Exploration Garden: New Rules to Foster a More Focused Exploration Environment
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 3 days ago
...See more Hello everyone,  Exploration Garden (EG) group chat was introduced in July 2023 [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/CommunityManagersOffice_2008/Introducing7CupsExplorationGarden_309812/] as an extended version of the Sharing Circle. Since then, EG has undergone multiple iterations and changes to improve it for everyone This post will share the next changes and updates regarding the Exploration Garden group chat.  We want to emphasize the key distinction between the Sharing Circle and Exploration Garden:  Sharing Circle [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/MemberSharingCircles_2109/7CupsSharingCirclesarenowLIVE_218662/]is a space to share with others primarily, here you can vent, get validation, and express your thoughts/feelings/experiences to share those with others. The exploration garden [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/CommunityManagersOffice_2008/Introducing7CupsExplorationGarden_309812/] by contrast is not so much a place to share, but rather a place to gain assistance in exploring our thoughts/feelings/experiences, here we are trying to learn and explore, seeking new perspectives, new understandings, and deeper meanings. Based on the feedback received from the community and observations of trends within the group chat, we are rolling out the following changes to promote and foster an exploration environment in the EG.   1. EG will only be open when a facilitator is present. Without facilitation, the sessions tend to get off track, and unable to keep up with the guidelines for running an effective exploration session. Here is the updated schedule of the Exploration Garden session:  * Host-L stands for assigned listener host  * Host-M stands for covered by community mod * Red rows represent no coverage at the moment, so no session will take place during these hours until we onboard new hosts to lead those hours.  2.  Releasing an exploration guide for participants to understand how effective exploration works, the DOs and DONTs, Tips to get the most out of the session, and how to offer support to the sharers. Click here to access a copy of the exploration guide.  [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cMu6p6eSrlqV3StpeY4SX4MRBsBdCPwhRiU_pKvRSZI/edit] 3. If you want to join the Exploration Garden Hosting Team, you can now express your interest by filling out a short form here!  [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScjtDkb4M8XXOZMh1ClAoo-ZYq5fNPohtB1MwxXozv2d4p04A/viewform] The new changes will be implemented w.e.f Sept 20, 2024.  If you have any questions, please feel free to share with us below in the thread or reach out to @Heather225 or me aka @ASilentObserver

Wellness Accountability Huddles: Apply Now!

 September 26th
...See more Ready to Transform Your Wellness with Accountability? Setting specific health and wellness goals is an effective way to improve your physical and mental wellbeing. These can include goals like exercising regularly, eating more vegetables, drinking more water, or finding time for mindfulness. Having a defined time frame adds structure, helping you stay focused and committed as you work toward achieving these goals. Ask yourself right now: what do you want to improve on in your life? Tips to Make Your Wellness Goals Easy to Track and Follow Through With: * Make your goal specific and measurable. For example, "do 30 minutes of exercise each day" or "read 1 chapter of my book each day". Specific and measurable goals are easier to track. * Keep it simple! Avoid overwhelming yourself by starting small. Committing to 1-3 daily tasks can make it more manageable and sustainable. Now, how does this apply to 7 Cups, and being accountable? You’re much more likely to succeed when you share your progress with others, and that’s where our Wellness Accountability Huddles come in. A Huddle is a group chat where the same participants meet up regularly to chat about common issues/interests in order to learn more about and deeply explore them. Our Huddles take place inside the 7 Cups group chat system and aim to provide groups of users continuous support and social connection. We are excited to launch Wellness Accountability Huddles. The Huddle journey will last for 5 weeks. The expected launch dates of these Huddles are within 2 weeks of this announcement. Please check your availability before applying. Structure: What Will a Huddle Consist Of? Each Huddle will aim to have around 20-30 members. The group will be open 24/7 and only badged members will have access. Thus, it is an opportunity for a shared, closer connection. 3 huddle groups will be created to accommodate groups of users in the current round, and we hope to onboard further interested users when the first “batch” is completed.  * This Huddle opportunity is available for members only. Listeners are encouraged to switch to a member account to participate. * This Huddle is currently open to adult users only.  Your Huddle experience will involve: * Once accepted, you will be asked to introduce yourself and some of your goals for joining the Huddle. Introducing yourself as well as participating during the first Huddle week at least once is compulsory to confirm your spot - these 2 actions will help you build the foundation of your longer-lasting journey! Here is what you can expect during your Huddle journey: Week 1 - Introductions Week 2 - Embracing Goals (and starting to share our progress) Week 3 - The Power of Mindfulness and Self-Care Week 4 - Managing Setbacks Week 5 - Celebrating Progress  The only expectations of you (other than participating every week!) is that you are willing to share the goals you are interested in as well as some commitment to work on some progress while sharing it. You are open to hearing other people’s stories and goals and will treat each of your peers with respect.  Some recommendations to ensure a beneficial experience include: * Try to participate in the group chat at least once a week. While you do not have to answer each prompt, you can share your daily experiences or other concerns. * Read other responses and reply to other participants: helping one another explore our reflections helps us all benefit from the interaction. Apart from the above guidelines, all users are expected to follow the general chatroom guidelines [https://www.7cups.com/community-guidelines/Member-Chatroom-Guidelines-9de0c9c1b6114d14a130f1b842af36fe]and the community guidelines [https://www.7cups.com/community-guidelines/].

Important Announcement: Team on Hiatus
by sophiasanae
Last post
 January 1st, 2023
...See more Hello everyone! After careful consideration, I have decided to put the TOZ Group Support Team on a temporary hiatus. This is due to a lack of active leaders/hosts, and a general decline in participation due to the holiday season and other factors. However, never fear! When we return, we will most likely restructure the Group Support Team to create the necessary improvements for success. So, what does being on hiatus mean? - Hosting is suspended: You will not be able to host under your role of TOZ discussion host. However, you are welcome to explore other hosting options on 7 Cups, including Pop-Up hosting if you're still interested in being involved. - Applications will not be processed: You are welcome to apply to be a TOZ discussion host, but just know that no applications will be processed until we return, meaning you may not hear back for a while. - Script-editing/writing is suspended: Since the script-writing team falls under the Group Support team, similar restrictions apply. If script-writers are still interested in catching up on/continuing to write scripts, they may on their own time, but they will not be edited until we return. There will also be no new script-writing assignments. For more updates and news for when we return, please keep following this thread! Also, please keep in mind that these updates apply only to Group Support, and not the TOZ as a whole. For questions, please reach out to @sophiasanae. Tagging TOZ leaders: @Mel @Estrellitaa @DylanxYuzu @JasmineFlower222 @Littlestrawberry222 @SparklingSeashells @azuladragon34 @mamtasha22
2022 Monthly Blasts for Discussion Leaders
by sophiasanae
Last post
 November 5th, 2022
...See more January Monthly Blast Hello all! Welcome to our first monthly blast! These posts are meant to give a recap of the month's events and talk about updates and announcements for the upcoming month. Monthly Recap: We hit a record of 25 sessions signed up and hosted by individual hosts! Congratulations everyone, I'm so proud of all your hard work. 2022 is off to an amazing start! All hosts will be receiving cheers for the sessions they hosted shortly. To see how many cheers you earned, check out the tracking page on the TOZ dashboard! Monthly Shoutout: Our monthly shoutout goes to @FallenStarss for hosting 9 sessions this month! And congrats to the runner up, @29amy for hosting 7 (and back to back sessions too!). Please congratulate @FallenStarss and @29amy by replying to this post! Reminders: Please note that for sessions to be marked "cancelled" on the sign-up sheet, your co-host and @sophiasanae must be notified at least 48 hours in advance. If I do not receive a message about a cancellation within the timeframe, your session will be marked missed instead. Also, please do not forget to change the status of your session! I know we are still getting adjusted to this new system, but it is super important to change the status of your session to "completed," or "missed" after your discussion's time slot has passed. This helps us make sure the tracking page is accurate. If I message you about changing the status of your session and do not hear back within a reasonable timeframe, it will be marked "missed" and you will not receive any cheers for it. Updates: All member daily scripts have officially been updated! Whoohoo! They have been re-formatted, updated, and the correct links have been added. The link to the member daily session scripts has been updated on the February sign-ups page of the TOZ dashboard. Icebreaker Hour and Quiz/Games Night have official scripts now, so if you're hosting these sessions, please make sure to use them! The script for "Remembering Our Purpose" has moved to be with all the other discussion scripts. It was about time, since it is a discussion after all! You can find it on the TOZ sign-up page by clicking on "Discussion Scripts" under the "Links" column. We are still working on updating all the discussion scripts, although this will be an ongoing project since there are so many of them! We need your help! If you see any scripts that are outdated or need to be edited, please add a comment on the Discussion Scripts sheet and note the reason why it needs to be looked out. Then message @sophiasanae. Finally, remember that the discussion scripts do not have the correct links in the conclusion paragraphs. This is because they are old scripts!

...See more I've only been a listener for a month or 2, but it seems like at least 3/4 of the people I talk to are suffering from the same thing: their parents are over-pressuring them to get perfect grades. They are always depressed, many times self harm, giving up hope about their future, and just emotionally abused overall. I propose that the Group community come up with a subcommunity and program to address this issue. Some of the things I feel should be included: * It is NOT necessary to get perfect grades. * People in general are not perfect, and it's irrational to expect them to be. * You are valued and loved regardless of what grades you get in school. * School should be fun, and you should have time to enjoy life outside of studying. * You should be free to choose what academic subjects you want to study because it's your life! Parents have no right to choose which path we study, just like they have NO right to tell us who to marry, or which gender we are, or which gender we are attracted to. * Any parents to violate these things are committing emotional abuse. Is this something that the Group team can look into? I dont know if you've taken these chats before but they are almost all the same set of stresses. And yet I dont see anything already in place to help them. Kids are being abused in the name of academic success, and we need to do something about it!
