When spiritual practices with friends lose their sacred quality

My hiking partner and I used to experience something transcendent together on the trail but lately she's been talking nonstop the whole time and I'm losing the meditative quality that made our walks sacred but I don't know how to ask for silence without hurting her feelings.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared spiritual practice requires spoken and unspoken agreements that can shift without notice.
