"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy."
- Rumi
Listen to our interview with Ben
Ben Mumme is a Montreal based educator, creator, and podcast host on a mission to help people unlock their potential and live with purpose. He teaches Physical Education and Health at John Abbott College and holds a Master's in Education in Sustainability, Creativity, and Innovation, a combination that lets him connect everyday learning to real world change. Ben is the host of the Living Your Greatness Podcast, where entrepreneurs, athletes, authors, investors, and thought leaders share the habits, strategies, and mindsets that fuel their success, and he is the founder of Creative Entrepreneurs, the Montreal community that brings the city's most inspiring founders together for events and speaker series. At La Maison Ralia, Ben activated Content Room 1, a space built for guests who arrive with something to say, a story to record, or a voice ready to be amplified. He has already recorded episodes of Living Your Greatness in our Content Rooms, along with live podcast recordings in front of sold out audiences in our event space, and the room decoration itself reflects exactly the kind of deep, intentional thoughtfulness he brings to every conversation. From the books to the painting on the wall, Ben will take you on a journey to unlock more of your own inner greatness.

Mini Tipi Blanket Choice: Nibi, featured in Ben's Content Room 1 (APT 2). Every room at La Maison Ralia is layered with a Mini Tipi blanket because we believe in furnishing our hotel through Canadian makers who carry meaning into their craft. Mini Tipi is a women-led, Indigenous owned company whose blankets tell stories rooted in this land, and each Activator chose the one that resonated with them. When you wrap yourself in one, you are holding a piece of that story too.
Room designed by Florence Charron of Indee Design. Every room at La Maison Ralia was designed by Florence, whose vision holds the architectural and sensory through line that runs across the entire building.
About the Activator Program
The Activator Program is the heart of what makes a stay at La Maison Ralia different. Every room in our hotel has been designed by Montreal's own Florence Charron of Indee Design, then handed over to a local Activator, a Montrealer whose work, energy, and story shape the soul of the space. Each Activator walked their own Human Design journey to arrive at the decisions they made for their room, so when you stay with us, you are not just sleeping in beautiful surroundings, you are stepping into a curated expression of a real person, their craft, and their gifts to this city.
We chose this model because we believe regenerative hospitality starts with relationship. Featuring Montreal makers, healers, designers, and founders inside our walls is how we keep the local economy circulating, invite guests into genuine connection, and honour the philosophy that has shaped Ralia from day one: we are inviting you to the table. Explore the rest of our Activator blogs to meet the Montrealers behind each room, and discover the businesses we want you to fall in love with too.
