Heart of Man Nemanja Sonero: Mastering The Art Of Strength & Gentleness | EP 35
Nemanja Sonero is a relationship coach, mentor for men, and movement expert who's dedicated his life to inspiring the growth and empowerment of men and women worldwide.
Growing up without a clear model of healthy masculinity nor an understanding of what it means to be a man, Nemanja faced a challenging childhood, shaped by the profound impact of two wars in his home country of Serbia.
This eventually led him to venture out into the world in search of mentors and teachers who could support his growth and help him reclaim and nurture the parts of himself that had been hidden in the shadows.
Determined to uncover his fullest potential, he embarked on a lifelong journey of discovery, immersing himself in a wide range of disciplines such as martial arts, movement, yoga, psychology, personal development, plant medicine, and shamanism. From the jungles of indigenous tribes to the ancient philosophies of India and China, Nemanja sought wisdom from every corner of the world.
For over 20 years, Nemanja has passionately shared his gifts, teaching more than 70,000 people in over 1,000 workshops around the globe and reaching millions more through his online programs and videos.
His work is devoted to helping men and women awaken to their purpose, embody their natural gifts, and create lives filled with authenticity, joy, and connection. Combining his expertise in movement with coaching, Nemanja serves as a powerful conduit for love and inspiration, empowering individuals to step boldly into their highest potential.
In this conversation with Nemanja, we explore the profound impact that movement disciplines such as dance and martial arts—particularly capoeira—have had on his personal journey.
Using these practices as metaphors, we examine the interplay between the "masculine" and "feminine", the dynamics of "leading" vs. "following" and the balance between "stillness" and "expression". Nemanja shares how his journey with movement has guided him toward a deep integration and embodiment of these complementary spectrums.
Additionally, we dive deeply into Nemanja's understanding of masculinity and the developmental journey that men are being asked to embark on. We explore the value and importance of mentors, the need for men to build a healthy relationship with shame, and how we can come into right relationship with power.
And finally, we explore Nemanja's deeper understandings of relationships, including his philosophy on communication, how to lead through moments of trigger, and the practices that support cultivating a healthy and loving relationship culture.
As I've come to understand, at the heart of Nemanja’s mission lies a profound belief that we are here to live fully, share our hearts with openness and radiance, and contribute to creating a better world for future generations. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Nemanja, who, as I see it, stands as a testament to integrating both strength with gentleness.
I’m excited for you all to dive into this conversation.
