Scenario

When informal spiritual communities face questions of definition

Our neighborhood started having monthly gatherings during lockdown that became surprisingly meaningful and spiritual for many of us but now some people want to make it more explicitly religious while others value the inclusive, undefined quality it has. We're all attached to what we've created together but pulling in different directions about what it should become and afraid of losing what we've found.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group that found the sacred in their togetherness must now decide whether naming and structuring that experience will deepen it or destroy it.
