From the DC Code Pink Blog:
Later, in the evening activist, scholar, and writer Riane Eisler arrived and spoke to us after dinner about her philosophy of changing the language from domination to partnership. Riane also generously donated her book The Real Wealth of Nations. She gave us the gift of the tool of knowledge to put forth to action. Riane told us that with our creative and active group she hoped she could contribute through inspiring future actions and would love to hear about them if she did. The group all engaged in a lively conversation following her talk.
My circle sister N. and I debated going to this potluck and decided we were too busy. I would chew off my left arm to meet Eisler, who is one of my true heras.
Shit. I cannot believe that I missed the chance to meet her! Shit!

Two of my favorite books of all time are Riane Eisler's "The Chalice and the Blade" and "The Partnership Way." Nearly 20 years ago, when the books came out, I joined a study group on Partnership ideas and enjoyed learning about her ideas. I'm glad she's still actively pursuing her philosophy.
Dear new friends of www.futureprimitive.org
Another great interview-podcast. This time a conversation with Riane Eisler,
