About me
My name is Gemma,
I have always been guided by the fire of my soul,
and for over 20 years, I have been supporting people
in living and dying.

I was born in Barcelona and never believed that life was limited to the explicable and tangible. At age of eleven I consciously started my spiritual journey after seeing the biographical film of St. Francis of Assisi, Brother Sun Sister Moon.
Nature was my temple, my place of encounter with the divine and where everything made sense.
Later on, after the death of my aunt and my father, the question about life and death ignited even more my inner fire, and at age sixteen I began to practice Zen intensively with Berta Meneses.
Pilgrimages, days of solitude in hermitages and caves, meetings with mystics and hermits of the mountains, together with a year of committed activism in Dominican Republic and another year as a Catholic monastic nun in a small community located in Catalonia, gave me the bases for an alive practice rooted in heart.
India, the awakening of my vocation
In 2007 I returned to Catalonia to create Dharmaloca, an eco-retreat center located in the heart of Montsant and lead the Awakening with horses project for a decade.
Since 2016 I live in a town near the northern coast of Catalonia together with my partner Sophia Style, creator of the Cyclical Woman project and with our 3 children, our dog and our kitten.
Today I continue to offer spiritual guidance, deep rest and meditation retreats, pilgrimages, council in nature, and all my services as a “death doula”.
My book, inspiration and legacy
My first book “There is Light and only Light, teachings to illuminate your inner journey” gathers what I have been sharing in dozens of retreats around the world. It is published in English by Watkins publishing.
I am a poet, passionate,
and I still don’t believe
what we take
for granted…
