FREE 10-Day Program to Reclaim Your Wildness

A step-by-step journey to meet your Inner Animal, trust your instincts, and express your natural self without worrying what others think. Isn’t it time to be free?

The Instinctual Woman

Hi, I’m Láyla, an autistic art activist who grew up in the wilderness. I am an undomesticated woman, a wild human animal. I live – and paint – from instinct. 

Each painting is a direct transmission to help you awaken your instincts and remember what it’s like to be free.
