When a member of a community behaves in ways disruptive to that 
community, the whole group gathers and encircles the person who is 
isolated alone in the center.  Then each person in the community 
states what is positive about the person, true, accurate reflections 
of the persons attributes that are appreciated.  The rounds continue 
'til everyone's memory is exhausted, every positive contribution 
noted.  Finally, the person is welcomed back to the group and there 
is celebration, music and dancing.

(This is a tribal tradition that Peace Pilgrim noted in her 
journal.  I don't have any more details.  Sylvia)
