Thinking about these public gathering rituals some more, I like the idea of having some way to deal with the fact that so many slaves have scars from serving people who were just frankly abusive, versus the fact that public discipline also would be a major part of this gathering.

For example it could start with those public professions of love and devotion. Often tailored by each slave, although dogeza would be the default. This would be followed immediately by public discipline, often even more tailored, for example mine could be given 20 lashes followed by running 20 laps around the hall because I believe her cocksucking has been slightly below grade, but if she refuses her public devotion ritual, then that punishment is also cancelled.

If any slaves refuses its customary to immediately begin to discuss it with everyone there after the discipline is finished. My slave could still be kneeling on the floor before me, staring up into my eyes likely crying really badly, but all of her best friends are there, Masters and slaves both. Her absolute bestie slave sister holding the drink she's made me off to the side, while her Master is also assisting in figuring out whatever issues we have.

It could be a wide variety of things, slavery is a intense lifestyle. The ways I am mean to her are starting to wear on her, and she feels like she needs more headpats and good girls than hard slaps and disdain. The fact that so many people, Masters and slaves both, want such a creatures life to be just eating sub standard gruel out of a bowl and sleeping on the hard floor will likely run into reality more than others. Only after a plan has been agreed to by all the Master's but also the slave in question would the gathering proceed.

Also public humiliation among all your friends is just fun. Imagine being stuck in a gibbet cage the entire gathering, but then being taken down only for slave relationship therapy, before being immediately thrown back in. Adorable.
