Turner first describes communitas as a "commonness of feeling" between to group of individuals. This is probably the most general sense of the term, for it can also be described as the unplanned bonding of and constant association of a group of individuals in which they share common emotions and draw from each others experiences and feelings. whew. I experienced communitas myself when I went to a religious camp as a child. For a week we slept out in the woods in massive Tipis. Some of the guys felt uncomfortable about sleeping next to 8 other guys at close proximity in a tipi in the woods, but after a few days we all felt more comfortable. Our experiences in the wilderness, cooking food over a fire and hiking miles a day, brought us together and made us almost like a family. We were experiencing communitas.
