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.
Co-Regulation: The Forgotten Technology of Togetherness
Co-regulation is the nervous system’s original technology - long before self-care apps and solo healing. Explore how humans evolved to regulate emotions together, why isolation dysregulates us, and how reclaiming connection restores safety, resilience, and belonging.
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.
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.
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.
