iala is a somatic release. It’s a time to build community in Zilker Park, a place to make a friend, a space to shake off the weight of everyday life.
We begin with chanting — yes, chanting — using our voices together to crack open something real. You don’t need to be a singer. You just need to show up. Vocal activation is how we arrive, how we find each other, how we remember we’re not alone.
Then we dance. Then we go deep with a guided visualization meditation to seal it all in.
iala exists to help us feel safe in our own bodies and safe in community THROUGH THE HEALING POWER OF SOUND AND DANCE.
Love to sing and dance? You’re going to thrive here.
Terrified of both? PERFECT — I built this for you. The people who need a little direction, safety in numbers, someone to lead the way in.
This is NOT a performance. This is a community experience where we open our voices, move our bodies, release stuck emotion, and fill ourselves with good vibes.
My name is Matt - I’m a wild, monkey man whose only mission is to bring people together to foster a sense of safe, loving community in the public spaces of Austin. I am your facilitator.
Let’s dance.
