Course Description: Riane Eisler in her book, The Chalice And The Blade, noted a time when human beings were not engaged in violence or wars, or struggles for survival against each other. She spoke of this as a partnership society instead of a dominator society. In a dominator society, like ours, one's worth often comes from power-over someone or something else. This mentality, the dominator mentality, has crept into almost every institution and mindset throughout the world. We will explore the roots of the dominator mentality and how we can heal ourselves and the society in a Partnership Group. This type of group is somewhat like a men's or women's group except it includes all genders and orientations.
