Episode Details

Am so delighted to welcome the Peace Begins at Home Summit Director, Gina Miltiadou, for Episode 81 of the Feel Better Every Day Podcast. Access full transcripts, links, show notes, and other resources at http://thefeelbettereverydaypodcast.com

The inaugural Peace Begins at Home Summit will take place on Wednesday, 29th October 2025 (and you can listen to the recordings for 30 days so don’t worry if you can’t make that day).

At a time of rising authoritarianism, climate crisis, and lost hope, the Summit combines lived testimony, research, and practical solutions to reclaim a culture of partnership.

Produced by the Center for Partnership Systems (CPS) and inspired by cultural historian Dr. Riane Eisler’s Partnership vs. Domination framework, the Summit reframes peace not as a distant ideal but as a systems challenge that begins where we live, love, and raise each other: In the home. Confirmed speakers include 26 leaders from 17 countries, among them:

• Dr. Riane Eisler – Holocaust survivor, cultural historian, systems scientist, and author of The Chalice and the Blade
• Ambassador Anwarul K. Chowdhury – Former UN Under-Secretary-General and champion of the culture of peace
• Dr. Richard Davidson – World-renowned neuroscientist and TIME 100 honoree
• Ela Gandhi – Global peace activist, women’s rights advocate and granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi
• Gary Barker & Jackson Katz – International pioneers in reshaping masculinity
• Angela Sterritt – Award-winning investigative journalist and author, serving as MC
