The Peace Begins at Home Handbook is a free 138-page guide to building partnership in families, communities, and systems, drawn from 26 speakers across 17 countries. Curated, written, and produced by Gina Miltiadou and grounded in Dr. Riane Eisler’s Partnership vs. Domination framework, the handbook translates Summit insights into practical tools for parents, educators, community leaders, and policymakers working to build a more peaceful world—starting at home. Organized in three parts, it moves from the intellectual foundation of Eisler’s Four Cornerstones through evidence and replicable models proving partnership works, to concrete actions and resources for continued learning in reading groups, classrooms, and organizations.
Why it matters: The Handbook makes the connection between how we raise children and whether societies lean toward domination or partnership—and provides practical tools for anyone ready to do something about it. By synthesizing voices from 17 countries into actionable guidance, the handbook demonstrates that partnership-based approaches are not abstract ideals but proven models already working around the world. Free to download with no sign-up required, it meets people where they are: parents wanting to raise children differently, educators seeking new approaches, policymakers shaping family and gender policy, and anyone who has experienced domination and is looking for a different way forward.
