New Mod Buddy scheme for Sharing Circle hosts!

@Lou73

Thank you for sharing this! I look forward to seeing this new scheme in place, I really hope it helps make sharing circle a supported environment for all 💛

Thank you @LlamaLizz :)

Great idea!

I wonder how to get more interest in this idea? It's really a great concept. Perhaps if more people were clamoring to host, then mod buddies might step up. Or maybe mod buddies might be recruited from college students seeking credits for group work, as in offering a certain number of Academy credits for participating in group facilitation. I'm not sure what would make this option attractive to someone who was seeking having more experience in helping facilitate in a group setting. I know what motivated me was a sort of inspired vision as it were of Sharing Circles being some sort of solution to the lack of attentive listening in our society, even if for only up to 7 minutes and the potential for groups to have more of a sense of community than 1:1 sharing/listening dyad. I wonder if Psychology students or others might be interested through their studies in the group model. These are just thoughts off the top of my head.

@Lou73 - hi Lou :) I just wanted to say I think this is a very good idea to help out the hosts. Especially as some hours of the day or week are SOOO busy!

Also I decided to write you a message because I love <3 love the doggos! #DoggoHugs #FreeHugTime #BestBuddys Yay, dogs rule! hehe <3 Platy

Aww thanks so much @cyanPlatypus6370, it's such a cute gif 🥰

@cyanPlatypus6370

Hey there, Platy! I haven't seen you around in ages. It's good to see you again.

@GoldenNest2727

Nest? Can that really be you?! Hi :) and Happy Easter!!! (offers hug) <3 Platy

It's a great idea, Lou73! I hope there's enough interest to sustain the program.

Thanks @GoldenNest2727 it would be great if we could get some volunteers for this :)

@Lou73 double check your tag list... 😛 I wasn't on it... mod and host for sc here.

@richuyulin this tag list was correct at time of posting but I will add any new or returning mods in the newbie hub :) thanks for all your hosting and mod support in SC, it's greatly appreciated <3

Awesome idea. That would help us out sooooooo much. It would make coming off a self care break so much easier for me because it won't be as stressful to host. I love our mods. I'd love to work with one. Congratulations 🎊 on whoever came up with this idea. Yay. Huge hugs 🤗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤗

Aww @Cancun, I will do my best to find you a mod buddy so you can feel better about returning from your self-care break <3

If anyone is interested in supporting Cancun at 10pm ET Mon-Fri please comment below :)

@Lou73

Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. 🤗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤗

@Cancun

Oh my gosh, I love you Cancun, but I am snoring at that time (reported from a reliable source). I really hope one of our "night birds" can be your Buddy Mod! I so love this concept and I really think it could help people who bravely step forward to host, feel more comfortable and safe and secure.

@VioletVeritas

Violet I love you too. We'd make a killer team. I am snoring when your hosting. Lol OK one of us has to move. 🤷‍♀️ I look forward to waking up way before sunrise to see you host again. Hugest hugs ever 🤗❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤗
