When spiritual groups struggle with structure versus openness

Our meditation group started as a way to explore spirituality together outside of organized religion, but it's becoming clear that some of us are looking for something more structured and others want to keep it completely open-ended. The conversations about what we're actually doing together are getting tense and I'm worried we're going to lose something beautiful because we can't agree on what it should be.
