The FERAL Journal is a place to unlearn the noise — to strip back the filters, the formulas, the false calm of performative wellness — and return to what’s real. Here, we write from the dirt up: about food as freedom, nature as teacher, and the quiet revolution of living in rhythm with the earth.
THE FERAL JOURNAL
Information Overload: The Modern Brain in Crisis
Information overload is pushing the modern brain into crisis. Explore the cognitive and nervous system cost of constant input, and how to reclaim mental spaciousness through ritual, attention hygiene, and sensory simplicity.
Regulating the Storm: Nervous System Literacy in a Disregulated World
A dive into polyvagal theory, co-regulation, and the ancient somatic practices that help us soothe, reconnect, and return to ourselves. Learn how movement, rhythm, and human presence can rewire a stressed modern body back into safety and connection.
When Food Betrays Us: Addiction, Chemicals, and Corporate Greed
A raw, unfiltered exploration of the San Francisco lawsuit against Big Food — exposing how ultra-processed foods, hormone-pumped animal products, and engineered cravings have starved us of real nourishment.
Attention as an Act of Love: Reclaiming Your Focus in the Attention Economy
Discover how your attention has been commodified in the modern economy and why reclaiming your focus is an act of devotion, intelligence, and self-sovereignty. Explore how presence makes you safer, more connected, and wildly free in a world built to distract you.
The Purpose of Life? To Own Your Mind Before Someone Else Does
Explore how modern life constantly manipulates our emotions, attention, and beliefs—and why the true purpose of life is reclaiming sovereignty over your own mind and body
Convenience Is Killing Us: How Ease Has Become Anesthesia
An analysis of modern convenience culture—how “easy” living disconnects us from our bodies, communities, and the living world. Explore why reclaiming friction, effort, and slowness is essential for resilience, aliveness, and belonging.
Reciprocity Over Sustainability
A critique of sustainability as a consumer myth — and a call to move beyond “less harm” toward reciprocity, regeneration, and reverence. Explore how to shift from extractive habits to living in the right relationship with the Earth.
Skill, Mastery, and the Wild Mind
In a culture obsessed with titles and speed, Skill, Mastery, and the Wild Mind calls us back to depth — to the slow craft of learning, presence, and devotion. Explore how true mastery reconnects us to purpose, aliveness, and the sacred intelligence of doing one thing well.
Digital Detox or Digital Decolonization?
Digital detoxes address overstimulation but not the systems of control. This FERAL essay explores digital decolonization — a trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed approach to reclaiming attention, embodiment, and agency in a colonized digital landscape.
