Scenario

When spiritual groups lose intimacy through expansion

Our book club was reading spiritual texts and becoming something beautiful but then someone invited their pastor and now the conversations feel performative and careful instead of honest. We're all being polite but the magic is gone and I don't know how to get it back without hurting feelings.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sacred vulnerability requires careful tending, and the wrong presence at the wrong time can scatter what took months to cultivate.
