Over the last 50 years, Asexuality and Aromanticism have gained visibility in communities, academia, and public discourse, with a notable surge in awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Research suggests that 1% to 5% of the global population identifies as Asexual—representing over 70 million people worldwide—while data on Aromanticism remains limited but equally significant. As recognition of these orientations grows, so does the need for education and training to create affirming spaces in both professional and community contexts.

This training provides an in-depth exploration of Asexuality and Aromanticism through biopsychosocial perspectives on attraction, expansive identity development, challenges like compulsory sexuality and amatonormativity, inclusive frameworks for desire, pleasure, and relationship dynamics, and practical strategies for fostering non-sexual/non-romantic intimacy, self-acceptance, and community connection.

It welcomes Therapists, Doctors, Coaches, Educators, Counselors, Surrogate Partners, Sex Workers, and Asexual and Aromantic individuals seeking to deepen their understanding in a validating and inclusive environment.

Through nuanced discussions, historical context, community perspectives, and evidence-based insights, participants will gain actionable strategies and a wealth of resources to empower their clients—or themselves—to build meaningful and fulfilling lives.
