Losing yourself is human, but you can always RE-connect
You are not broken. You work, you show up, you carry everything — and somewhere along the way you started living on autopilot. RE is not here to tell you that you’ve failed at your own growth. Growth isn’t a straight line, it’s a spiral: you pass through the same point again and again, a little closer to your center each time.
RE gives you grounded tools — sessions, Cosmic Ikigai readings, and workshops — to shorten that trip back to yourself, without shame and without toxic positivity.
What is RE?
RE is a grounded spiritual practice founded by me (Gemny Ibarra Salamanca), based in Porto, Portugal, offering 1:1 ontological coaching, Cosmic Ikigai readings, and online & in-person workshops for Spanish and English-speaking people who already did the inner work — therapy, books, courses — and still feel stuck in autopilot.
Every symbolic tool — astrology, Human Design, Ikigai — is translated into a concrete decision or practice you can apply on an ordinary Tuesday. RE doesn’t sell enlightenment. RE promotes emotional sovereignty: the certainty that you can always find your way back to yourself, and the method to do it faster each time.
The Compass: Our Services
You don’t need another course telling you who to become. You need a map back to who you already are. These are the three ways to work with RE, depending on how much support you need right now.
Cosmic Ikigai
The Soul Map: a personalized reading blending Astrology, Human Design, and the Japanese concept of Ikigai. It reveals your natural talents, your current blocks, and translates all of it into a real plan of action — not just a pretty chart.
Limited launch spots available.
Request Reading1:1 Session
The Strategic Stop: a single ontological coaching session designed for the moment you realize you’re saying yes with your mouth and no with your body. We slow down, name what’s happening, and find your next honest move.
The Roadmap
Ongoing Guidance: for when one session isn’t enough and you want consistent, weekly accompaniment to actually apply your 1% daily changes. Available as a 1-month or 3-month follow-up.
Previous Workshops
RE also lives outside the screen. Here’s a look at two recent in-person gatherings.
Lisbon
Ikigai Workshop — Japan’s Day Celebration
Held as part of Lisbon’s Japan’s Day celebrations, this short-format session introduced participants to the concept of Ikigai and guided them through a first, simplified version of their own purpose map — a gentle entry point rather than a full-day deep dive.
Porto
Unveiled — 1st Edition
Hosted in Porto, Unveiled was a group experience built around one honest question: what do we sometimes keep hidden inside ourselves? Through guided reflection and shared conversation, participants practiced looking directly at the parts of themselves they usually avoid — without judgment, without needing to fix it on the spot.
Notice — A Short Film
It started as an idea, and then a contest came along, so I wrote and directed a short film about presence. “Notice” is a quiet meditation on what happens when we finally stop looking somewhere else — always fixing something, always heading toward the next thing — and simply look around. Nothing changes except the way we’re looking, and suddenly beauty isn’t waiting in another place; it was always right here: in the comfort of a shared meal, in a silence that says everything, in a room full of noise that feels like home, in the simple joy of being seen. This film is the seed of everything RE does now — presence as the way we come back to ourselves.
Hi, I’m Gemny.
I know what it feels like to do the work — therapy, books, courses, retreats — and still catch yourself repeating the same pattern, followed by that very specific kind of guilt: with everything I’ve learned, how am I still here?
That guilt is exactly what RE exists to remove. Growth was never meant to be a straight line. It’s a spiral: you pass through the same point again and again, but never in the same place. Each time, you land a little closer to your center. Falling back into an old pattern isn’t proof that you failed. It’s simply how learning repeats itself until it settles.
RE is everything I wish someone had handed me sooner — not a promise of a perfect, permanent transformation, but a set of concrete tools to recognize when you’ve drifted, and a clear way back. Sessions, the Cosmic Ikigai method, and the workshops you saw above are all different doors into the same practice: getting 1% closer to yourself, today, and again tomorrow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers, no sales pressure.
It’s a personalized methodology combining your astrological birth chart, your Human Design profile, and the Japanese concept of Ikigai to build a practical map of your talents, blocks, and next steps — not just a symbolic description, but something you can act on.
No, and we’ll never promise that. RE doesn’t sell enlightenment or a permanent transformation. We promote emotional sovereignty: the confidence of knowing you can always return to yourself, and the tools to do it faster each time.
Yes — RE is built specifically for people who already have the vocabulary, the books, and the courses, and who don’t need to start from zero. What’s usually missing isn’t information, it’s a personal system to return to when things get blurry again.
The Cosmic Ikigai reading is a one-time deep map of who you are and where you’re headed. The 1:1 session is a shorter, focused conversation for a specific moment you’re stuck in right now — think of it as a strategic stop, not a full map.
No. Astrology and Human Design are used here as symbolic language, always translated into concrete, real-life decisions. You don’t need to “believe” in the stars — you just need to be open to using them as one more tool for clarity.
1:1 sessions and Cosmic Ikigai readings are held online, so you can join from anywhere in the world. Workshops, like Unveiled and the Ikigai Workshop in Lisbon, are occasional in-person gatherings announced in advance.
It will happen — and that’s expected, not a failure. The goal of RE was never to stop you from ever losing yourself again. It’s to shorten the time it takes you to notice and come back, every single time.
We don’t do positivity that ignores what you’re actually feeling. Every symbolic or spiritual concept is grounded into something specific you can do on an ordinary day.
The Roadmap is an ongoing accompaniment — available in 1-month or 3-month formats — designed to support you in actually implementing the small, 1% changes that come out of your reading or session, rather than letting the insight fade after one conversation.
