Re-Introducing Member Compassion Course
by ASilentObserver

...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
 Monday
...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 is 80 messages sent if you're an adult, and 40 sent if you're a teen. This includes both your first welcome PMs and your follow-up PMs. This may sound like a lot initially but it's easier than it sounds once you get into the swing of messaging. 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!

What motivates you to spread kindness in your daily life?

...See more For me, it’s the belief that even small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect, making the world a bit brighter. Plus, seeing the positive impact on others often brings a sense of fulfillment and joy that’s hard to beat. What about you? What drives your commitment to kindness?

Where are ScreenNames 1-18?

Last post
 July 22nd
...See more I'll get to the point of the thread title, but I should introduce myself first. Hey! I'm ScreenName19 and I'm 30 years old. I'm not good at talking to people but I totally want to be. I'm a stay-at-home mom with no friends. I have always had social anxiety, and it's hard to meet people. It's also hard to like people enough to want to hang out with them. (Not that I think very highly of myself.) It'd be cool to end up meeting a girl I get along with on this website, but I won't get my hopes up. I was just going to make my screen name ScreenName, but that was taken, and so was 1-18. I want to know who are all of these other ScreenNames that checked number by number? They might be my people.

...See more    In this story, you are the main character. Please envision yourself as "I" in the story. Camie (me) is your friend. Enjoy <3.  "Hey, Camie?" I ask.    She turns her head around to face me, ever so slightly, to signal 'yeah?'     The wind did not approve of the sudden movement and sent a fistful of spite. This, in doing so, caused Camie's dark locks to envelope her sun-kissed face.     I giggle at the sight.     "Are we- are we still gonna run away together?" I work up the courage to ask.     She stares at me in disbelief. Then she starts laughing.    At this point I'm just very confused, but I work up a smile. After all, laughs are contagious.     "Of course we're gonna run away together, silly", she says.     She points her hand into the sky, high high above, where no one can reach us. "That's where we're gonna go". "It's gonna be our place". "Only ours, and no one else's".    Then she pulls me close, into a hug. She tangles my hair in-between her soft fingers and plants a plum-colored kiss on my cheek (it's one of those kisses that make you float and sends an electric shock that tingles).    She continues, looking into my eyes,  "It's gonna be a place of no violence,    no judgement,   no perfect God,    no money--"    You stop her.   "But most importantly", you start. "It's gonna be a place where...  feel free to leave your answer in the comments, it could be what you don't want or what you want our world to have, or just anything you wanna say to fill it in.  Thank you for reading. Um please pay no mind to my bad writing. I hope you could spare a comment(s) for me. I'm looking forward to your answer(s)! I made this so I could see a list of what everyone hopes for.
