Hello all, What a juicy line of conversation. If we are, as Lisa mentioned, a Learning Community — is there not space enough for all to place thoughts in the circle for examination? Space for the cosmic mirror to reflect back to us unexposed parts of ourselves? One of my passions is exploring and studying indigenous forms of restorative justice. The two words "old ways" also "touched" a spot in me that wanted to rise up and defend the experience I have had of some of the "old ways" — and how truly beautiful they work in communities.
Thank you for all the sharing..... Judi
