About the Instructors

Beth Wareham
I'm a writer, editor, and publicist with a long career in the publishing industry. I've worked on numerous bestselling books, including The Joy of Cooking and Animals in Translation, and have authored three of my own—two nonfiction and one novel. I've also ghostwritten many others. After my time at Simon and Schuster, life led me on a personal journey, which brought me to Soulmaker Press as an editor and publicist, starting with co-writing The Art of Soulmaking with Nicole Daedone.
Sofia Platti
Sofia Platti is a Spokesperson of the Red Thread Women’s Movement and has practiced Orgasmic Meditation while following the Eros Path for eight years.

She is currently writing a book that shares her journey on this path, guided by the wisdom of the Eros Sutras. Through her writing and teaching, Sofia seeks to inspire women to embrace their authentic selves.

Jason Davis
From the streets of Harlem, NY, I found myself deeply involved in gangs, ultimately becoming a high-ranking shot caller. Since then, I've transformed my life, dedicating myself to peace advocacy, writing, poetry, and raising awareness about mental health. Drawing on my past leadership role and connections, I successfully guided my entire former set towards nonviolence. Now, I channel my energy into being a positive force within the community, using my experiences to help others steer clear of the gang life I once knew.
