HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT WE KNOW?
ILA Radio is where we explore how people come to know what they know through the mind, body, spirit, and soul.
Each conversation is a space to explore what shapes our worldview, what our bodies teach us, how spirit moves us, and how imagination reveals truth.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Hosted by Laura Alyn Ornelas, ILA Radio is a space for deep, multidimensional conversations at the crossroads of mind, body, spirit, and soul.
Each episode invites a guest to explore how they come to know what they know.
Rooted in the belief that learning is a living process, ILA Institute redefines what it means to be educated. Through stories of awareness, curiosity, and transformation, ILA Radio uncovers how knowledge moves through us—not just in thought, but in feeling, intuition, and creative expression.
This is a podcast for thinkers, feelers, and polymaths in the making—for anyone daring to reimagine what it means to learn, to grow, and to know.
