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.
Breathwork and the Animal Mind
Breathwork isn’t about transcendence, it’s about speaking the language of the animal nervous system. Explore how breath reconnects you to instinct, regulation, and the sovereign wisdom of the body.
The Sacred Ordinary: Finding the Divine in the Natural World
Explore how divinity lives not in abstraction, but in the natural world, the body, and everyday rhythms. Reclaim your reverence without religion, remembering our connection to nature, and finding meaning through embodiment rather than belief.
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.
The Myth of Separation: Healing the Split Between Spirit and Matter
Discover the truth behind the illusion that Spirit and Matter are separate, revealing how modern culture manufactured the split and how reclaiming the unity of body and soul awakens power, presence, and wholeness.
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.
Stillness as Medicine: The Art of Doing Nothing
A fierce reclamation of rest in a world addicted to productivity. Explore stillness as a living medicine—an antidote to burnout, hypervigilance, and the cult of constant doing.
The Wild Intelligence of Emotion
Emotions aren’t problems to fix — they’re messages from the body. Learn how emotions evolved as survival signals, how modern culture pathologized them, and how to rewild your emotional intelligence to reconnect with inner guidance.
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.
Rewilding Sexuality: From Shame to Sacred Instinct
Discover how rewilding sexuality helps you release shame, reconnect with your body, and reclaim your sacred, instinctual power. A guide to embodied healing and sensual sovereignty.
