How to navigate cultural appropriation concerns in interfaith body practices

Our meditation group includes people from Buddhist, Christian, and Indigenous traditions and we're having heated disagreements about whether certain breathwork and movement practices are appropriation or sharing — some feel excluded, others feel policed, and our practice space doesn't feel safe anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A spiritual community is fragmenting over questions of whose embodied practices belong to whom and how sacred traditions can be shared without being stolen.
