Scenario

When spiritual study groups lose their original purpose over time

Our book club started as five friends wanting to grow together spiritually but three years in we've become this weird mix of therapy session and intellectual debate and nobody talks about what we actually came for anymore. I miss the vulnerability we used to have but I don't know if everyone else does or if this evolution is just what happens to groups like ours.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group's container has shifted away from its intended depth, leaving members unsure whether to reclaim the original intention or accept the change.
