What if there is a way to transform society and create a more caring, equitable, and connected world? The POP podcast brings you the people who are doing just that: people who are helping build a world that values caring, nature, and shared prosperity. They are applying the Partnership ethos, the ground-breaking alternative to Domination Systems that are at the root of our most pressing challenges.
In these interviews, you will hear how the Partnership ethos is being used to grapple with relationships, parenting, gendered stereotypes, community inequities, economic and environmental complexities - and our internalized narratives.
The POP podcast is brought to you by the Center for Partnership Systems, and made possible, in part, with funding by the Mustardseed Trust: a small charity with a big vision: A world in which all beings live in partnership with the web of life for all to thrive.
