Rumi›Afro-diasporic traditions — Vodou Candomblé Santería
When spiritual groups become echo chambers instead of truth-seeking communities
“Our meditation group started as a way to explore spirituality together but it's turned into an echo chamber where anyone who questions the teachings gets subtle pressure to conform. We're supposed to be seeking truth but it feels like we're just reinforcing each other's certainties.”
The deeper question
A group gathered in pursuit of wisdom discovers they have traded inquiry for the comfort of agreement.
Concept: authentic inquiry
