Ceremonies and rituals: Families and communities may hold songs, dances, prayers, feasts, or other ceremonies. Circumcision: The physical procedure may be performed according to the community's traditional practices. Seclusion or recovery: In some traditions, initiates spend time away from ordinary community life while recovering and learning. Return to the community: The initiate may be publicly recognized as having reached a new stage of life.
