A Year of Healing and Growth in the Sharing Circle: Okeyyyy
Hello again,
Last week we introduced an initiative: How was your experience with Sharing Circle? If you haven't checked yet, do check what @Justmiles has to say about their experiences here.
This week, @okeyyyy joined us to share their experiences of growth and healing. Okeyyy is one of the regular participants of Sharing Circle and joined the community in December 2015. So in today’s edition, we will share @okeyyyy experiences in the Sharing Circle in their own words.
Okey shares,
"It feels like just yesterday I took that first hesitant step into the Sharing Circle. It has been over a year since I first joined the Sharing Circle, and looking back, it feels like a pivotal point in my journey. This group has become a safe haven where I can be truly authentic and vulnerable. The opportunity to share my feelings without judgment has been incredibly healing.
Every session is a chance to explore different facets of myself, and the support from others is invaluable. There have been times when words felt trapped within me, but the Sharing Circle provided the space to unlock those emotions and express them openly. The moderators create a supportive environment that feels almost like group therapy, where everyone is heard and understood.
Thanks to the Sharing Circle, I have begun to break down walls and open up to others. Through consistent participation, I have noticed a significant shift in my perspective. I have become more comfortable stepping outside my comfort zone and trusting others. The insights gained from sharing my experiences have empowered me to tackle challenges with renewed confidence. While I know personal growth is a continuous process, the Sharing Circle has equipped me with the tools and support to navigate life's ups and downs. I feel more resilient in navigating life challenges now.
I recommend the Sharing Circle to anyone seeking a supportive community. The combination of catharsis, enlightenment, and healing makes it an exceptional space for personal growth and emotional well-being. It is a space where you'll feel heard, understood, and empowered to be your authentic self."

@okeyyyy what do you wish someone would have told you early on to help you take that first step to share? And thank you for sharing your experience!
@GlenM thanks so much, 😛 well sharing circle is more about a lot of the small things which i share and i get to work on every day there, so is not so much as just one thing that would heal me, but is more like working every day to obstacles that arise in my life, plus i do therapy 2 times per week .
I'm so glad you feel so welcome and able to be your authentic self @okeyyyy it's always great to see you in Sharing Circle room 😊💜
@Lou73 thanks , so glad to hear this. have a lovely day 😛
@ASilentObserver
Well this was rather unexpected to be mentioned in a post such as this, while I feel honoured to be mentioned I feel rather shy like hiding my face under my hoodie 😛.
Well yes the sharing circle is one of my favourites room to be, due to its safe natures that mods are present to help. Also I have the chance to learn different things from mods as well, such as compassion, respect, i also get to learn things as limits and other great qualities. I do have to admit It took me quite some time to adapt to 7 cups such as to learn about rules and to learn about how to behave myself and such things which are great to learn when living in a society, cause these things apply too to our daily lives. Mods here are great help to this community who get the roles to help this site be more safe for us, so I am really grateful for all the hard work the mods are doing to make this site possible. 🤗
Yes I am going through a lot of changes in my life, and this site had and still continues to help me in a lot of the challenges I am facing in my life, it feels almost like having someone to help me move forwards. Yet I have many more challenges to face in my life. Here i can open up more and its a great place to share about my emotions.
Well it was lovely reading all those kind words @ASilentObserver , like I feel that this site 7 cups has saved my life several times, and sharing circle had and still continues to do help me.
And its a great place to be to grow together with other very kind people :) and when we make mistakes we can learn from them and help each other, cause also you can find lovely members too who can help you too, mods are lovely too ;) 😛 and as always learning to understand other people is a thing of great importance too, cause despite all our good will, as humans we all have flaws, and learning in how to relate to others and socialize is a great thing to learn for me.
thanks to all the ones who make this site possible, which it means a lot to me and it has a big place in my heart.
love to all the ones who work so hard to bring this site together from the bottom of my heart.
