Relationship Mediation
What is a Mbongi?
A Mbongi (pronounced Bone-gee) is a word from the Congo which means “learning circle” or “learning place.”
Relationship Mbongis are mediation sessions. People come together to identify, discuss and reach mutual agreements on personal and communal matters of interest. The matters discussed affect and impact everyone involved.
