On October 3rd, 2018 the webinar “Power With and Power Through: How Women Are Leading Differently for a Just and Caring World” with Jamia Wilson, Carla Goldstein and Riane Eisler was an informative and empowering dialog on the transformational possibilities of women’s leadership.

We can only build a more just and caring world if we enact leadership in ways that cultivate partnership rather than domination. But what does it really look like to “do power differently”? How do we support one another in asserting and implementing bold visions grounded in the life-giving values of care, mutuality, diversity, and creativity? Tune in below and be inspired!

After centuries of domination-style leadership, re-claiming the value of women and the Feminine is the essential work of our time. In this interactive online event, groundbreaking author and women’s rights activist Riane Eisler talks with author/activist/storyteller Jamia Wilson, ED of the Feminist Press and a powerful voice on feminist and women’s rights issues, and Carla Goldstein, cofounder of the Omega Women’s Leadership Center.

These three powerful leaders share provocative perspectives on how to transform the ways we express power and re-cast our notions of leadership itself. Eisler, Wilson, and Goldstein help us think more expansively and imaginatively about issues like:

• How do we support one another in asserting and implementing bold visions grounded in the life-supporting values of care, mutuality, diversity, and creativity?
• How do we act together in ways that honor and respect the full complexity of one another’s identities, experiences, histories and perspectives?
• How do we bring about a cultural transformation from domination to partnership?
• How do we recognize and call out languages and practices that help maintain systems of domination?
• What are restorative practices that can help us re-inhabit an integrated way of being and knowing that includes mind, body, and intuition?
• How do we stay connected to the sustainable sources of energy and courage we need to undertake the challenging, long-haul work of making the world anew?

People of all genders who care about building a partnership world won’t want to miss this inspiring and provocative conversation. 

Hosted by the Center for Partnership Studies.

CPS’ September 20, 2018 webinar, Behind Our Gender Masks: Empowering Young Women and Men to Express their Full Humanity, proved to be a powerful and engaging conversation. This in-depth dialog explores practical strategies for shaping the future of femininity and masculinity in the era of #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, and #NeverAgain.

Gender equality pioneer Riane Eisler brings together two powerful leaders in the movement to help young people break through damaging old gender assumptions and claim powerful voices and authentic lives. Brie Mathers of Love the Skin You’re In, and Ashanti Branch of Ever Forward share how they are creating the foundations for a partnership society by empowering our daughters and sons to express their full humanity.

Hear what people are saying about this webinar:

“Awesome presentation- so honored to be included. Thank you!”

“Thank you to all of you for your most inspirational and important work.”

“THANK YOU!! Great human to human connections through this event!”

“As a parent and professional- Thank you! Great work! Can’t wait to share it!”

Today’s young women and young men have an unprecedented opportunity to step out from behind the gender masks that have limited the range of “acceptable” expression and contribute the best of who they are to the healing and evolution of our society. How can we help them seize that opportunity?

How do we support young women in rejecting visions of womanhood that equate ‘femininity’ with subservience, devaluation, and sexualization? And how do we call young men into a vision of manhood that incorporates caring, creativity, and mutual respect as key markers of “masculinity”?

“Look inside your heart, not your mirror.” – young woman student, Coldwater Public School, Ontario, Canada

Riane Eisler of the Center for Partnership Studies talks with special guests Brie Mathers and Ashanti Branch about the educational and organizing strategies they are using to make a powerful difference in the lives of young people.

They address the real challenges young women and men are facing today, and ways we can all support the work of un-doing the gender norms that help maintain domination systems. Educators, mentors, parents, grandparents, and all of us who care about building a partnership world won’t want to miss this inspiring and provocative conversation.
