A Glimpse into some of our Subject’s Lives

Sonja Semyonova | Co-Host

Sonja is a mother, wife, and co-founder of the Holy Eros Institute. A wild woman with a penchant for writing as a published author, erotic explorer, and burgeoning dominatrix, she has plenty to share around the liberated feminine. After opening their marriage a few years ago, they found a newfound freedom in their erotic expression. However, she’s now also navigating a possible divorce with her husband of ten years, and open to finding new ways of letting their old ways of relating die while still maintaining a threshold of freedom.

ALEX | WORSHIPPER CAST

A creative boisterous and playful character with more than enough charisma and charm for 10 people, Alex is enjoying the newfound experience of dating the resident Sex Priestess Aubrey, and the gifts (and challenges) that ensue.

Also a mother and co-founder of the Holy Eros Institute, Phoenix has been an embodiment and sexuality educator for over a decade. However, identifing as an old soul romantic and monogamous woman desiring a relationship, her internal struggles around how to weave and balance two opposite worlds of reality bring up thoughtful questions around the challenges Esther Perell has pioneered around ‘mating in captivity’. Can one be in the world of sexuality & eroticism while maintaining a long term monogamous relationship?
