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)
