Periagoge
Scenario

When one person's spiritual intensity overwhelms group discussions

Our book club started as a way to explore spiritual texts together but one member keeps dominating discussions with her interpretations and when others offer different perspectives she becomes defensive and emotional. The rest of us don't know how to address it without losing her friendship but our shared exploration has become about managing her reactions.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The container meant to hold collective wisdom-seeking becomes distorted when one person's spiritual urgency crowds out the space for others to discover and share.
