Scenario

When spiritual discussion groups become defensive rather than exploratory

Our book club has been meeting for three years to discuss spiritual texts but lately every conversation turns into people defending their own beliefs instead of exploring ideas together and I don't know how to get us back to genuine curiosity. We've become a debate society when we used to be seekers.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The safety needed for genuine inquiry has been replaced by the need to be right.
