The Power of Partnership
What if there is a way to transform society and create a world that values caring, nature, and shared prosperity? The POP podcast brings you the voices of people who are doing just that - people who are applying the Partnership ethos, the ground-breaking alternative to Domination Systems that are the root of our most pressing challenges. The Partnership movement was pioneered by Riane Eisler, internationally acclaimed author of The Chalice and the Blade, Nurturing Our Humanity, Sacred Pleasures, Tomorrow's Children, The Real Wealth of Nations and many more! Each episode includes information about essential tools from the Center for Partnership Systems, and beyond, to move away from the domination paradigm and create a Partnership world!

We Are Nature: Partnership Tools for a Regenerative Future with Tom Mansfield
In this episode of The Power of Partnership Podcast, host Cherri Jacobs Pruitt is joined by Tom Mansfield—regenerative thinker, innovator, and creator of Cards for Life. Together, they explore how the principles of nature and the power of partnership can guide us through cycles of renewal, support cultural transformation, and spark innovation grounded in care and connection.
Tom shares the personal journey that led him to develop Cards for Life, a powerful tool being used by individuals, changemakers, educators, and organizations across the globe to reconnect with nature, foster systems thinking, and reimagine leadership and decision-making. Whether used for personal clarity, coaching, education, or collective transformation, his approach helps people align their inner work with the outer challenges we face.
This conversation touches on the rise of regenerative movements, the importance of decentralized leadership, and the urgent call to shift from domination to partnership—locally, globally, and within ourselves.
