I get super excited to talk to people about the nervous system. In particular, I am passionate about clearing up misconceptions about regulation (i.e. regulated does not mean calm) and dysregulation (i.e. it’s not worse than regulation) and empowering folks with knowledge and tools to listen to, understand and effectively respond to their own unique nervous systems.

Why rewilding? From my perspective, many regulation strategies are pretty much the equivalent of trying to TAME a wild animal rather than attempting to understanding and tend to it with reverence and respect. So much of the conversation about regulation is a furthering of our domestication rather than an accessing of our natural, authentic embodied intelligence.

Rewilding is about listening deeply to the body’s inherent wisdom as expressed through the nervous system rather than imposing expectations for how to be and feel determined from outside one’s self.

I’m offering a immersive experience to delve into the foundations of the nervous system (from a Polyvagal perspective). In this immersion, you’ll learn skills and practices for tending and befriending your own unique nervous system profile, and we’ll explore together how to tap into and deeply trust our own natural body wisdom through the language of the nervous system.

Gather with me on Sunday, March 1, from 10 am to 2 on, in person at my office in Downtown Decatur (specific location will be provided if you sign up). Space is limited to 8 participants!

Investment=$105, a vegetarian lunch is included

Recalibrating Resolutions with the Nervous System In Mind

01/26/2026

Elizabeth Ocheltree-Cho is going live today at noon! She’ll be sharing about the challenge of resolutions rooted in “shoulds” and how to recalibrate resolutions with the nervous system in mind.

01/22/2026

When we “should” ourselves, we dysregulate ourselves.

In the case of shoulds, dysregulation can show up as fear or anxiety, frustration, shame or self-criticism, low motivation, or even hopelessness. These states or energies are not super helpful when it comes to working towards goals or resolutions.

If you’ve set New Years goals or intentions and you’re struggling to stick with them, ask yourself, are these really authentic to me or are they rooted in “shoulds”?

Does this topic spark your interest? Join me for my first ever livestream on Monday, January 26, at 12 for a mini workshop about Recalibrating Resolutions with the nervous system in mind.

Can’t make it live? Comment ME below, and I’ll send you a recording of this free mini workshop.

Be kind and curious with yourself ❤️

One of our dogs, Izzy, has taken to standing in the middle of the yard facing the woods beyond our fence and barking for 10-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.

Today, as I heard her barking away in the background while I was attempting to meditate, the thought came to me, she’s not being bad or obnoxious. She’s singing to the land, communing with the forest, talking to all the beings—birds and squirrels and those less seen—that live on this land with us.

This is her offering. Her voice. Her love. Her daily practice.

Our neighbors might not appreciate this reframe, but it is bringing me a lot of joy to think about.

And reminding me to also sing to the land, commune with the forest, and talk to all the beings on this land with me.

What could this world be like if more of us made daily offerings of connection to the land we live on with love and attention?

Note: I couldn’t get a video of Izzy making her offering because every time she saw me, she ran to me for pets and play. So instead, I’m sharing a photo of her from another of her favorite daily spots, sitting on the porch where she can look out over her land, her friend.

It feels almost cliché to talk about slowing down during winter, but this year the reminder resonated so deeply I have to share about it. I actually started “wintering” weeks ago without meaning to. Fall was a whirlwind — so much happened at once, and then I sort of disappeared. Both personal and professional demands stacked up, my momentum tanked, and overwhelm took the wheel. My capacity felt low, which meant that pretty soon the fear and anxiety of not doing enough soared high. It’s a familiar loop for so many of us in this era of relentless pace.

Then I remembered: overwhelm isn’t a failure; it’s my body waving a flag. It’s a signal to pause, recalibrate, and carve out space for recovery. It’s not working against me — it’s trying to guide me.

And just as the body knows when to slow, so too does the natural world. Shorter days, colder temperatures, and longer evenings inspire a lifestyle that is incongruent with the hustle and grind, the endless summer common in the over-culture. They offer gentle nudges toward a rhythm that’s far more ancient and humane, and many people feel the impact of those nudges, however they respond to them.

Maybe it’s Seasonal Affective Disorder…or maybe it’s a deeper resonance in the bones, a knowing that winter simply asks something different of us. This season isn’t here to sabotage productivity or undermine our capacity. It’s an invitation to rest and digest — to metabolize all the year has held, to recuperate and quietly prepare for what comes next.

For me, overwhelm was just the reminder that I was resisting that invitation. Now, with renewed commitment to practice, I’m choosing to embrace the slower pace and let winter work its quiet magic.

We are marking the Winter Solstice with a Rewilding Walk!

Join us Sunday, December 21, at Arabia Mountain for ritual and nature connection. Our Rewilding Walk includes embodiment practices, foraging of seasonal herbs to make tea onsite, and fellowship with the forest and each other.

The walk is approximately 2 miles. The path is fairly flat and natural terrain (rocks, roots, soft earth, etc). We will move at a slow pace, focusing on connection with our own bodies and senses, and the natural landscape.

The ritual will last about 2 hours, and there will be a point where you will be given the option to part from the group and stay longer in the woods if you’d like.

This is a free, or by donation, event, but we request that you RSVP by DMing us or emailing us at wovenrootscollectiveatl@gmail. This will let us know to be sure to wait for you before starting our ritual, as well as to provide you additional details, like where to meet.

We look forward to gathering!
