Peers
Peers: are produced by a nexus of caring. No hierarchy of authority here. To be sure there is authority, and power, and knowledge, and leadership in the circle—but each arise in situ, from the people there as needed—ad hoc.

Peers: discovering what we used to miss, what we did not hear for the din.
Peers: valuing, valuing each one, valuing the group, valuing diversity.
