Befriend your body. Rewrite the story of your life.
Dear beautiful –
From the bottom of my wisdom heart, thank you for signing up for BodyStory: Mother. I cannot wait to join you on this journey as we dive deeply into ourselves, our bodies, and our mothers.
In six weeks, you’ll gain a new understanding of how your body was shaped by your mother, and how you made it your own. At the end of the course, you’ll have written your very own sexual coming of age story – the tale of how you separated from her and became more of you.
The course is designed to be digested at your own pace, as radical self discovery through writing is a personal experience you should work through taking as much time as you need. At the bottom of this page, you’ll find a tutorial that explains how to access the course portal. We’ll also be gathering live for Q&A sessions – if your registration is after Nov 8th, you’ll be able to access recorded Q&A sessions in your portal, and can still submit questions for me via email as well! You’ll find all the details you need to join the Q&A sessions below:
When: Six Mondays, beginning November 14 through December 19, beginning at 2 p.m. Pacific Time
Where: Zoom
Password: 233773
What to bring: A notebook and pen (some weeks may require additional items that will be included in the reminder email)
I’ll send a reminder the day of, but mark your calendar now so the time is blocked off. While I love it if you attend live, I understand that life is, well, life. I will record each session and post it on my website within 24 hours. (To access the recording, you’ll need to log in using the credentials you created when you purchased the course.)
Looking forward to seeing your BodyStory come to life.
Much love,
Sonja

In Your Words
“I am a changed person because of Sonja and so are my relationships.”
"I was surprised by how well Sonja really listened to me, and not just my words. She is present, and thus can find the deeper expression among all the rambling and 'I don’t knows.'"
"Sonja is a wise, authentic guide teaching deep and mind-blowing truths using a fun, light-hearted approach.
After each session, I feel more in touch with my intuition and filled with optimism."
The Journal
A mother’s dinacharya
I used to be the type of person who was offended at any notion that I should rise before 10:00 a.m. From ages 11 to 25, I stayed in bed most days until about 11:00 a.m., then stumbled around in my pajamas until I decided it was finally time to do something with the day. Often, by the time I finally made it out the door, I found that the day had long since passed.
This woman who used to shuffle through life has long since been transformed. When I traded my late nights for day jobs, I found something quite fascinating: I actually enjoyed the mornings. When I began setting my alarm to make it to 6:00 a.m. yoga asana classes, I knew that something had shifted in me that would never go back.
Reclaim morning: A recipe for porridge and life
There is a different kind of morning waiting for you, more than a caffeinated rush to get out the door. This morning is delicious, slow, and nourishing. And it tastes like porridge.
Impossible, you think. You’re busy. You have children who need tending. Breakfast (if it happens at all) is cold cereal or a frozen bagel. But before you believe what you’re saying, I’ll ask: Is that the way you want your life to be?
Forgiveness on a purple silk pillow
I worry that she will hate me one day. That she will take personally my look of exhaustion when she dumps a bucket of bathwater on the bathroom floor, or the way I am a little rough with a wet rag cleaning sweet potato from her ear at dinner.
“On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.”
