Born in Cuba, Giulietta discovered Vajrayana Buddhism and took refuge in 2014, beginning a spiritual journey that would become inseparable from her experience as an immigrant. After leaving Cuba and rebuilding her life in the United States, Sangha became both a refuge and a vital source of belonging. Through years of Ngondro, Guru Yoga, and an evolving interest in Mahamudra, Giulietta has explored loneliness, freedom, commitment, and the importance of the teacher-student relationship. Her path eventually led her to work in a neuroscience laboratory studying meditation and consciousness, bringing her Buddhist practice into unexpected conversation with Western science.
