Video with Riane Eisler, Anwulika Okonjo on Wednesday 14th September 2022

Ahead of advaya’s upcoming online course Women and Power: Reclaiming & Reimagining Power in the World Today, host Anwulika Okonjo speaks with Riane Eisler, a social systems scientist, cultural historian, futurist and attorney whose research, writing and speaking has transformed millions. Known for her work in advancing for partnership-based societies, and diagnosing our crises as a result of a power-over paradigm, Riane will lead the opening session of our course.

In this conversation with Riane, we explored her academic approach, the key findings of her famous book The Chalice and the Blade, the myth of war as human nature, transcending binary thinking and understanding the power-over paradigm and how we transform it, and more.
