Scenario

When longtime spiritual friendships start feeling distant

My best friend and I have been praying together for fifteen years and lately when we sit in silence I feel like we're in completely different rooms and I don't know if she feels it too or if it's just me pulling away from something that used to feel like home.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who have shared sacred practice are experiencing the slow dissolution of spiritual intimacy without knowing how to name or address it.
