Scenario

When spiritual groups become rigid and judgmental

Our meditation group started as a way to explore spirituality together, but one person has become increasingly rigid about 'the right way' to practice and it's making the rest of us feel judged and unwelcome. We don't want to exclude anyone, but the dynamic is killing what used to be a supportive space for questioning and growth.

More people experience this than they realize.
