When meditation groups encounter unexpected trauma sharing

Our meditation group had someone share something really traumatic during sitting and we all froze and didn't know how to respond and now no one wants to come back because we don't know if we're equipped to handle what comes up in silence.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sacred silence opens a door that reveals how unprepared a community is to hold the depths of human suffering that contemplative practice can unearth.
