When spiritual practices create group hierarchy

Our friend group started doing ayahuasca ceremonies together two years ago and it was profound at first but now there's this weird hierarchy developing where some people act like they're more spiritually advanced and others are getting left behind and the whole dynamic feels unhealthy.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared spiritual seeking can generate competitive dynamics that contradict the very unity and humility the practices are meant to cultivate.
