Scenario

When your closest friend joins a spiritual group that worries you

My best friend and I have been spiritual seekers together for fifteen years, but lately she's gotten into something that feels cultish to me and I'm watching her disappear into it. When I try to express concern, she says I'm not supporting her journey, and I don't know how to love her without enabling what scares me.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The sacred bond of spiritual companionship fractures when one friend's path leads toward what the other perceives as spiritual danger.
