Scenario

When a spiritual community becomes performative

Our friend group has been meeting monthly for deep conversations for two years, but lately it feels like we're all performing vulnerability instead of actually being vulnerable, and I think we've created this weird pressure to always have something profound to share. I don't know how to bring this up without sounding like I'm criticizing everyone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group seeking authentic connection has unconsciously created conditions that reward the appearance of depth over genuine presence.
