ABOUT ME
This is Not a Brand.
It’s a Bonfire.
Where we warm ourselves with each other’s truth.
We’re here for the deep & meaningful and the dirty jokes.
For the belonging, the rallying, and the relief of being wildly human together.
You know that moment—when you’ve done the therapy, the inner work, the ceremony, the integration, you’ve named your patterns, cycled through layers of healing and awakening and you still find yourself with grief the size of the world’s pain, a half-finished book in your Google Docs, and a browser full of open tabs about how to quit Instagram, get a full night sleep and make a living doing what you know you came here to do?
Yeah. That.
I make art out of that moment. I remind us we’re not failing, our systems are. We’re not broken, even when our hearts are. Our spirits are resilient and we’re better together.
We're swimming in cultural tides that fray our attention, distort our worth, extract of everything and everyone, divide us, and tangle our work with survival. But in the middle of this holy mess? We’re making art. Making meaning. Making dinner. Making love.
I make a life and body of work out of these moments—not to fix them, not to commodify them—but to meet them fully. On stage. In writing. In community. So we can all feel a little less alone.
And maybe even be proud of how gloriously human we still are.
I’ve watched her help big players and emerging voices sort out their psyches and make amazing things happen in their industries. If you want deep transformation and a long-term vision aligned with your strengths and joy: Chela. She’s deeper than deep, prodigiously wise, f*cking hilarious and real.
Author of Bless & Release
Founder of the Centered App
There’s a real magic to how Chela works. She is able to put words to things you’ve never quite been able to grasp. She attends to both inner and outer worlds and is able to design ways forward that make real, tangible shifts both in your psyche and in your life.
Founder of Family Ecology
For over two decades, I was a coach, teacher, and facilitator, working with entrepreneurs, practitioners, community-builders, artists, authors, CEOs, and witches. I taught and certified hundreds of coaches around the world, midwifed bodies of work, built a thriving business, and held transformational change spaces for leaders who do good.
Now, I’m tending transformation in other ways.
Through Wisdotainment—my irreverent, heartfelt Substack. Through my one-woman show, A Little Bit Much. Through talks, performances, and spicy monologues that invite audiences to drop the act and find each other in the sacred mess of being alive.
I used to midwife genius. Now I light up a room and watch it rise.
My work lives at the intersection of soul, story, and sacred mischief.
I create things to stoke our humanity as we shake the system, massage the heart, and rub arnica on the sore spots we’re done bypassing. I make art with stretch marks and teeth. I write about mid-life, the end of the world and co-imagining new ones. I speak on creativity, community, calling, collapse, and why we’re all still so tired after doing all that inner work.
Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's tender.
Sometimes it's wildly uncomfortable.
Always, it's real.
I care about building ecosystems, not empires.
I care about sharing resources and ideas like sourdough starters.
I care about showing up with our full selves, not our polished personas.
Welcome to the bonfire.
If you’re craving spaces where complexity is welcome, where your Calling isn’t a marketing strategy, and where liberation includes laughing so hard you pee a little, but you’re not embarrassed because who even has a pelvic floor anymore and also, we’re all friends here—you’re in the right place.
Chela Davison is a writer, performer, and facilitator whose work explores personal and collective transformation. She blends decades of depth work with storytelling, performance, and community practice to create spaces of play, reflection, resonance, and we’re-in-this-together kind of change.
