In the Chalice and the Blade, Riane Eisler provides a compelling story of our cultural origins that incorporates both the female and male halves of our humanity. This story provides verification that a better future - a Partnership-based future - is possible. In this episode, Lyla June, an Indigenous musician, scholar, and community organizer of Diné (Navajo), Tsétsêhéstâhese (Cheyenne), and European lineages, explores this history as it relates to both environmental sustainability and our relationships with ourselves, other humans, and the planet on which we live.
