When your friend joins a spiritual group that worries you

My closest friend from childhood has been going through what she calls a spiritual awakening but what looks to me like she's being pulled into something manipulative, and I don't know how to express my concern without losing her entirely. Every conversation now feels like I'm either lying by staying silent or attacking something sacred to her.
