What Town Hall attendees are saying:

“I am a Latín women, and I am committed to support this cause among my community.”

“Thank you so much for this valuable Town Hall conversation, love it!”

“This is our future way.”

“We have a choice—we can tell ourselves there’s nothing we can do to change policies that damage our environment, create huge gaps between haves and have-nots, and lead to untold suffering. Or we can together contract a saner more caring economics and culture.”

From the June 1, 2020 Live Twitter Feed: #Partnerism is a New System for Our Future

Dominating or being dominated are not the only options; the real alternative is #Partnership.

#Domination is NOT the answer; #Partnerism is.

Fear of the “other” is built into domination systems, starting with the in-group of “mankind” and the female “other”; it is NOT human nature. #RianeEislerTownHall

For 300 years progressive social movement mainly challenged traditions of domination in politics and economics; now we must go deeper, to the foundations on which domination systems rest, by changing domination and violence where children are first taught they are normal: childhood and gender relations. #Partnership

We are witnessing the erosion of America. 20% of our children live in #poverty. #PracticePartnership #DisruptDomination #RianeEislerTownHall #Partnerism

#TotalDomination is not the answer to the suffering and strife.

#Partnerism is a new system for our future. #CPS #Domination justifies inhumanity. #Partnership is the alternative which address the root issues and moves beyond short-term fixes.

A “normal” which includes child poverty, natural devastation, domination, inequality and injustice is not worth returning to. We have metrics to move us towards #Partnership –#SocialWealthIndex

Conventional economic thinking utterly omits the household and natural economies, the value of the work of care for people and the planet. #CaringEconomy #RianeEislerTownHall #Partnerism

#Partnerism starts in families, where hierarchies of domination are replaced with hierarchies of actualization, where power is used to empower rather than disempower. #RianeEislerTownHall

Without a solid foundation of partnerism between parents and children and men and women, we cannot make sustainable progress towards a healthier, equitable, and enduring society. #RianeEislerTownHall #Partnerismcultural

We invite you to be in conversation with us to build our new future fueled by #partnership via economic, social, and educational policy changes. #CPS #RianeEislerTownHall #Partnerism

Thanks to Valerie Young, CPS Social Media Manager, for facilitating the Twitter Live Feed.

The world is waking up to the ways in which healthy relationships equate to healthier bodies and brains, which in turn lead to healthier businesses, communities, and societies. And the great news is that both neuroscience and the relational sciences have revealed that better relationship skills can be taught and practiced at any age.

On January 16, 2020, Relationships First pioneers Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt joined Riane Eisler of the Center for Partnership Systems online for Safe Conversations in Action, the second in a series of webinars exploring a simple, step by step process for cultivating healthy, Partnership relationships.

Participants witnessed a live, real-time demonstration with Safe Conversations leaders Curtis Hill and Robyn Jardine, and learned how to talk and listen in ways that move us past entrenched differences and pave the way for social change.

Watch the video and invite a colleague, friend, or partner to practice together.
