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

“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
Karma yoga (on the path of motherhood)
I like the skins on sweet potatoes. I enjoy their texture and I like knowing that there are nutrients in them. I also don’t particularly like peeling them. It adds an extra step that is not necessary, which makes a difference in the limited time I have to cook us a meal. But she doesn’t like them. If I leave the skins on anything — sweet potatoes, carrots, grapes, even chickpeas — she sticks out her tongue and spits until the offending characters out of her mouth. Perhaps the texture is too much for her smooth baby tongue. Or maybe she doesn’t have the right technique to adequately grind the skins down with these new teeth of hers. My job is to smooth the rough road ahead of her, so I peel the sweet potatoes before I put them in the food we will share.
This too with love
I lived on Kauai for the past two years. During that time I never seemed to see the news. No one I knew had televisions and I almost never saw a paper. But as we are transitioning our life to Mexico, I have been stationed at my in-laws’ house in a suburban purgatory for a month. This is my vacation to the rest of the world. Here, the news is a part of life.
It’s not that I value being uninformed. Quite the contrary. It is that I value learning what I need to learn without taking a healthy dose of fear alongside it. It is possible to do this, though it does take a bit of work because everyone has a slant, including me.
How I learned to become an Ayurvedic baker (plus a recipe for cookies you can eat for breakfast)
When I was in my early twenties, I woke very, very early and hauled myself into a kitchen of a cafe in Boulder, Colorado. I flipped on the lights at 5:00 a.m., turned on the ovens, and spent my morning hefting gigantic trays of steaming muffins, pies, and cookies from back of house to front.
Baking has been in my DNA since I was born, and it was delicious fun to live out my childhood fantasies as a professional baker. But as much as I loved spreading the perfect cream cheese frosting on a carrot cake, this new direction kept appearing for me. At the same time I was learning to perfect my cheesecake recipe, I was learning about the effects of refined sugar on my body. I was whipping up layer cakes while doing candida cleanses, and suddenly it just fell apart. I left my job as a sugarplum drug dealer and sadly tucked my apron deep into the back of my pantry.
