Scenario

When a friend's spiritual beliefs include ideas that divide the group

My three closest friends and I have been meeting monthly for years to talk about life and meaning but one of them has started bringing up conspiracy theories that feel tied to her spiritual beliefs. We love her but these conversations are becoming painful and we don't know whether to confront it or let the group dissolve.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A circle of trust must decide whether unconditional acceptance includes accepting ideas that threaten the group's cohesion.
