Site Updates - An Online Community for You

...See more Dear Community, I hope all is well! It has finally started to warm up here and I’m delighted. Things have been hopping over here. One recent focus has been on how we can do more to bridge online and offline care via 7cups.com/local [http://7cups.com/local]. It is still in process and will likely take a while to figure out, but look for more on this front in the future. We’ve also been working on a number of grant applications to provide additional support to folks around the world. Last, we did a big overhaul of 7cups.com/qa [http://7cups.com/qa]. Thank you all for asking and answering important questions! I’ll write more on this in an upcoming post, but I wanted to share an idea I’ve been meditating on. The brief version, beautiful things often take a long time to develop. We are collectively building something beautiful here. It has already been 11 years. I can tell you, what we are doing becomes more interesting, detailed, layered, textured and beautiful each and every year. More to come on this… I appreciate you all. Thank you for helping us build 7 Cups brick by brick. We are making good progress! H I’m sure most of you have heard about the Transformation Wheel initiative I’ve been asking folks to try out. I’d like to congratulate those who have completed testing! I have announced the first group here in this post. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/General_2444/CongratulationstoourfirstgroupofTranformationWheelTesters_344645/] And since then, three more folks have finished and earned the exclusive Wellness Warrior badge: @Hi66666 @LovesSprintCars @daydreammemories We have closed sign-ups for testers to take TTW to the broad community! The Transformation Wheel is as of this week a community challenge, with structured weekly steps and forum threads for buddying up and giving mutual support! Trying something new can be tough, especially when it involves self-work but we’ve got you every step of the way. Check out the official release post and sign up! [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/TherapeuticExperimentTheTransformationWheel_2681/TackleyourproblemsandwelcomepositivechangeJointheofficialTransformationWheelChallenge_345975/] 💪 The Welcome Committee is now an official project under the Community domain! This means the program is here to stay, listed as one of our Leadership Opportunities (listeners-only link) [https://www.7cups.com/listener/training/leadership/f1ad4aeec12647bf90bbd70d4f0f9813/]. Listeners are encouraged to apply and help us cover more timezones so we can make sure as many newbies get greeted as possible! We’re also actively looking to bring on Project Agents to build out our leadership and scale the Welcome Committee.

In Academy sub-communities, we introduced Tiny Steps, a series of small, themed tasks designed to support personal growth through manageable actions. We’ve already completed two rounds. You can view all steps here. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/academy/FunCorner_2196/TinyStepsAllSteps_345621/] The Academy polls initiative also has a new lead, @Melss27, who has done a fantastic job maintaining and running the polls, with four rounds already posted, you can view the latest here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/academy/FunCorner_2196/AcademyPollsRound17ColorVibesWhatDoTheseColorsSaytoYou_345473/].

Join us in congratulating them [https://www.7cups.com/forum/qlp/AnnouncementsandUpdates_2201/QuietListenernewAcademyMentorLeaderoftheQualityListeningProgram_345365] There’s a new workshop series in town! Conquering Worry is now live, and those who complete it will be eligible for a certificate. It is based on the book ‘How to Stop Worrying and Start Living’ by Dale Carnegie. So far, we have covered Carpe Diem (Seize the day), a practical approach to managing worry and Keeping busy. All of which can be found here.

We marked this milestone with a reflection on our collective achievements and a special chatroom event. This is a significant moment for the Academy, and I’m deeply grateful for the passionate and dedicated admins, ambassadors, mentor leaders, mentors, trainees, and graduates who have all played a vital role in shaping our journey. You can still join the celebrations here. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/academy/AcademyEvents_2338/7CupsAcademyTurns5_345507/] Obs 2025 is off to a fantastic start, and I am grateful for your quality and meaningful participation throughout January.

I am glad to share that our Reflection Week Event [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/GroupSupportCommunityEvents_2295/January2025JoinOurGroupSupportEventReflectionWeek_343820/] went well. We received an average feedback rating of 9.14/10, which is truly wonderful. Thank you to everyone who shared their reflections and offered encouragement. They were truly insightful sessions, and we are looking forward to having more high-quality events throughout 2025. I am also grateful for the collective effort that went into the second version of our Mission Listener Support Chat Revival [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerChatroomsInformation_2144/MissionRevivingListenerSupportRoomPartII_344176/]. Thanks to the support and hard work of our listeners and leaders, the LSR/TL chat has been relatively more active compared to previous months. Kudos to everyone for their resilient and thoughtful presence – supporting, guiding, and encouraging each other is what makes this community so strong. Also, we announced the improved version of the Member Compassion course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/welcome/General_2418/UpdatedVersionMemberCompassionCourse_345105/], based on your helpful feedback. The course has been very well received so far, with participants giving it an average feedback rating of 8.2/10.

SoulfullyAButterfly January marks the annual community Word Cloud activity results. Our Word “Cups” feature word reflections from the community for both the year that has ended and the New Year.

First of all, our 2024 forum statistics [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/EventsDiscussions_2666/ForumUnwrapped2024Statistics_344129/] were a big hit! This inspired us to make some tweaks to our monthly spotlight thread [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/EventsDiscussions_2666/Changestoour2025forumspotlights_344373/]. These updates will help recognise the efforts of all contributors and will provide you with regular forum statistics. We also rolled out our 2025 Events Calendar [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WwLhaibXGzoAqwAahvrVbZ27OY-808a2/edit?gid=1940214867#gid=1940214867] - if there’s anything you’d like to add or help with, please let us know about it here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfR0pLsJjrWC952reILl6GWpNOUApCbKJi-aJ-k0AJZaZTM1Q/viewform] or PM tommy [http://www.7cups.com/@tommy]. We have also started to build and expand on our newest community. Men’s Issues [https://www.7cups.com/forum/men/] is now available for your use and you can sign up to the taglist here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/men/CommunitySpace_2680/MensIssuesAutomatedTaglist_344389/] so you don’t miss out on any upcoming events or discussions relating to this topic. Finally, we’re always on the look out for new forum leaders.
