Through years of research and study of metaphysical tools under many of the world's most renowned spiritual leaders such as, Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Brian L.Weiss, MD & hypnotherapist, Kabbalist Rav. Berg, William L. Rand. Grand master of Reiki, Dr. Wayne Dwyer, Osho, Dr. Bernie S. Siegel, Dr. Richard Bartlett DCND, Matrix Energetics master and others, Ms. Kriheli utilized her many skills as an artist and a healer and synthisized them all into an array of cathartic experiences.

Baruch Inbar's vision is to utilize the most powerful cultural avenues, focusing on mass media such as TV, web, film and animation, in order to inspire people worldwide for global transformation.

Baruch's involvement in the entertainment industry began in Israel, where he was chief animator, writer and concept developer for Tyrex Multi-Media Corporation. He oversaw development of multiple, award winning, educational and entertainment CD-ROMs, and later served as a creative consultant for Gravity Post Production, one of Israel's leading post-production houses.

In 2001, Baruch graduated with distinction from the world-famous Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena, California, where he was recognized for his artistic achievements. While a student there, Baruch illustrated and provided cover art for a contemporary children's novel.

Baruch's thesis project at the Art Center -- a visionary re-interpretation of the classic children's novel, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS -- attracted Disney's attention, beginning his creative partnership with the company. Baruch's re-envisioned characters, dramatic landscapes and innovative treatment of the classic story were the genesis of the computer-generated feature film now set up at FOX with a $150 million budget. Baruch is co-producing the film, as well as working hand-in-hand with the studio as creative consultant.

Besides THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS, Baruch is currently engaged in developing many other entertainment properties, such as toys, animated films, and web properties. His guidelines in developing such properties are motivated by his passion and desire to create a new breed of high quality entertainment, which carries a strong sense of cultural integrity and responsibility.
