Woven Roots Collective

We are thrilled to be included in this month’s Food & Dining section of the Atlanta Journal Constitution!

They tried our grounding, calming blend EARTH and loved it!

Here’s their share:

“Elizabeth and Kwang Mae Ocheltree-
Cho, founders of Decatur’s Woven Roots
Collective, make seven blends of wellness-
focused teas, including the one we’re
enjoying this month, Earth. The name
comes from the grounding properties of
the organically grown herbs it contains,
intended to settle the nervous system and
support resilience: wood betony, catnip,
skullcap, oat straw, and chamomile and
lavender flowers. We found it calmed
without making us drowsy. The 1-ounce
canister will make at least 20 cups of tea.
$17 per canister. Available on wovenrootscollective.com”

Thank you 💚

We are marking the Spring Equinox with a Rewilding Walk!

Join us Sunday, March 22, 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 facilitated portion of the walk 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. You can also choose to head back to our starting point with the group, during which we can chat and connect more with each other. We suggesting allowing about three hours for the whole journey.

This is a free, or by donation, event, but we request that you RSVP by 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!

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
