        I absolutely loved this course. I came in knowing nothing about AI—and left not only understanding what it is, but also how I can use it to empower myself and create with confidence, both professionally and personally. It opened up a whole new world for me.

Teresa Escrig, PhD in AI, author of "Safe AI"

Hi, I’m Teresa Escrig—an AI expert, conscious entrepreneur, and lifelong spiritual practitioner passionate about helping heart-led changemakers harness technology without compromising their values.


With a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and over 30 years working at the leading edge of the field, I’ve taught AI at the university level, led award-winning research (130+ peer-reviewed papers, 4 patents, 2 PhD thesis directed), and founded three AI-related startups. I’ve also worked with Fortune 500 companies, including Microsoft, where I advised executives, built Responsible AI frameworks, and helped bring ethical AI into operational MLOps pipelines.


But what sets me apart isn’t just my technical depth—it’s my gift for translating complexity into clarity, and for bridging the worlds of deep tech and deep wisdom.


For over 30 years, I’ve been devoted to a path of spiritual practice and conscious living—studying ancient schools of wisdom, developing mental focus, and working with the power of conscious manifestation. I’ve translated transformative spiritual books and cultivated a deep, daily practice that weaves mindfulness, presence, and purpose into everything I do. This inner work is the foundation that allows me to bring heart and depth to the world of AI.


I created AI 101 for Conscious Creators to fill a gap I felt deeply: a space where visionary educators, coaches, creators, and soul-led entrepreneurs could engage with AI in a way that feels empowering, ethical, and expansive.

If you’re ready to scale your mission, amplify your creativity, and co-create a more conscious future—without losing your authenticity, sovereignty, or soul—I’d be honored to walk this journey with you.
