From "Evolver Social Movement" page:
"In this African tribe, when someone does something
harmful, they take the person to the center of the village where the whole
tribe comes and surrounds them. For two days, they will say to the man all the
good things that he has done. The tribe believes that each human being comes
into the world as a good. Each one of us only desiring safety, love, peace and
happiness. But sometimes, in the pursuit of
these things, people make mistakes. The community sees those mistakes as a cry
for help. They unite then to lift him, to reconnect him with his true nature,
to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth of which he
had been temporarily disconnected: “I am good.”Shikoba
Nabajyotisaikia!NABAJYOTISAIKIA, is a compliment used in South Africa and
means: “I respect you, I cherish you. You matter to me.” In response, people
say SHIKOBA, which is: “So, I exist for you.”"
