Gabriella was trained as a Shakespearean actor and works out of Los Angeles. Her long-standing humanitarian engagement dates back to 2004. Both her acting and humanitarian projects bring her closer to understanding human nature and what binds consciousness to the reality we live in. Born in London into a family of artists, Gabriella is of Anglo-French and Portuguese-Mauritian descent and was influenced by her many cultures on her journey of understanding. She is the founder of the production company Conscious Intent which supports different media formats to promote The Human Story. In 2019, she produced ‘I am Never Alone’, which was the impetus for the Never Alone global campaign co-founded with Deepak Chopra, among others, a mental and suicide prevention movement which also offers support for loved ones left behind. Again, with Chopra, she contributed the series titled ‘Telepathy and Autism’ to the Mind Dive App which she co-developed in 2019 as a tool to reduce stress and relieve trauma through meditation, science, yoga and films. She shares her meditational practice with parolees in the greater Los Angeles area, facilitated by the Amity Foundation.

An international teacher, mystic and poet, Richard Rudd attended Edinburgh University where he gained a Master’s degree in literature and metaphysics. A born explorer, he has studied with great teachers in the East, traveled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas and the Arctic. He worked in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung and meditation in Thailand and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. Throughout his adventures Richard has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland. Richard's mystical journey began early in life as he experienced strange energies rushing throughout his body. This catalyzed his spiritual search. All his studies became synthesized in 2002 when he began to write and receive the Gene Keys - a vast synthesis exploring the miraculous possibilities inherent in human DNA. It took 7 years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications. Today Richard continues to extend and embody the wisdom he receives, sharing it with an ever-growing audience around the world. His work has been translated into many languages, and in 2019, Richard was named on the Watkins list of The 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.
