All that’s laid out in this website is a Paradigm Shift, a fundamental system change, out of patriarchy, into a culture based on a different set of values.
Why is it important to think of it as a complete system change?
When we see the two systems are based on very different patterns, we have a clear map. We can use the map for anything we wish to create.
We can identify ways of doing things that we want to leave behind, and ways of doing things that would create a healthy world. They are based on different underlying values.
Hearts’ Ecosystem
this is my drawing of a Hearts’ Ecosystem. Each heart is a person with animals indicating aspects of their personality. It sums up the general pattern.
various people have been working with it as:
ecofeminism,
matriarchy
social permaculture
spiritual permaculture
partnership
maternal gift economy
great turning
Here is my drawing of the hierarchy of values in patriarchy.
Please remember, this is values that are associated with men in that system. It is NOT about what men naturally are. Far from it. Or women. Patriarchy has extreme stereotypes for men and women. All of us are much bigger and more beautiful than that.
