Nemanja Sonero

A Lover Of Life. A Mentor. A Lover Of Movement. A Soul Essence Photographer. A Community Leader. A King. A Partner To A Queen.  

I grew up in an environment where I did not have a healthy example of the healthy Masculine or what does it truly mean to be a Man in this world. So, one day I decided to change all that by setting out into the world and find mentors & teachers who can support my emergence and help me in reclaiming my own life. From that moment I devoted 20+ years latter with endless trainings in martial arts, movement, yoga, psychology, personal development, living in the jungle in an Indian tribe and studying plant medicine, shamanism, tantra and so much more.]

I strongly believe we are here on this planet to live fully every day of our lives, share our open and radiant hearts so we can create a better world for our children and every next generation to come.

And over the years, he has been called many things. They called him a player, a beauty seeker, a relationship guru, a hopeless romantic, a pickup artist, a dating coach, a seducer… the media even at one time called him “the world’s greatest seducer”. But, according to him, it is far more simple than all that.
