How to revive authentic connection in long-term friend groups

Our book club started five years ago as close friends wanting to go deeper together but lately it feels like we're just performing intellectual conversation while avoiding anything that might reveal who we actually are. I miss the intimacy we used to have but I don't know how to get back there or even if everyone else wants to.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group has unconsciously chosen safety over depth and lost track of how to choose vulnerability.
