Scenario

When spiritual study groups become performative rather than transformative

Our book club started as five friends wanting to read spiritual texts together but it's become this weird competitive thing where people show off their insights and I think we've lost the actual contemplative part, but I don't know how to bring it up without sounding like I'm criticizing everyone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A practice intended for collective growth has become distorted by ego dynamics that everyone senses but no one addresses.
