Help us Host More Sessions! -- Available Hosting Opportunities

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. As you all know we run different types of sessions and discussions in the community every day, week, and month. But, to sustain and keep these sessions running consistently, we need more help.

I was wondering if you would be interested in helping us host these sessions to support more members? If so, then please check below some of the session types which require a host. We would really appreciate it.

Sharing Circle

They are meetings that have a unique structure that mimics the environment of group listening. Instead of talking all at once, randomly, or waiting for the host to finish asking questions, everyone gets a turn to speak and share their feelings. This will go on until the queue is empty. Once the person speaking is done, everyone else can offer words of encouragement and praise.

Project Well Being

The workshop will be over 5 days at a specific time where every day we will be covering one key topic to get better at managing our well-being. The session will be divided into two parts - Information & Activity! Under information, the host will be sharing brief information about the topic and then share a small activity for all to do as a group in a turn-based setting!

Listener Sharing Circle

The purpose of the listener sharing circle is for listeners to address their listener journey in a group setting where they can have the time to share in a time frame with no interruptions. As listeners, we can learn from one another and support, encourage, and congratulate them on their journey. We may share achievements, challenges, events/roles we’re a part of, or thoughts. The requirements you must have in order to be a listener sharing circle host are to be a verified listener and to have the Light Chat badge on your profile. If you are not a verified listener, you can apply and have a mock chat scheduled. The Light Chat badge is given once you have sent 200 messages in the listener chat rooms. Once you meet these requirements, you will be considered for the hosting role of LSC.

Pop-Up Discussions

Pop-up discussions last for 30 minutes. During this time, we discuss a topic that typically revolves around positivity, support, or something fun. These are unscheduled chats and are announced in rooms 5-10 minutes before they start. So, hosts can start hosting whenever they have spare time. Hosts can choose to host on any guided or unguided topics from the list. No minimum requirements to become a host. Anyone can step up to be a host with the help of a Mod and/or a Doorkeeper.
