Scenario

When exploring sleep traditions becomes competitive in friend groups

Our friend group has been doing this monthly sleep retreat thing where we all try different traditional practices — Ayurvedic, Chinese medicine, indigenous dreamwork — but it's become competitive and weird, with people claiming their tradition is more authentic or effective. What started as genuine curiosity about different cultural approaches to sleep has turned into spiritual one-upping.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Genuine interest in diverse wisdom traditions has devolved into cultural appropriation and spiritual competition.
