Elevating Souls in the City of Angels: From USC Lectures to the Transformative ‘Hands of God’

In the sprawling metropolis of Los Angeles, where dreams are pursued and stars are born, there exists a unique intersection of the academic and the ethereal. This is the story of Gabriel, a beacon of spiritual enlightenment, whose journey has taken him from the prestigious lecture halls of USC to the transformative realms of the ‘Hands of God’.

Gabriel, your reputation as a healer precedes you, especially after the Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill event. How did your journey begin?
Born in Chicago, my early life was deeply rooted in tradition and Christian faith. But it was the discovery of my Ashkenazi Jewish heritage that truly set me on my spiritual path. This profound shift in identity led me on a pilgrimage across South America, where I learned from shamans, meditated, and sought the divine. Through this journey, I uncovered my true calling: to heal and serve humanity with the divine energy that had been within me all along.

Your recent lecture at USC was a significant event. Can you share more about that experience?
Absolutely. Teaching at USC was an honor and a testament to the universality of spiritual journeys. The event was designed to give students valuable tools to align their mind, body, and spirit complexes. It encompassed energy healing, yoga, a lecture, and sound healing. The aim was to bridge the digital and divine, helping students understand the spiritual impact of online interactions and the fundamental concept of chakras and auras.

Tell us about the Soul Scape retreat. How does it align with the mission of Aura Gods?
Soul Scape is a manifestation of the deeper mission of Aura Gods. It’s a retreat designed to help individuals awaken, heal, and transform. While some retreats utilize plant medicine like ayahuasca, the primary focus is on holistic mind, body, and spirit healing. It’s about returning to our true essence, healing from past traumas, and embarking on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment.

How do the teachings from your ‘Hands of God’ class integrate into the retreat experience?
The ‘Hands of God’ energy healing class provides the foundational knowledge and techniques that we further explore and deepen during the retreat. The retreat offers an immersive experience, allowing participants to not only learn but to live and breathe the teachings, experiencing firsthand the transformative power of energy healing in a supportive, nurturing environment.

What has been the most profound feedback you’ve received from someone who has experienced both your class and the retreat?
One individual shared that while the ‘Hands of God’ class opened their eyes to the world of energy healing, the retreat truly opened their heart and soul. They described it as a journey from intellectual understanding to deep, experiential transformation. They were able to confront and heal deep-seated traumas and emerged from the retreat with a renewed sense of purpose, clarity, and inner peace.

As someone who has touched the lives of many, from celebrities to everyday individuals, what do you believe is the universal thread that binds us all in our quest for spiritual growth?
At our core, we all seek connection, understanding, and love. Whether we’re in the limelight or leading quiet lives, the human experience is marked by a quest for meaning, purpose, and a deep-seated desire to understand our place in the universe. My work aims to facilitate that understanding and to guide individuals towards a deeper connection with themselves and the divine.

In the heart of Los Angeles, Gabriel continues to be a guiding light, elevating souls and bridging the gap between the academic and the spiritual. His journey from USC classrooms to the miraculous ‘Hands of God’ and the serene embrace of the Soul Scape retreat serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us of the boundless possibilities that await when we align our mind, body, and spirit.

Tell us about your recent involvement in Black Wellness Day. How do you prioritize giving back through charitable acts like this?
Gabriel: “Black Wellness Day was not just an event; it was a heartfelt mission to uplift the Black community in Los Angeles. I felt a deep calling to offer free energy healings to all attendees, emphasizing the importance of wellness and spiritual connection. The response was overwhelming. To cater to the large turnout, I organized participants around the pool in groups of 30, channeling energy and healing to each soul present. The process, while intensive, was a testament to my unwavering commitment to the community. Such acts of service are not just occasional endeavors; they are integral to my ethos. I am constantly driven to make time for charitable acts, ensuring I play my part in enhancing the collective well-being of our vibrant local community

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Absolutely. In today’s whirlwind of life, it’s all too easy to lose touch with our inner essence and the energies that surround us. Yet, within every individual lies a reservoir of strength, resilience, and untapped potential. I urge everyone to embrace moments of introspection, to seek out experiences that resonate with their soul’s yearning. Whether it’s through transformative retreats like Soul Scape, meditative practices, or simply immersing oneself in nature, it’s crucial to find your unique path to inner equilibrium. Remember, healing isn’t just about repairing what’s fractured; it’s a journey of rediscovering and celebrating the radiant light that resides within each of us.
