Our meditation group has one member who dominates every sharing circle with long personal stories and another who barely speaks and we're all getting frustrated but nobody wants to hurt anyone's feelings. The silence is getting uncomfortable and the talking is getting overwhelming and we're losing the peaceful container we came together to create.
More people experience this than they realize.
The delicate dance of shared contemplative space requires navigating different needs for expression and silence without breaking the sacred container.
