Are you familiar with Riane Eisler's work?

Here is her wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riane_Eisler

I've followed her for decades, since reading her first book The Chalice and The Blade, and more recently The Real Wealth of Nations.

I joined her Caring Economy Campaign and have been following, and am now taking a leadership course designed to facilitate discussion about a new economy, a more caring economy.

ABOUT:We invite you to join the Caring Economy Campaign to lay the foundations for a more just, sustainable, and caring economy and world. Caring Counts: For People, Prosperity, and the Planet

The real wealth of our nation, and our world, is not financial: Our real wealth consists of the contributions of people and nature. Nations that support the work of caregiving – by offering caregiver tax-credits, publicly funded child and elder care, and paid parental leave –consistently rank high in both UN Human Development Reports and World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Reports. When the importance of caregiving is recognized and supported, citizens are happier and healthier, and society is more economically secure. Success in the world and a good quality of life for our nation’s citizens require economic practices, policies, and measurements that give visibility and value to the most essential human work - the work of caring for people, starting in early childhood. The Caring Economy Campaign will make our nation, and our world, better.

Those who are set up to have a video chat, preferably. A date and time can be decided once I know who all is interested.[/font]

2. I am interested, but

I don't have the tech... and I know this next week is going to be a blur for me as we get ready to send my daughter off for a year in Thailand. (She landed a great job teaching English at the Chitralada Palace School in Bangkok.) For me to commit to anything else right now would be foolish, I know. She flies out Friday night from San Francisco with the rest of her team. But I've been a Riane Eisler fan for many years now, and am interested, so please let me know how it goes!
