Feminine Wisdom: Acting on embodied desire
A free 60-minute workshop for women who are tired of waiting for their prince to come
Recording available now
Women have been sold a thousand stories about what we should want, and how we should act.
Fairy tales that have been rewritten to tell us that a princess is always rescued by a handsome stranger.
Business leaders who tell us not to be too sexual, or risk being seen as sleeping our way to the top.
Coaches telling us to “be in our feminine,” when what they really mean is to be obedient.
But let’s be honest – being told what to do isn’t exactly working. It’s time for us to become the authors of our own narratives.
Dropping the “good girl” for good
Most women have been taught to divorce themselves from their desires. We’re rewarded for silencing our inner knowing in order to be “reasonable,” “likable,” or “good.”
The cost of this disconnection is enormous: confusion in love, numbness in sex, exhaustion in life.
Here’s what can turn this all around: listening to our desires…and living according to them.
It’s time to find out what the deepest well of wisdom that lives within you wants. Join me for this free workshop to learn, to listen, and to align.
Find your full spectrum feminine power
If you’ve ever known a woman you would describe as living in her power, you have probably noticed that she is far from one-dimensional. She’s tender one moment and fierce the next. She’s receptive today and commanding tomorrow.
The reason she shapeshifts so readily? Because a woman tapped into the power of her desires is responding to the ever changing nature of the life force within her.
This kind of wisdom isn’t common, but it’s absolutely available to you. All you need to do to claim it is learn how to listen.
Why this matters
We are trained to search for answers outside of us.
To follow the health fads that the coaches promise will fix everything.
To trust everything the teacher says, even when something feels off.
To let our partners lead, even when they’re not stepping up.
Meanwhile our desire is screaming for us to notice. When we listen, we act in alignment. We awaken our sexual power. We make aligned decisions. We see pitfalls before we fall into them.
But if we fail to notice our inner longing, we stumble through life.
Your body already knows what’s true. It’s time to come home to the wisdom that has always been waiting there.
What you’ll experience
In this 60-minute workshop, you’ll:
- Discover all the subtle ways you’ve been turning away from your inner knowing.
- Find out the connection between erotic turn on and overall life satisfaction.
- Learn the connection between desire, intuition, and anxiety.
- Explore the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna’s Descent, and find out the hidden wisdom about women’s desire.
- Practice one simple technique you can use daily to move into aligned, intuitive action.
You’ll leave with a felt sense of what it means to act on embodied desire – and how to start living, loving, and leading from this place.
This workshop is for you if:
- You want to feel eros leading you – the vibrant, alive, turned on self that is aching to come out and play.
- You’re ready to end sticky patterns of self-doubt and giving your power away.
- You’re tired of old relationship scripts that ask you to give up your authority and inner compass.
- You’re ready to stop betraying your body’s wisdom and start trusting your longings to lead you home.
Our Muse, Inanna
The story we’ll follow is one of the oldest written tales, Inanna’s Descent. The Queen of Heaven follows her longing to the Underworld, where she loses everything – and gains even more.
We’ll explore one often overlooked part of her story – and what it can teach us about how to lead with feminine desire even when the odds seem stacked against us.
Come find out what this Goddess has to say about listening to your desire and the wild and wonderful path it will lead you on.
Hey there, I’m Sonja Semyonova.
I’m a writer, intimacy guide, and creator of The Heartbreak Cure.
My work blends storytelling, somatics, and erotic reclamation to help women step more fully into their bodies and ask for what they want without apology. I teach from the crossroads of grief and turn-on, devotion and desire, heartbreak and holy hunger. It’s in this place that I guide my clients to befriend the raw parts of themselves and regain faith in the power that lives in all the places they told you not to look.
I can’t wait to show you what’s possible.
In your words:
“I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror and say a nice thing about myself when we first started working together. I can say all kinds of nice things to myself now.”
– Kyndal
What my Clients Say
“Sonja is a wise, authentic guide teaching deep and mind-blowing truths using a fun, light-hearted approach.”
“Sonja’s practices helped me feel safe in my body again. I didn’t know healing could feel this good.”
“I finally feel like a strong woman”
The answers are inside you – you just need to listen.
The Journal
A Time Before Mama
Once upon a time I was not Mama.
I remembered this on a recent solo trip to New York City, the place I lived during the height of my maiden years. There I was, walking at a rapid pace to the subway, headphones filling my ears with the songs of my own personal soundtrack. I hurried through my old neighborhood in Brooklyn, old things now mixed with new things. And though I have now been away for more time than I was there, I suddenly felt a deep longing for the past.
A Redefinition of Self-Care, and a Prayer(ish) to Share
This morning, before anyone woke up, I did a few really important things.
First, I brushed my teeth, showered, and warmed up some tea (shatavari root, cardamom, and rose).
Then, I went downstairs to spend almost two uninterrupted hours completely to myself. I meditated with the spring equinox full moon pouring silver light onto my back. I journaled a bit, and then practiced asana as the sun filled the sky.
And then I went upstairs, when the real part of my Self-care practice began.
After my daughter wakes, my time is no longer uninterrupted. She is tossing toys around the house. Asking unanswerable questions (“Mama, but why can’t we touch the ceiling?”). Refusing a sweater, only to run around the house screaming, “I’m coooold!”
All of that is before we sit down to breakfast.
If I didn’t have the understanding that she is offering me a million opportunities to meet my higher Self, I would lose my mind every single day.
My Favorite Form of Yoga
I used to belong to a very fancy gym. I joined not only because of the fancy hot tub and steam room, but because it was where some of the best yoga teachers in Denver taught.
The classes were labeled with catchy phrases like “Power Flow” or “Kick-it” that told you very little about the ethos of the teacher. I knew enough to know that I should research the bios of the teachers before signing up — it matters greatly who teaches us.
