Scenario

When alternative spiritual communities recreate the problems they sought to escape

Our small faith community started as a refuge from institutional religion but now we're facing the same power dynamics and interpersonal conflicts that drove us away in the first place and I'm wondering if there's something about gathering in the name of the sacred that inevitably leads to these patterns.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Even the most intentional attempts to create sacred community can become entangled in the very human patterns you hoped to transcend.
