hi friend,

Thanks for being here!

These are my updates for the week across all the branches of The Ornelian: Grounded Spirits, ILA Institute, PubLish, and Belasprii.

This is the first time I’m sharing them all in one place.

Let’s see how this goes…

---

🌐 THE ORNELIAN

• We reached 500 views on the website today!

🎙 GROUNDED SPIRITS

• I’m in a pretty good rhythm getting a new episode out every Wednesday.
• I never knew how much fun I would have vlogging and editing. I only wish I started sooner!
• Next up: being more comfortable posting about it on IG and TikTok.
• Check out this week’s episode here!

🌀 ILA INSTITUTE

• ILA Radio is fully booked through December! The guests are incredible — can’t wait for you to hear these conversations. If you want to apply to be a guest, scroll to the bottom of ILA Radio.
• Episodes are dropping every Thursday!
• I’ve been refining the difference between the Ornelian Bridge and the Ornelian Framework:
  • The Ornelian Bridge (OB) is what connects us — to ourselves, to each other, to nature, to the world, to the universe, to all that was, is, and all that will ever be!
  • Turns out, this is the purpose of education!! The purpose of education is just to CONNECT!
  • The OB shares how your personality, the people in your life, your astrology, your education, your life path, your environment, your country, society are all interconnected.
  • It is also a how-to guide to be able to make better decisions and lead you to ultimate fulfillment.
  • The Ornelian Framework is the detailed map of how the OB works: the background, references, resources, and the inner architecture.
  • On the podcasts I’ve been on recently, I’ve been saying that at least one of them will be out at the end of September, so be on the lookout for that.
• I’m filming the intro for the first ILA Institute episode on learning through museums, libraries, and nature across LA. The rest is done, so I’m hoping to finish editing today and Monday — aiming to release it Tuesday.
• Hopefully new ILA Institute episodes will be posted every Tuesday from now on.
• For now, check out this week’s ILA Radio episode!

🎨 BELASPRII

• In 2021, I published 9 books in 6 months — mostly guided journals. Check them out here!
• I feel another surge coming. I’ve got a few half- to mostly-finished books that I’m hoping to release by the end of the year. See their titles at the bottom of my research page.
• My art has been evolving — really excited to start sharing both my photography and paintings.
• The current piece I’m working on is called “See” — it feels like my best work so far and holds a lot of relational depth.
• For The Circle, classes are planned to start July 29.
  • Spark, Glow, and Shine will rotate weekly.
  • On the fourth week, I’ll do one-on-ones.
• For The Studio, I’m aiming to upload project content early next week.
• For The Stories:
  • Wednesdays: Grounded Spirits episodes
  • Thursdays: ILA Radio
  • Tuesdays (starting next week): ILA Institute episodes
  • More art/book posts coming soon!

that’s all for now

That’s what I’ve been up to this week. I’ll keep posting updates like this as things unfold.

If you’re curious, want to collaborate, or just want to follow along, I’m glad you’re here.

See you next time,
Laura Alyn
