Hello 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.

The first time sharing them all in one place went well last week, so let’s see how it goes this week…

---

🌐 THE ORNELIAN

• We had a lot of traction with other WordPress Bloggers. It was nice to feel the support in this community!

🎙 GROUNDED SPIRITS

• Still working on being more comfortable posting clips from this week’s GS episode on IG and TikTok.
• I’m still having fun posting about my life. I just wish I felt more comfortable sharing it with family and friends. I want to post them but if I ask then I have to disclose that I’m posting…
• Throughout GS’s history, never have I ever watched/listened to previous episodes.
  • Now, I watch them with my husband!
• Check out this week’s episode here!
• You can find all the links for the episode, all the links mentioned in the episode, and many bonuses here!

🌀 ILA INSTITUTE

• Before guests were coming via podcast apps but now agents are just emailing me. It’s been cool witnessing the growth and reputation of ILA Radio.
  • Episodes are dropping every Thursday!
  • Check out this week’s ILA Radio episode!
  • You can find all the links for the episode, all the links mentioned in the episode, and many bonuses here!

• I’m so proud to announce that the very first course from the ILA Institute is now live!
  • It’s completely free!
  • You can watch it on YouTube or
  • listen wherever you get your podcasts.
    • Apple Podcasts
    • Spotify
• This course explores the future of education through an intuition-led lens, and in it, I share everything I learned while wandering through the museums of Los Angeles.
• It’s a personal, reflective, and visionary start to a new kind of learning.
• 🎧📺 Tune in now — and let me know what resonates most with you.
  • You can find all the links for the episode, all the links mentioned in the episode, and many bonuses here!

• This week, I realized that I was ready to take ILA Radio to the next level.
• Here’s what’s to come:
  • Learning about the rest of the asteroids and cosmic bodies on TimePassages, by finding commonalities with guests who have the same placements as me.
    • Of course I also want to go deeper with the common planets and cosmic bodies and we will go deep on specific placements.
      • If we don’t have any placements in common, we will talk about the where the sign that is ruling the sun season is on our charts and how we interact with that sign.
  • I’m starting a blog outlining my knowledge on each sign, how they each impact us, how they show up in my research, how they have showed up across time, and other fun facts about it.
    • Since I am a Leo Stellium, and we’re in Leo season, we shall start there.
  • ILA Radio’s tagline is “where we tune into all ways of knowing” so I asked chatgpt to outline all ways of knowing.
    • Click here to read what it said. I explain how ILA Radio has or will very soon discuss that form of knowing here.

🖋️ PUBLISH

• PubLish is a social club where changemakers, artists, and deep thinkers gather over food, share their creative work, unpack big issues, and build real-world solutions—one meaningful night at a time.
• I started a Threads account for PubLish! Follow it here.
• First event coming soon!
• It’ll be at a restaurant in Los Angeles, CA or its surrounding areas (depending on who signs up).
• Get your research, art, stories, and/or your ideas together to sign up next week.
