Peggy .... invocation, most interesting. In my study of Ho'oponopono, the indigenous form of restorative justice in Hawaii, I was privileged to see a glimmer of the success of circle work. Those in the circle, through choosing to come together in conversation around a conflicted issue, move to a quicker energetic vibration. There is an understanding of the space as sacred, the opening is seen as a bridge for those in the circle and Aumakua (higher self) to a new, collective understanding. The closing prayer is seen as a bridge to those in the circle in service to others, an understanding that we have moved to a new place, and deep gratitude to the spirit in all.
