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
The Easy Dinner Template
The only thing that is more challenging than spending all morning at a Mexican government office waiting for your visas to be processed is spending the whole morning at a Mexican government office waiting for your visas to be processed with a toddler…whose parents forgot her snack.
There is very little one can do about this kind of situation besides take a number, go to the bodega across the street, buy a couple bananas, and wait.
The twos
I write this as my daughter is crying in the bedroom. My husband is in there with her, trying to coax her to put on her pajamas and get into bed. At the surface is her desire to watch a cartoon show, a rare treat for her. We don’t own a television and rarely even show her our phones, but she is learning to use the potty and her reward for a good poop is to see an episode of a show about this friendly tiger kid she loves.
On our best behavior
We have moved. Twice. Once from a tiny island across an ocean, then to a different country. My daughter is 2½, and cannot understand what would make us uproot everything she’s ever known and move to a place where her mother’s seven years of Spanish classes fail to meet all her needs.
It has been a very intense time of mothering. She cries for me nonstop. She clings to my neck like a 30-lb monkey, terrified about the way the stairs look, or that strange sound in the distance. She wakes in the night and yells my name. It is as if she needs to know that I did not sneak off while she was sleeping and hop on another airplane. Yes, my love, I say, Your mama is here.
