Sexology Outsiders, Advanced Clinical Perspectives & Hidden Worlds of desire
Join from anywhere IN THE WORLD. ALL ARE welcome. 100% ONLINE CONFERENCE!
Join the Sexual Health Alliance (SHA) for a dynamic two-day training exploring all the complexities of those that live outside the lines of sexology. Expand your clinical knowledge by exploring the topics many professionals never receive formal training on. Sexology Outsiders is an immersive online weekend designed for therapists, coaches, educators, and healthcare professionals who want to better understand kink, consensual non-monogamy (CNM), and other alternative relationship structures through an evidence-informed, sex-positive lens.
Featuring internationally recognized kink expert and sex educator Midori, alongside a lineup of expert presenters, this weekend goes beyond myths and assumptions to provide practical, affirming approaches for working with diverse clients. You'll gain deeper insight into relationship dynamics, power exchange, consent, communication, identity, and the unique strengths and challenges within these communities.
Whether you're looking to build confidence in your clinical practice, expand your cultural competency, or better serve clients whose relationships exist outside conventional norms, this weekend will provide practical tools, current research, and meaningful conversations that challenge assumptions and broaden your perspective.
Join us for a weekend dedicated to understanding the hidden worlds of desire—and becoming a more informed, inclusive, and effective professional.
Open to all professionals and aspiring professionals.

Midori
Known as the “supernova of kink” according to Dan Savage, Midori emerged from the Sex Positive movement in San Francisco in the early 1990s and soon became one of the most highly regarded presenters on sexuality, personal fulfillment, and kinky adventures.
Her reputation as an authority and leading expert on alternative pleasures stem not only from her unique and entertaining process of teaching concrete skills, but in her ability to deconstruct and distill complex matters of desire into surprisingly accessible lessons with eloquence and humanity.
She’s known for tackling challenging topics with fresh and relevant insights. She calls this her “head-heart-hands” method to create a space where people are allowed individual self-exploration. Fundamentally, she is motivated by helping people to create authentic and intimate relationships while emphasizing self-actualization, shame reduction, acceptance, and justice.
Known for her ability to teach with equal parts expertise and heart, her intensives and pop-up classes are often booked months in advance. She is best known for her transformative small-group educational intensives, Rope Dojo and ForteFemme: Women’s Dominance Weekend Intensive.
She is the author of The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage, Wild Side Sex, and Master Han’s Daughter. She has also contributed her expertise and voice in numerous articles, columns, works of fiction, and instructional books.
When she’s not traveling and teaching, she’s creating provocative and haunting art and performances.

““The presenters for this weekend were absolutely phenomenal- I cannot stress enough how incredible it was to hear from so many professionals in different areas of the field, and how their experiences and research add value to our existing knowledge base as sexuality professionals.””
