The environmental crises we face — deforestation, displacement, drought — are symptoms of deeper systems of extraction, domination, and disconnection.

We've got 26 excellent reasons to register for the 10/29 Peace Begins At Home Summit - take a look at these speakers!!

Together, we will explore how systems of harm begin at home and ripple outward — and how we can co-create new pathways rooted in care, equity, and partnership. This is a global conversation designed to generate real insight and real change.

"The summit focuses not only on the widespread violence against children worldwide, but also on how it ripples outward—into social violence, into war, into global conflicts ... that may include crime, but more often it is war."

"I have no quick fix for these problems, except to say we must move from domination to partnership, and stop equating difference with inferiority."

Now is the time to connect the dots: the way we raise our children and treat each other in families directly shapes our politics, our economies, and our future.

"Child care isn't a luxury—it's the essential backbone of a thriving economy and a public good. It adds $152 billion to the economy and supports 2.2 million jobs,"

"Our research in California finds that mothers of young children are less likely to work than fathers, by 29 percentage points... Time spent on dependent care falls much more heavily on mothers than fathers, even when both parents are working." www.ppic.org/blog/testimo...

"What if national economic statistics captured the value of care labor? What if caregiver earnings reflected the real value of their labor? What if the value placed on caregiving skills brought more men into care professions, helping upend gender stereotypes?"

"The share of working moms with young children has tumbled this year, as return-to-office measures and government layoffs take an outsize toll on women." This is entirely avoidable. Bad policy promotes family financial insecurity.

New and expecting parents who work at Veterans Affairs are getting approved maternity and paternity leave canceled after their union contract was terminated by the White House, according to two internal memos viewed by Axios. www.axios.com/2025/08/15/v...

We have consensus on issues of care! "... there was widespread support for policies to sustain the care economy across demographic characteristics, caregiver status, and political affiliation." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Please join us on a life-changing journey!

How do we move to the Caring Economics of Partnerism? -Use new metrics -Demonstrate return on investment in caring economics -Address poverty, esp poverty of women & children -Develop cohesive family environmental policy agendas -Shift social institutions, values

"... we all have a common interest in investing in care from the youngest ages through to adulthood. We need policies that prioritize public provisioning, workforce equity, and protection."

For you to consider as summer winds down -great ideas from the latest issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies! pubs.lib.umn.edu/index.php/ij...

"The current economic system is simply unsustainable. It is fundamentally built on the exploitation of both people and nature, rather than care for either. Anyone with even a basic sense of empathy who is not in complete denial can see that." goodmenproject.com/featured-con...

There is overwhelming evidence showing the urgent need for an infrastructure of care.

The Peace Begins at Home Summit is a one-day global virtual event on 29 October 2025 produced by the Center for Partnership Systems bring together global leaders and changemakers, to explore how shifting to partnership can build lasting peace.

"When health care is provided irrespective of income, all segments of society can access this essential service. This contributes to greater life chances, and less disfunction and polarization across society." www.healthcoalition.ca/six-ways-pub...

A culture of partnership is one that supports our full humanity and helps us reach our highest human potential. Whether we build this culture depends on the choices we make, from the seemingly insignificant to the most exalted.

"The report estimates the state loses approximately $1.5 billion each year due to workers missing time or leaving the workforce altogether because of child care issues."

The Peace Begins at Home Summit is a one-day global virtual event on 29 October 2025. Inspired by Dr. Riane Eisler’s work, it brings together global leaders and changemakers, to explore how early patterns of domination shape our world.

The Partnership Brokers Association just released this video of my interview recorded earlier this month.

How does Riane Eisler’s partnership-versus-dominator framework in The Chalice and the Blade offer a roadmap for building more equitable and compassionate societies? goodmenproject.com/featured-con...

Care is at the center of families, society, and the economy. It deserves to be at the center of public policy. "She listlessly uttered the most tragic truth of her life and casually put the spotlight on the need for a recognised care economy in city lives." "

"The report estimates the state loses approximately $1.5 billion each year due to workers missing time or leaving the workforce altogether because of child care issues."

This is exactly right! “The care economy is not a woman’s issue. It’s an economic imperative. It’s not a burden to be managed. It’s an opportunity to be seized. It is not a cost to be minimised. It’s an investment that will transform societies."

In this new interview I discuss how authoritarian structures perpetuate violence and trauma, and call for a shift toward partnership systems rooted in empathy, equity, and relations of mutuality rather than in-group versus out-group thinking and acting. goodmenproject.com/featured-con...

In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, world-renowned systems thinker and cultural historian Riane Eisler joins us to illuminate a path forward, one that replaces domination with partnership at every level of society.

"..we need to invest in the care economy to “future–proof” our economies. Currently, GDP does not account for the caregiving sector, with many people—most often women—working full–time, unpaid care jobs. By investing in caregiving, countries would be more cognizant of the infrastructure they lack."

"Yet despite these changes, structural inequalities persist, and public policies have not kept pace. As policymakers grapple with how to care for the young and old among us, this research offers critical insights into who provides care now."

We invite you to join a global virtual gathering inspired by the life’s work of Dr. Riane Eisler. This one-day event will explore how the patterns we learn in our earliest relationships shape everything from education and leadership to economics and peacebuilding.

"A culture of partnership is one that supports our full humanity and helps us reach our highest human potential. Whether we build this culture depends on the choices we make, from the seemingly insignificant to the most exalted. By understanding our options, we can make wise decisions."

When you put this together w new theories on who we were in the past by ppl like @rianeeisler-cps.bsky.social & David Graeber & @davidwengrow.bsky.social with the reality of how many Indigenous & First Nations cultures were/are,

"Potter ... read Eisler’s 1987 book, “The Chalice and the Blade,” that she found a name for frustration, the top-down domination model that through fear and force puts man over man, man over woman, race over race, religion over religion."

"When Mahatma Gandhi was asked what he thought of western civilisation, he replied, tongue-in-cheek, "It would be a good idea." The devaluing of 'feminine' attitudes and work, of caring for humans and for Nature, has destroyed civilisation."

Riane Eisler and Darcia Narvaez explore the synergy between Eisler’s Partnerism framework and Narvaez’s Evolved Nest model, grounded in the rediscovery of ancient values and practices that honor interconnectedness and the sacredness of all life.

"I believe these everyday practices of care must become central to how we imagine and build cities." Exactly right!

"Dr. Eisler proposes a model in which “power” is shared between male and female 5. It is neither a patriarchal nor a matriarchal structure, but a shared one wherein different mindsets converge to be of service to the larger whole."
