Living Seasonally, Healing Deeply, and What’s Ahead

Dear Beautiful Friends,

October is here, and with it comes that gentle nudge from nature —  to slow down, soften, and surrender. 

Just like the trees release their leaves, we too are called to let go. Let go of what’s no longer serving. Let go of the push, the proving, the pressure. This season invites us inward — to reflect, refuel, and realign.

In a world that rarely pauses, fall is nature’s way of reminding us that rest is not weakness, it is wisdom. Our ancestors lived in harmony with the earth’s rhythms. Their food, rest, movement, and rituals shifted with the seasons. And our bodies — wise and wild — still crave that same alignment.

Living Seasonally is a Form of Healing

When we honor the season we’re in, we create space for deep nourishment and renewal.
Here are a few gentle reminders to support you this season:

• Eat with what's in season: Root veggies, squashes, soups, herbal teas — foods that ground and warm.
  

• Honor rest: Shorter days are nature’s cue to soften. Light candles, stretch, sleep deeply.
  

• Reflect & release: Journal by the fire, take long walks in the falling leaves, ask yourself — What am I ready to let go of?
  

• Tend to your nervous system: Breath-work, herbal teas, take epsom salt baths, or simply stillness — let your healing be slow and sacred.
  
  You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to release. You are allowed to bloom again — in your own season.

This Month in Retreats, Coaching & Sisterhood:

Whether you're joining me for a retreat in paradise, circling with women in Sisterhood Rising, or doing the deep 1:1 work of coaching — know this:

“Everything I offer is rooted in this truth:
You already hold the answers within — you just need the space to hear them.
When women are witnessed, supported, and deeply nourished, transformation becomes inevitable.
That’s the power of retreats and sisterhood. That’s the beauty of coming home to yourself.”

And speaking of what’s coming...

Tulum Retreat — 1 Spot Left!
I have a rare and beautiful opening for The Wellness Sanctuary Retreat in Tulum, January 9–16, 2026.
This is your chance to begin the year in a powerful way — with clarity, intention, sisterhood, and deep rejuvenation on the white sand beaches of Mexico.
I’m calling in one special woman to join us — someone grounded, open-hearted, kind, and ready to begin her year with presence and purpose. Get all the details here: https://www.cheryldavenport.com/tulum-mexico-2026

Greece Retreats Are Coming!
I’m so excited to finally announce that registration for Greece 2026 opens this week!
I’ll be hosting not one, but two retreats through the Greek islands of Paros, Santorini & Athens:

May 29 – June 8, 2026
June 12 – 21, 2026

These will open first to my past retreat guests, followed by my VIP guest list — so stay tuned for those early invitations. 

The Sisterhood Rising
You may have noticed I’ve been a little quiet on The Sisterhood Rising page… and that’s intentional.
I realized I couldn’t keep up with the pace of content creation while honoring what matters most: presence, travel, family, and my own wellbeing.

But make no mistake — the sisterhood is very much alive. It’s happening in real life — in the retreats, the continued connections, the heartfelt messages, the laughter, the support, and the sacred space we hold for one another.

I’ll continue hosting calls and posting when I feel inspired, but I’m releasing the need to “keep up” — because life, real sisterhood, and soul-aligned leadership don’t follow algorithms. If you ever need a sister, a soft place to land, or a private coaching session, I am here. You can email me anytime at cheryl@cheryldavenport.com

Coming February 2026…
A Retreat Sisterhood Reunion is in the works! And possibly… a very special guest flying in from Italy! 🇮🇹  Stay tuned — this will be something extraordinary.

Sending you love, grounding energy, and space to let go.
Let Fall remind you how beautiful it is to release — and how powerful it is to realign.

With all my heart,
Cheryl

Hello dear friends,  

If you missed the kick off call for The Sisterhood Rising I’ve done a little recap for you.  We had 25 incredible women on the call, we laughed, we cried, and we connected deeply to each other. My heart is full. 💖 
It was a vulnerable share but I felt like I needed to share a little bit of my back story...

My Story: From Feeling Stuck to Creating a Life I Love

I know what it’s like to feel stuck, alone, or unsure of what’s next. But I also know what’s possible when you surround yourself with the right people and have support!

In 2015, on the outside, my life looked incredible. I had a beautiful home on three acres, a great corporate job, financial security, and my daughters were living their own amazing lives. But I felt empty and out of alignment with my purpose. I had played it safe for far too long.  I was stuck, unsure of who I was or what I wanted next.

A pivotal moment came when I went through a painful breakup. I had built a life that demanded I work two jobs just to sustain it. Was this really it? Was this what I was meant to do until retirement? Overwhelmed, heartbroken and exhausted, I knew I needed a major shift.

So, I did something radical. I booked a solo 17-day trip to Thailand and Bali. That trip changed everything. I fell in love with Bali and started a side hustle—a clothing business. Five trips and two years later, in 2017, I took the leap. I left my job, sold my home, and moved to Bali with just two suitcases.

That year became a deep journey of self-discovery. Yoga, meditation, healers, therapy, workshops, coaching—I treated my healing like a full-time job. Those first two years I also built my clothing business, got my coaching accreditation, and hosted my first retreat in 2019. I was on my way…or so I thought.

Then 2020 hit. The world shut down. I returned to the U.S. with no home, no job, no income, and no plan. I had to start over. Fear was a constant companion, but I kept moving forward. I built my coaching business, moved to Mexico, and started planning my next retreats. I lived with one foot on the gas and one on the brakes for years. But mindset work, intention, action and lots of meditation helped me push through. Faith + Action = Miracles

Fast forward to 2025: I now lead retreats in Bali, Italy, Mexico, and Greece, coach women through major life changes, and split my time between Mexico, Bali, and Italy. But there was still one thing missing—a way to support women beyond the retreats, to help them continue their growth and connection and to support the women that may not be able to join us on retreat.

That’s why I created The Sisterhood Rising.

Doing It Scared, Doing It Awkward, Doing It Anyway!

How do you want to FEEL in 2025?

Your energy is everything. Have you ever met someone who lights up the room without saying a word? Or someone who leaves you feeling drained? That’s energy. Everything is energy. It’s either flowing or resistant.  When your energy aligns with your desires, you become a magnet for what you want. That is why we need to focus on the FEELING.

Let’s align with that energy now:

• Think of a time when you felt the way you want to feel in 2025 or a moment you felt so much gratitude. Let yourself sink into that memory. Feel it.

• What made you feel that way? What can you do more of?

• Meditation can help shift your energy. Even 10 minutes a day can take your foot off the brake and allow flow into your life. 

If you fully trusted yourself, what bold move would you make this year?

Why are we not all doing this and what gets in the way?

Fear & Limiting Beliefs:

Fear can paralyze us. The bigger the dream, the bigger the fear, the more we grow. We grow to size.  Can I share something…I’ve wanted to create this Sisterhood since 2019. What took me so long? Fear! But I’m doing it scared anyway. And that’s okay. You don’t have to do it alone. When 1 woman makes it and pushes through her fear she makes room for other women to come with her!  It’s not ‘look at me, it’s come with me’!

Ask yourself:

• Where do I feel the most resistance?

• Is this fear really true?

• What’s one small step I can take?

Your thoughts create your results. Circumstance ➔ Thoughts ➔ Feelings ➔ Actions ➔ Results. Shift your thoughts, shift your life.
