Re-Introducing Member Compassion Course
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 10 hours ago
...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. This post is about - 7 Cups Compassion Course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/KitchenTable_133/SelfhelplearningwithLaura_743/7CUPSCOMPASSIONCOURSE_6809/1/] which was created by Laura. The course is for members only. Not for listeners! The goal of this course is to understand and know the basics of practicing compassion and help & support our members to have a compassionate experience in the group support chat rooms. This course allows you to foster healthy conversations and connections as well as be a compassionate, loving, supportive, and amazing member of the chat rooms and the community. Who can participate? Any member can take this quiz. Even if you are an experienced member, then also welcome to take part in it. Because we are all learning and practicing compassion. How can a member participate? * Once you have completed the course, please let us know in the comments of this post. * Also, tag any 3 members you know to invite them to take the quiz as well. * Your responses to the course will be graded and if you successfully passed it, you will receive, “Compassion Hero” badge. * If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. Feedback will be shared and then you can retake the course. Please remember that this course is designed to help you practice compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Because it is kindness that makes any place a better place to live in. Also, it will make you feel more comfortable, and well equipped to participate and be a wonderful participant in the group support chat rooms and forums. If you have any feedback to improve the course or any other ideas, please let us know in the comments of this thread. On that note, I invite you to take the compassion course here: https://tinyurl.com/4us8x8ue A big thank you to @vivelespatates for single-handedly managing this initiative for all these years! ------------------------- Edit: by ASilentObserver on 04/06/2022

Calling All Verified Listeners: Help Wanted on the 7 Cups Welcome Committee!
by Heather225
Last post
 December 2nd
...See more The hardest part of the journey is sometimes the beginning, and this is especially true of our newbies. We as a community have the power and ability to ensure they get properly oriented and supported so that their journey is smooth. I have been actively contacting newbies over the past couple of months and the results have been inspiring. Roughly 80% of those I sent a personal message responded to me and very appreciatively! That's a really big deal because those people have a much higher chance of being retained (retained = staying on 7 Cups). But I need help! So it's with great excitement, that I announce the revamped relaunch of the Welcome Committee! Through this initiative, we can meet our newcomers at the start with a friendly welcome (think hospitality, a greeter, etc.). We will also provide guidance and resources they need to navigate their first steps. The tasks are simple. PMing brand new members off a list, saying hi, giving resources, answering their questions and sending follow-up PMs to make sure their transition is complete. There's a few requirements just to be sure Welcomers are familiar with the basics of our platform. Requirements: ✔ You must be a Verified Listener (find out how to get verified here) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] ✔ 25+ chats ✔ No behavior reports (BPS) within 3 months ✔ Maintenance criteria: 2-3 hours a month to dedicate to this project ✔ Adaptability to changes! This is a new team so we're still figuring things out and like to try new things. ✔ Note: The team uses a google spreadsheet to copy/paste names and log PMs so you'll need access to a computer/laptop device. We apologize for the inconvenience! The monthly quota: Adults: Welcome 30 members (60 messages sent including first PM & followup) Teens: Welcome 15 members (30 messages sent including first PM & followup) You can make a huge difference in our community's growth by joining us. I look forward to building this team with you! >>> Apply here!

Feeling and healing

...See more Hello I have been struggling with many life challenges since ten years now. And I have become a very strong and a mature person. Life teaches everybody and we are also our own teachers in the school of life. I know that in the end I have to put all the pieces together and complete the puzzle of my life. And this is why I became stronger. I hope to share my experience here and also support others who are going through something of their own that they need to heal from.

Old but new because I have a new name

...See more Hey everybody, I'm creating an icebreaker. I am old and new at the same time. I am a old active listener but I knew active listener because I have a new name. I have been a member for ages and I love seven cups of tea and I have enrolled myself in therapy. I am doing training with my active listening but I've been focusing on myself a lot more so I've only started a little bit of it. I am really happy to be back and to be a part of this community. It makes me so happy to be a member and a active listener as well. If you want to speak to me you just have to look for energetic and I'll be happy to speak to you. Lots of love, energetic

If You Could Have Any Superpower for a Day, What Would It Be and How Would You Use It?
by hambagucat
Last post
 September 23rd
...See more Let’s have a little fun with our imaginations. If you could wake up tomorrow with any superpower, but only for a day, what would it be? And most importantly, how would you use it? 🦸 Would you choose the ability to fly and spend the day soaring through the skies? Maybe you’d go with mind-reading and finally understand what’s going on in people’s heads (or maybe that’s too scary!). Or perhaps you’d opt for something totally unique, like the power to time travel or communicate with animals. As for me, I’d love to have the power of teleportation. I’d spend the day hopping between different countries, visiting all the places on my bucket list without the hassle of airports or long flights. What about you? What’s your superpower for the day, and what’s your game plan? 🤍
