I did something similar. I have been attending classes to learn Qigong. The classes can be very "churchy" in my definition and I get to explore a tradition that I know is related to everything else like Reiki and Filipino psychic surgery and spoonbending and all sorts of cool stuff.

Some of the regulars who attend that class are more like me insofar as studying various things, but most of them are only into Qigong and their regular religion and/or church if they have one. One of the more advanced ones has, in my opinion, been duped by some of the woo woo nonsense that is out there but I can't prove it in cases where our respective research on some given subject is in conflict. Her logic is often not exactly sound on some of these things. Another one I met more recently is interesting. I probably should make an effort to reach out to her and see if she is interested in comparing notes.
