For millions of years, evidence suggests that humans lived in relatively equal societies, where food acquisition and child raising were shared activities among community members both men and women, together. It is apparent that our environments of evolutionary adaptation, selected for humans with evermore prosocial traits. Domination and competition were minimized in favor of collaboration and partnerships of mutual aid. The idea that any human was superior to another would have been an absurdity. Contemporary forager societies also exhibit collective regulation of resources and power, diminishing anyone who may try to take more than their fair share or exhibit dominance over others. Only within that last 10,000 years or so, does the evidence show that a small number of societies turned to systems of domination, who then conquered the world and created hierarchies of rank, class, and everything else. Rewilding is an endeavor to live more closely to how we evolved to live, and in order to do so we must dismantle the mismatched environment that these dominating societies have created. How and when did this switch to domination happen, why did it happen, and is it possible to work our way back to egalitarianism? These are central questions to the rewilding movement, and they also happen to be the life's work of anthropologist Douglas Fry, who has come on the podcast to discuss this with me. Douglas P. Fry is a researcher at AC4 at Columbia University and Prof Emeritus at University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He earned his doctorate in anthropology from Indiana University in 1986. Dr. Fry has written extensively on aggression, conflict resolution, and war and peace. He is currently researching how clusters of neighboring societies, peace systems, manage to live without war. He has authored countless academic journal articles on the subjects as has written many books, such as Beyond War and The Human Potential for Peace, as well as serving as co-editor of Keeping the Peace: Conflict Resolution and Peaceful Societies Around the World and Cultural Variation in Conflict Resolution: Alternatives to Violence. His most recent book, Nurturing Our Humanity, is co-authored with Riane Eisler. Eisler and Fry argue that the path to human survival and well-being in the 21st century hinges on our human capacities to cooperate and promote social equality, including gender equality.Notes:Douglas Fry UNC Greensboro Faculty PageDouglas Fry @ Research GateNurturing Our Humanity at Bookshop.orgSustaining Peace ProjectSocieties within peace systems avoid war and build positive intergroup relationshipsMentions:Brian Ferguson's “Pinker's List: Exaggerating Prehistoric Mortality”The Chalice and the Blade by Riane EislerHierarchy in the Forest by Christopher BoehmBringing Down a DictatorBlueprint for RevolutionGlobal Nonviolent Action DatabaseWhy Civil Resistance Works by Erica ChenowethSupport the show

Reaching 93 years old is quite a feat. Achieving such longevity the way Riane Eisler has done so makes her journey all the more remarkable. A Jewish native of Vienna, Eisler was fortunate to live to see her 10th birthday. She and her family managed to escape Austria during the Holocaust, finding refuge in the slums of Havana, Cuba. They made their way to the United States in the late 1940s, a transition that put Eisler on a path towards gaining notoriety as a systems scientist, futurist, attorney, and author. Still active, Eisler continues to pour her mind and passion into her work. In her conversation with Women to Watch's Sue Rocco, Eisler explains why she considers the word “persistence” to be her middle name, and shares thought-provoking learnings from her decades-long career.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/women-to-watch-r/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, Anne Bland discusses the 4B movement from South Korea that focuses on autonomy, self-respect, and self-empowerment. The 4B movement stands for four ‘no's: no marriage, no childbirth, no dating, and no sexual relationships with men until women have the same rights and opportunities as men. But this isn't just about saying ‘no'; it's about saying ‘yes' to living life on one's own terms, creating space for true happiness, liberation, and fulfilment. After the presidential elections, 4B (and 5B, 6B and 7B) movement has gained momentum in the USA where women's sexual health rights are in jeopardy. Anne explores how the 4B movement's message of radical autonomy aligns with Selfishly Happy Revolution and how reclaiming pleasure can become a powerful, positive force.Anne explains what it means to embrace autonomy and pleasure in a world that often prioritises economic productivity and performance over self-care and conformity over individuality. Drawing on concepts from Tantra and therapeutic self-empowerment, this episode speaks to anyone ready to embrace a life that aligns with their deepest values, regardless of gender.What's Covered in This Episode?Understanding the 4B Movement: Its origins, principles, and what it represents for self-empowerment.Moving Beyond the Dominance Model: How societal "dominance model" coined by Dr Riane Eisler impacts personal autonomy and the relevance of challenging it today.Selfishly Happy Revolution: Why autonomy and pleasure are empowering choices that can redefine well-being.Concrete Steps to Embrace Autonomy: Practical ways to bring autonomy and pleasure into everyday life, including:• Rethinking consumer habits and addressing the pink tax• Supporting women-owned businesses• Reclaiming pleasure and self-connection as paths to well-being5. Three Transformative Practices: Grounding Breath, Heart-Centred Visualisation, and Emotion-Naming Body Scan to help listeners reconnect with themselves and process emotions in a healthy, empowered way.Key Takeaways• The 4B movement isn't about rejecting relationships but about prioritising self-respect, well-being, and authentic connection for a period of time.• Embracing autonomy and pleasure allows each person to break free from societal expectations that don't align with their true values.• Simple practices can help reconnect with oneself, redefine relationships, and find greater happiness and fulfilment.Call to ActionAnne encourages listeners to reflect on where they might be saying ‘yes' out of obligation rather than joy. Could you start choosing what brings happiness and peace instead? This episode guides listeners in taking concrete steps toward a life that's Selfishly Happy: avoid the "pink tax", support women- and ethnic minority-owned businesses, and celebratete pleasure as a path to well-being.Connect with AnneIf you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe to Tantric Sex for Lovers and Others for more episodes on empowerment, self-discovery, and pleasure.

Davvero in età preistorica sono esistite società matriarcali, dalle quali la gerarchia, e la violenza erano bandite? A proporre una rivoluzione che ha suscitato enorme clamore e che ha fecondato gli studi sulla condizione femminile sono stati i lavori dell'archeologa e linguista Marija Gimbutas e dell'antropologa Riane Eisler. Marija Gimbutas, che era lituana naturalizzata statunitense, morì a Los Angeles nel 1994. Studiò l'Europa preistorica e sostenne l'idea che la patria originaria del mondo indoeuropeo fossero le rive del Mar Caspio e le montagne del Caucaso. A lei si deve la cosiddetta ipotesi kurganica, la teoria delle steppe, secondo cui la più antica lingua indoeuropea sarebbe quella parlata dai popoli Kurgan, così chiamati dai loro particolari tumuli funerari.Riane Eisler è invece una sociologa viennese, che vive negli Stati Uniti, e si è occupata dei modelli evolutivi umani. È considerata la miglior erede di Marija Gimbutas. Ha ipotizzato il succedersi di fasi storiche, in cui il modello della dominanza fondato sull'ordine distruttivo maschile del controllo dall'alto, della gerarchia e della violenza si sarebbe alternato al modello mutuale della partnership, ispirato al rispetto reciproco e alla collaborazione tra i sessi. Di queste suggestive ipotesi discuteremo con due studiose, che stanno sviluppando nelle battaglie femminili le ipotesi formulate da Riane Eisler e Marija Gimbutas.

There was a time in human history where beauty, pleasure, sexuality and all things Venus were held sacred.And life was good.When the Goddess of Love reigned supreme, systems of true partnership flourished and the power and virility of the Sacred Masculine was equally honored and celebrated. These  civilizations were rich in sensuality, sport, ceremony, art and trade.Essential oils were used as medicine and in spiritual ritual.A  highly effective form of herbal birth control was traded for throughout the Mediterranean. Historians and archeologists say there is no evidence of domination or violence in the remnants of the art they left behind.Sounds like a dream doesn't it?Although we can't go back in time, we can find inspiration knowing that this once was a reality for some humans. And for a significant chunk of time.And pleasure was at the core of it.Can we reclaim what once was sacred, has been deemed taboo and restore it to sacred again?Is this Venusian Revolution for real?Absolutely!And you can begin by simply enjoying the hell out of your morning coffee.Let's dive in!Want to dive deeper?Sign up for The Venusian Summer Series:https://shakticore.com/venusian-summerCheck out Riane Eisler's book Sacred Pleasure here.

In this episode we speak with Riane Eisler, a social systems scientist, futurist, cultural historian, attorney, consultant, speaker, and author of many books, including The Chalice and the Blade and The Real Wealth of Nations, about how to construct a more equitable, sustainable and less violent world based on partnership rather than domination. Highlights include: Riane's childhood experiences of being a Holocaust survivor and living as a refugee in Cuba, which informed her study of contrasting societal models of dominator versus partnership; How domination systems enforce violence through rigid rankings, while partnership systems reduce abuse through democratic structures; How gender inequality, pronatalism, and population growth are integral to domination systems, and why engaging in population denial perpetuates hierarchies of domination within the family and within politics; How partnership model values, such as caregiving and non-violence, were prevalent in pre-historic times and are more conducive to individual human happiness and flourishing; Why examining past societies' egalitarian models can help us redefine power structures and gender in order to reconstruct models that are relevant in today's societies.

On this episode, Nate is joined by systems scientist Riane Eisler to discuss her decades of work studying ‘domination' and ‘partnership' societies throughout history and what it might mean to transition to more sustainable societies in the future. What we value at the individual and family level directly translates to the way we frame our governance systems - societies that emphasize empathy and caring also implement the same types of policies and values. How could we foster the more cooperative side of our humanity across all scales to create empowered communities and balanced decision making? What societies - past and present - lean towards a partnership paradigm and what benefits do their people receive? Is it possible to move away from violence and control oriented systems and into ones that value wide boundaries of empathy and understand the vital nature of care work? About Riane Eisler Riane Eisler is the President of the Center for Partnership Systems, which provides practical applications of her work, and Editor in Chief of the online Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies published at the University of Minnesota.

Part I proceeds Part III  In querying the text, Sacred Pleasure: Sex, Myth and the Politics of the Body (1995) by Riane Eisler, Ph.D., I spend too much time wading through Western dominator theories. The land is too far from the shore for safety. I do not swim. I respect water, and its power to interrupt and separate my spiritual home from me. If I board the ship, I am stuck, so I keep my body safe and stay away from floating ideas (with muscles). Eventually, they--these ways predicated on fallacy or untruth, will all evaporate and I will walk free again.  I didn't know until looking at the copyright information that Eisler and David Loye did create The Partnership Way, a workbook, which might answer some of my questions here.   

“Has a doll long criticized for perpetuating outdated gender norms and unrealistic body image become a feminist icon?”  NPR asked; “The movie takes place largely in Barbieland, a candy-colored, women-centered utopia where Barbies hold the positions of power (all of the jobs, really, except for "beach") and Kens are essentially peripheral.”  The Kens revolt - take over, start wars with each other, and try to dominate.   ​ We invited Dr. Riane Eisler, the distinguished author of “The Chalice and the Blade” to give us her perspective on the “Barbie” movie.  In "The Chalice and the Blade” Riane tells a new story of our cultural origins. She shows that war and the “war of the sexes” are neither divinely nor biologically ordained.  Her research reveals that human society originated in female/male partnership but was then coerced into a dominator society. She goes on to show us that a better future is possible in partnership!  Anthropologist Ashley Montagu called it “the most important book since Darwin's Origin of Species”.    Dr. Riane Eisler is President of the Center for Partnership Studies and has received many honors, including honorary Ph.D. degrees, the Alice Paul ERA Education Award, and the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation's 2009 Distinguished Peace Leadership Award, and is featured in the award-winning book Great Peacemakers as one of 20 leaders for world peace, along with Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and Martin Luther King.  She keynotes conferences worldwide, with venues including the United Nations General Assembly and the US Department of State. ​ centerforpartnership.org rianeeisler.com Power of Partnership Podcast See the video and ask questions of future guests at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theworldismycountry.com/club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.

In this episode, Amber shares her experience of healing very painful periods and depletion from many years of a vegetarian diet and pregnancy. Through the simplicity of prioritizing nourishing and ancestral foods, she found her path to vitality. Amber details what eating a nourishing diet looks like for her, and how her womb and overall health has shifted greatly since changing the way she eats. Amber talks about changing the narrative around loving, attachment parenting to also include letting our village support us. She also speaks to her Muslim faith, some of the misconceptions as she sees it, the elevation of women and mothers within Islam, and the sacred feminine element she centers within her faith.

Futurist Riane Eisler joins as our guest in this episode. In our conversation, we get into her primary body of work - partnership and dominator societies, and the flawed economic metrics we have been using like GDP, that fail to take our caring economy into account. We also touch on how our lack of knowledge of our lost feminine history is hurting us and how dichotomous thinking in today's society is holding us back. Listen for these topics and much more.

What if domination and abuse are so intertwined with our current culture that we end up accepting them as both natural and inevitable? On the latest episode, I explore these questions and much more with Karen Tate, host of the long-running Voices of the Sacred Feminine podcast and author of the new book, "Normalizing Abuse: A Commentary on the Culture of Abuse."

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Riane Eisler, bestselling author of The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics; The Chalice & the Blade; Nurturing Our Humanity; & The Power of Partnership. Riane recognizes, Our nation and our world are hungry for new ways of thinking. She sees opportunity for a sympathetic world by creating caring societies working through the economic system. And as long as caring is off the economic scale, it's not realistic to expect more caring government and business policies. Riane emphasizes bringing a new type of cooperation into politics. Partnership politics takes us outside the box of the conventional political conversation. Instead of arguing about religious versus secular, right versus left, Eastern versus Western, capitalist versus socialist, and so forth, we focus on the long-term policies foundational for the more peaceful, equitable, and environmentally sustainable world we all want and need. Join in the conversation!

As a holocaust survivor, Riane has witnessed both enormous violence, but also spiritual courage. It's not the courage that we are thought to think of, but the courage to stand up against injustice under love. Her experiences led her to ask questions that we are all asking today: does it have to be this way? Especially when we have such an enormous capacity for caring, consciousness, and creativity. Through her experience, humans were told that we are bad and that we must be rigidly controlled from the top; to instill a fear of God. We have not been told what to build to move to a more caring, sensitive, sustainable, and equitable place. Riane developed new categories through observation and research and what became clear is that for millennia, in our prehistory, humans' cultural direction is in the direction of the configuration of the partnership system, such as gender partnership and gender equity which are important pillars and components of that partnership system. For Riane, we are now in a time of reclamation and a tipping point, but the issue is which way will it tip? Riane Eisler, JD, PhD(h), is the recipient of many honors, such as the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award earlier given to the Dalai Lama, and internationally known for her groundbreaking contributions as a systems scientist, futurist, and cultural historian. She is author of many books, including The Chalice and the Blade, now in its 57th US printing and 27 foreign editions, The Real Wealth of Nations, hailed by Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu as "a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking," and Nurturing Our Humanity, Oxford University Press, 2019, co-authored with Douglas P. Fry.   Eisler's innovative whole-systems research offers new perspectives and practical tools for constructing a less violent, more egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable future. Eisler is President of the Center for Partnership Systems, which provides practical applications of her work, and Editor in Chief of the online Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies published at the University of Minnesota. She keynotes conferences worldwide, has taught at many universities, has written hundreds of articles and contributions to both scholarly and popular books, pioneered the application of human rights standards to women and children, has addressed the UN General Assembly, and consults to businesses and governments on the partnership model introduced by her work.

Hoy les quiero compartir algunas cuestiones sobre las sirenas, ya que estamos en temporada Piscis ♓️. Este es un episodio con mucho de mitología y cultura pop. - Refes: "El cáliz y la espada" de Riane Eisler (libro) "Ideologías animadas" de Juan Sklar (libro) "Cómo hacer un cuerpo en el arte" de Pablo Farneda (libro) "Jibaro" de Love, Death and Robots (serie) "Astrología para reencantar el mundo" (libro) "Alumbra la Luna" (libro) "Asuntos de Venus" (libro) - Música Alejandro Lafogiannis _ Contacto: hola@lugaitan.com www.lugaitan.com

What if the love we seek is right under our noses? What if most of we've been told about our sensuality is simply not true and that pleasure is is actually the fastest and most powerful way to embody love, gratitude, peace and compassion? What if we were able to do a little myth busting and explore our pleasure through a different, sacred lens? Who would we be? What would we create?The Goddess of Love; a sacred essence that lives in all of us and was once revered, then dethroned, has not been fully anchored and expressed on this planet for thousands of years. There were times in ancient human history when Venus (just one of Her many names) reigned supreme, pleasure was sacred and life was good, or at the very least way better. (Riane Eisler's book Sacred Pleasure dives deeply into this.)Since then, we've been fed a strong narrative that pleasure is hedonistic, selfish, taboo, dangerous and among many other things. Certainly not anything a "serious spiritual person" would pursue. This creates a lot imbalance and toxicity. We've seen this play out in so many spiritual institutions, including the yoga world. Denouncing sensuality and sexuality on the one hand, sexual abuse and scandal on the other. Or, as in some Tantra schools, applying a dominator, top down/ Guru approach to sacred sexuality(not what Venus is about at all!)  and creating its own flavor of imbalance, disfunction and abuse.I feel that if we truly want to move beyond the dominator systems that have wreaked havoc on the planet for thousands of years and to co-create a new world paradigm based in love, beauty and partnership, healing and embracing our sensuality is a great place to start. We need to stop kicking pleasure to the curb and start seeing it as a legit spiritual path. We need a direct experience of it. It's an inside job.The yoga of Venus is making a come back.We've got some myth busting to do.In this episode I riff on:Prevailing myths about sensuality that abound in pleasure-negative societiesWhy we all need mindset work around pleasureHow some popular spiritual leaders miss the mark on pleasureDemonizing and bypass in the spiritual development worldThe problem with denouncing pleasure, sensuality and desireHow sacred feminine principles get dissed in most spiritual workWhy embodiment is so keyHow embodied pleasure cultivates joy, peace, pleasure and loveHow pleasure is the ultimate spiritual hackPleasure as a pathPleasure and embodied loveA simple breath practice to embody your loveWant to dive deeper?Check out the Pleasure Queen Activation Meditation here (7 minutes)Join my free breathwork membership; Shakti Core Breathwork Journeys

In my podcast today I set the stage for this series by giving my observations about the current landscape of Christianity and why there is a new paradigm shift that's gaining significant energy and excitement as we move into the trans-religious era of history.  I'll also tell you a little about Riane Eisler, an amazing woman who is 91 years young and who has become known internationally for her work in Big History. It traces the history of Dominator Hierarchies and calls for a shift into Partnership Societies and families. Desmond Tutu said this about Riane's work, “ It's a template for the world we so urgently need. So why is Riane doing a podcast with Presence? And why are people from Quantum Physics, Psychology, Philosophy and many other fields now working with Presence? Listen to learn more.

In this Q&R episode Valerie asks CAROL LYNN PEARSON several tough questions from you listeners about how she has managed to navigate some of the thorniest topics in Mormondom. Perhaps the more challenging question she answers is how she navigates feeling congruent with herself as a contributing and lifelong member in a religious institution that struggles so much with issues of gender, patriarchy, control, and power.  One of the MANY nuggets of wisdom that she sharesis a plea for all of us to "BE BRAVE.  AND BE KIND."  She embodies both bravery and kindness in her entire life and legacy and invites us to do the same in our open, honest, struggle with the institution that is our home.  She also says, "If there is trouble in the family, we have the right to talk about it.  It is our home and our family."  God bless Carol Lynn.  Enjoy this episode!  Here are some of the books that most influenced Carol Lynn throughout her life: The Chalice and the Blade by Riane Eisler, The Creation of Patriarchy by Gerda Lerner, Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine by Joseph Campbell, The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, A Course in Miracles by The Foundation for Inner Peace.

We've been taught to believe that myths are untrue, yet this indicates how atrophied our cultural mythic imagination is. As a result, myth has been relegated to consumer entertainment or dismissed as irrelevant to us vs. a potent way to more deeply understand ourselves in reciprocal relationships with others and the world. Ours is a fact-based, linear, logical, and control-based culture that doesn't allow much room to follow the deep longing to know ourselves, and yet the longing persists and will continue to persist until we answer its call. Perhaps this time in our human evolution represents a heightened collective calling - can we answer it? In this episode, Ian and I talk about where we are as a culture and Ian's hope for awakening men worldwide. Ian became fascinated by the mythic masculine archetype when he initially learned more about the feminine through his film work. Ian was estranged from his grandfather growing up, but he went with his uncle to clean out his grandfather's home and came across a stack of books after his death. On top was "Iron John" by Robert Bly, which piqued his curiosity. When young men are not correctly initiated into adulthood and society, they become men at the mercy of their ego and are suspended as "boy-men" in our culture. The Dominator Culture is a term coined by Riane Eisler, who wrote The Chalice and The Blade. Eisler positions the dominator model in contrast to the partnership model, a more egalitarian structure of society founded on mutual respect among its inhabitants. In dominator culture, men rule over women, whereas partnership culture values men and women equally. An awakened archetypical mother is a mighty force in the world. Women tend to enact violence against themselves and Men against others. The narratives we often create are that the world is out to get us, that we need to conquer nature or anything threatening. The medical establishment creates a narrative around "war" - such as terms like "frontline workers" or "losing the battle to cancer," and there is a consequence to thinking about nature in this way. Our colonized view of the world keeps us from reciprocally engaging with life. The solutions mind is a colonized mind.

From the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall St, he has sought and amplified the voices of visionaries, artists, and activists working toward planetary system change.

I consider myself a life-long learner, so it means a lot when I say that Compassionate Communication or Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been one of the single most important practices I've learned. As my teacher, Steve Torma, puts it, Compassionate Communication isn't just a tool for communication but a shift in consciousness.    I've referred Compassionate Communication to clients of mine because it becomes a game-changer for ANY conversation or relationship. And today, we have the pleasure of hearing Steve Torma share more about Compassionate Communication and how it can benefit you and your relationships.  We discuss:  What Compassionate Communication or NVC is and some of its many benefits What violence looks like in conversations (it's not just physical!) How the “Dominator Culture” we're socialized in shows up in our self-talk and relationships  Why men will likely grieve differently from women The patterns/imbalances that may become prevalent in relationships between men and women How Compassionate Communication can help create inner peace, as well as bring empathy and healing to relationships    Steve Torma's Bio:  Steve (he/him) was born and raised on a family farm in Ashtabula, Ohio, and is a 25-year member of Earthaven Ecovillage. His ancestors are Hungarian and French Canadian.   Steve co-founded an intentional community in Ohio in 1980, where he lived until joining Earthaven Ecovillage in 1996. At Earthaven, he co-founded a thriving neighborhood, was president for three years, and has taught Nonviolent Communication for twelve years. In addition to his passion for community, Steve co-managed a natural foods co-op for 10 years, ran his own traveling bookstore business for over 20 years, and now teaches Nonviolent Communication and other relationship and community building skills through The REAL Center, which he co-founded in 2009.    As a lifelong peace, justice, and ecology educator and activist with over 40 years of community living, Steve has sought to integrate personal and social transformation in his own life, in the communities where he lives, and in the larger society. His passion for integral living and thinking has led him to study and experiment with a wide range of spiritualities, psychological systems, and social theories as they relate to creating a more just and sustainable world.   Steve has taught Nonviolent Communication for a variety of intentional communities, organizations, and regional gatherings, including Celo Community, The Mountain Retreat Center, Firefly Gathering, Southeast Permaculture Gathering, Organic Growers School, Kinnection Campout, LovEvolution Gathering, Compassion Camp, and many others.   Steve's Website: http://therealcenter.org/ Seve's Email: steve@therealcenter.org     The Resources We Reference: Book: The Chalice & The Blade by Riane Eisler: https://rianeeisler.com/the-chalice-and-the-blade-our-history-our-future/ Books: Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenburg (and related books through PuddleDancer Press): https://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/shop/  The Mankind Project: https://mankindproject.org/ NVC Asheville: https://www.nvcasheville.com/   Earthaven Ecovillage: https://www.earthaven.org/ —   If you're curious as to what support might look like for you on your journey, here are some next steps to explore: 1.

When young men are not properly initiated into adulthood and society, they become men at the mercy of their ego and are suspended as "boy-men” in our culture. The Dominator Culture is a term coined by Riane Eisler, who wrote The Chalice and The Blade. Eisler positions the dominator model in contrast to the partnership model, a more egalitarian structure of society founded on mutual respect among its inhabitants. In dominator culture, men rule over women, whereas partnership culture values men and women equally. An awakened archetypical mother is a very powerful force in the world. Women tend to enact violence against themselves and Men against others. The narratives we often create are that the world is out to get us or that we need to conquer nature or anything that threatens us. The medical establishment creates a narrative around “war” - such as terms like "front line workers” or “losing the battle to cancer,” and there is a consequence to thinking about nature in this way. Our colonized view of the world keeps us from reciprocally engaging with life. The solutions mind is a colonized mind.
