In this conversation with the cross cultural, multi disciplinary legend Dr Riane Eisler, we explore both the personal and collective systems relevant to the paradigm of patriarchal sex. As a true elder of our times, she speaks on how matriarchy is in fact not the opposite to patriarchy, the eroticization of domination, the current regression and more. Riane says the goal is not to go back in time, but to move forward with a new narrative for sex and intimate relating - beyond the domination model. And this is exactly the angle of the Beyond Patriarchal Sx project, to reimagine the new way forward for women and men together.

BIO

Riane Eisler, JD, PhD(h), is the recipient of many honors, such as the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award earlier given to the Dalai Lama, and internationally known for her groundbreaking contributions as a systems scientist, futurist, and cultural historian. She is author of many books, including The Chalice and the Blade, now in its 57th US printing and 27 foreign editions, The Real Wealth of Nations, hailed by Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu as "a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking," and Nurturing Our Humanity, Oxford University Press, 2019, co-authored with Douglas P. Fry.

Eisler’s innovative whole-systems research offers new perspectives and practical tools for constructing a less violent, more egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable future. Eisler is President of the Center for Partnership Systems (CPS), which provides practical applications of her work, and Editor in Chief of the online Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies published at the University of Minnesota.

She keynotes conferences worldwide, has taught at many universities, has written hundreds of articles and contributions to both scholarly and popular books, pioneered the application of human rights standards to women and children, has addressed the UN General Assembly, and consults to businesses and governments on the partnership model introduced by her work.

A woman's conditioning to want what she wants rather than to actually have it, is behind the typical scenario Eli Block describes as 'trying to eat the menu'. The way this contributes to the overcompensatory behaviours that both women and men play out, is part of the individual journey to liberation from collective suffering.

Women do hold the power to collapse the patriarchal sex paradigm, and that outcome is very much for the benefit of men too. Listen to this episode if you want to feed the hunger that generates the necessary desire, for women to find their rightful place as embodied women.

Eli Block is in Senior Faculty at the Eros Platform. He is a Teacher of Eros Philosophy and OM. Eli blends meditation, awareness, and erotic intelligence to help people reconnect with what’s real and alive in them. He has been immersed in spiritual practices since a young age, having been raised by a monk and a therapist. Eli has been mentored by Nicole Daedone for the past 16 years and loves dynamic exploration of the erotic.

The inner work of restoring the Madonna/ Whore complex in women, is what we explore in the flowing conversation of this episode. The developing standards for women after the free love phase of growth, and the evolutionary possibility of sacred union that exists beyond it; describes where many spiritual women are currently. We discuss how sometimes there is misunderstanding on the learning/ remembering journey - especially where women are mistaking submission for devotion, as they calibrate to a more ancient time of temples dedicated to female sexual initiation for inspiration. And it's all part of the process to discover how women contribute to the patriarchal sx paradigm.

Today's guest Arivind Abraham openly shares inside this episode, his own realizations of unlearning patriarchy in relationships, offering a beautiful reorientation for men to connect with their own higher aspirations that are not often reflected in the culture.

Ari's Bio

Ari Arivind always felt a deep connection to the dead from a young age. Decades later, through the endings of two profound relationships and the death of a loved one, he was initiated into his purpose: to serve as a ferryman for those seeking guidance through their own passages at the crossroads.

Rooted in ongoing study of Tibetan Buddhist traditions, his maternal lineage’s ancestral relationship with Kali Amman, and a life lived across three continents, his work ferries others through the liminal spaces of grief, death, and rebirth. Using ritual and embodied practice, he bridges the spiritual and the tangible—helping anchor the sacred into the everyday rhythms of relationship and life. Ari's path has been shaped and supported by his guides, Amir Khalighi of Embodied Masculine and Kai Karrel of the Umbandaime Church of Celestial Heart.

Diana Richardson has been teaching making love retreats in Europe with her partner for 30 years. As an accomplished Author and Tantric Teacher, she talks about the male orientated approach to s*x people typically experience, which isn't about creating actual connection between men and women's bodies. And the 'pleasing' response in women, which is about the need to get love and the fear of losing love. She shares how lack of education is the issue, along with little attention on the female experience. Diana guides the journey of sensation to sensitivity, so people can feel real energy in their bodies. In this episode we talked about how seeing s*x as stress release is an issue in relationships, how to experience the tantric approach, and more.

BIO

Diana Richardson is one of the world’s leading voices on conscious sexuality and the pioneer of the “slow sex” movement. For over 35 years, she has guided thousands of couples to reconnect emotionally and physically through her transformative Making Love Retreats and bestselling books, including The Heart of Tantric Sex, Slow Sex, and Tantric Orgasm for Women. Diana’s approach invites us to shift from performance-driven sex to deep, mindful intimacy, a path to healing, joy, and true connection.
