Marc Torra

Marc comes from Urus, a small village in the Pyrenees, the land of the Cathars. The name Urus is of Indo-European origin and it means ‘a place where the water springs’. He went abroad in 1995 after graduating from the University of Barcelona, and since then has lived and worked a little in every continent. By living in other countries, Marc has associated with many different cultures and ways of thought, especially with those he calls ‘earth people’. From them, he has learned a different way of reasoning, and discovered that the future of the planet depends on our ability to learn what such cultures have to offer.

As an author, he writes about spirituality and new tendencies, developing and intermingling genres, making use of both narrative and essay writing. He tries to understand and experience things for himself in order to build bridges between cultures and spiritual traditions across the globe.
