Preliminary Summit Agenda Overview

October 29, 2025 | 13:00–19:00 UTC | Global Virtual Summit

What You’ll Experience

Be part of a powerful global broadcast where trauma survivors, peacebuilders, and leading scientists reveal how the patterns we learn at home shape the systems we live in, and how shifting from domination to partnership can transform everything.

The Peace Begins at Home Summit weaves together keynote talks, personal stories, TED-style insights, interactive reflections, and real-world solutions, all in one urgent, transformative experience.

Opening & Keynote

Our MCs open the summit and set the tone, followed by a grounding reflection from peace-pilgrim Satish Kumar.
Then, Dr. Riane Eisler delivers a powerful keynote on why the
roots of violence — and the seeds of peace — begin at home.

Framing the Challenge

Real stories, lived experience, Indigenous wisdom, and key insights from neuroscience reveal how cycles of violence take root — and how we can interrupt them.

Rewriting & Rewiring the Systems

TED-style talks from global thought leaders re-imagining the systems we live in: Family & Childhood | Gender Relationships | Economics & Care | Media & Culture | War & Conflict | Nature & Environment | Business & Tech for Good.

Solutions Showcase

A high-impact panel featuring proven, real-world, replicable models from around the world — highlighting community-based peacebuilding, trauma-informed systems, and social innovation.

Voices of the Future

Hear from young global activists as they share bold, unscripted reflections — offering a call to their peers and elders for courage, urgency, and partnership in building a more peaceful world.

Closing & Performance

We close by drawing together the day’s insights, outlining next steps, and inviting participants to carry this work into their communities. A final artistic offering brings the experience to a meaningful and memorable close.

Please note that this is a preliminary agenda.
Final timings and full speaker list will be announced

  • “This summit is not just about ending violence. It’s about reimagining systems — from families to nations — where partnership, not domination, defines our relationships.”

    Dr. Riane Eisler

  • “I learned nonviolence and peace from my parents — not just through words, but through how they lived. What we absorb in our early years shapes who we become, which is why peace truly begins at home.”
