Hosting Heros 🌟
I hope everyone is having a lovely relaxing Sunday and preparing for the week ahead. It is time for us to take a look at our very first Hosting Hero!
To announce our very first Hero Host, it seems perfectly fitting that we begin with highlighting and recognising one of our most dedicated facilitators who has offered their time, patience and kindness since Nov 2022 with an amazing log of 290 sessions!
It came as no surprise to me that CalmRosebud received many nominations in our first week of launching our new Hero Hosts. Many Sharing Circle Members, Listeners and hosts look up to you and appreciate all that you do. During your sessions, you are always seen giving your time and compassion to support members and ensure the smooth running of the room. You are always welcoming and friendly and provide everyone with a fair opportunity to join the queue and let their voice be heard. You have always pushed yourself to be the best host you can be and your latest post examining the therapeutic benefits of group support and Sharing Circles has been deeply insightful.
Above all, Rose lets her brilliant sense of humour and amazing personality shine through week in, week out and always stays down to Earth. Her passion and enthusiasm for Sharing Circles continues to burn bright. Thank you for being awesome!
So without further ado, please join me in congratulating
@CalmRosebud for being our first Hosting Shero!
And the amazing graphic was made by our Hosting Shero herself @CalmRosebud!

This week's hero host is a new rising star. SerenityAnchor has had multiple nominations for hosting Sharing Circles and showing passion for group support. They've shown a willingness to learn and when hosting, they have showed kindness and consideration to others, kept the queue in good order, and given thoughtful support to members.

What a lovely surprise! I am So honored. Especially because I am new to the team. When I discovered the Sharing Circle, it didn't take long at all for me to fall in love with it. I knew I had to try my hand at hosting. After hosting a few times, I knew I had to join the team to help support this incredible part of 7Cups.
It is a wonderful, supportive space where members can choose to have some dedicated time to share their truths, journeys, struggles, joys, challenges, triumphs, celebrations, or just a piece of their day and be heard and supported.
How beautiful is that!?!
Thank you very much to those who nominated me. ❤️
Special thanks to @Lou73 who encouraged me ❤️
@CalmRosebud who has agreed to mentor me so I can be the best host I can be and continue learning and growing on my listener journey here at Cups 🌹❣️🌹
@Kyoshi who has been so supportive 🦷❤️
And everyone on the Sharing Circle team ❤️❤️❤️
Extra special thanks to our members, without whom this space would not exist ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for trusting me with your shares, your stories, your journeys ❤️
To anyone I may have inadvertently forgotten to thank here (and I am sure there are a few) please forgive me - it was not intentional ❣️
This week's Hosting Shero is our wonderful InsightfulPhoenix! Since starting hosting over 8 months ago, she has hosted over 128 Sharing Circles! Phoenix is always friendly and welcoming to everyone whilst also making sure that users keep to the guidelines to maintain a safe and supportive space.
Despite a busy family life, Phoenix finds time to host on-spot sessions allowing many members to share, and offering support and encouragement. Phoenix has always shown a passion for Sharing Circles and hosting and does an amazing job of it!
