Introduction: Teen Mega Sharing Circle Hours
Hello, Lovelies of Teen Land! 
I hope you are all doing well.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I appreciate it. Based on the survey for new sharing circle timing, I am excited to announce Mega Sharing Circle Hours!!
Mega Sharing Circle will be a block of 3 hours where 3 sessions will happen back to back to provide uninterrupted space for sharing or even simply venting. And, we are bringing 4 Mega Sharing Circle Hours! The new session timings will be live w.e.f June 21, 2021 (Monday). The new timings are:
- 3.00 AM - 5.00 AM Eastern Time (ET)
- 9.00 AM - 11.00 AM ET
- 1.00 PM - 3.00 PM ET
- 10.00 PM - 12.00 AM ET
It means more and better time to share your emotions, feelings, thoughts, and experiences or even simply vent. And, yes, more virtual cookies too!
However, a few things to keep in mind!
- All sessions will be limited to an hour.
- Every hour a new session will be started.
- Everyone is welcome to participate and support. Members can join the sharing queue. While listeners could stay to listen, support, and cheer up the sharers.
- At the end of the session, please fill the Host Log form- https://tinyurl.com/y569m8wu . So you could receive cheers at the end of the month. It is a small token of gratitude for the support that a host provided to the community by hosting Sharing Circle Sessions.
- We want these sessions to be therapeutic and supportive of everyone.
And, also a reminder about this update:
We know that it is difficult to get 100% host coverage for all the sessions every day. That is why we are re-introducing the open spot host initiative. As these sessions are to support the members and as we see how members and listeners come together to support each other in the chat rooms, then we believe why not you all take care of these sessions too.
You all can collectively host the session if no host is present for a specific block. Here is the guidelines for it: https://tinyurl.com/v5khx6 (Clickable link)
- You know how sharing is hard. Reaching out and sharing how you feel, what you are experiencing is not easy at all. And, it becomes more difficult when your past experiences with sharing aren't really good. But, I find it really beautiful to see how many of us reach out in the sharing circle and share their thoughts in an uninterrupted space. That's a courageous step and for that, I admire and proud of you all. It may not be easy to come forward and share but please know we are here with you to hear and support. You are not alone in this journey. So, if you have anything to share, please feel free to join and share. You got this!
- Hosting a session could be scary and anxiety-inducing. If you feel this way, then please know I can understand and relate to it. But at the same time, every time I host, I know that I have a supportive community to back up support, encourage and help me out. And, that’s how I am able to host every session. And, we are here with you, if you decide to join and host too. Hosting is one of the ways to care for and support the community and members. So, give it a try and if you experience any challenges, feel free to send me a message and I will be here to help you with it.
Please let me know if you have any questions, thoughts, ideas about the above changes in the comment of this post or simply by sending a message to me at 7cups.com/@ASilentObserver or 7cups.com/@SuryanshSingh
What’s in your mind? Share with us by joining in the Sharing Circle Room! We are here to hear and support you!!

I look forward to it, I've attended a couple sharing circles I look forward to the changes.
Thanks for sharing this exciting news Obs. The more Sharing Circles the better!
@ASilentObserver That's an exciting news!
Does this mean the hosting schedule will be impacted for anyone who already hosts a session? I host on Monday at 1pm, Saturday at 5pm (although I am considering dropping out of it) and Sunday at 9am. Or will this stay the same?
@TheResilientDancer Hello there Resilient. Yes, the hosting schedule will be impacted. We'll soon make a new sign up sheet and all the slots will be cleared. Hosts will be asked to re-choose their slots. Thank you 
@ASilentObserver
So now there will be a total of 12 sessions a day, 3 sessions continuous and a gap of 3 hours in between. Each Mega Hour would need 3 hosts, or maybe only 1-2, depending on the host's capacity. And the session will keep going on this way everyday. Earlier, Sharing Circles were from 9am ET to to 12 am ET, so there was Sharing Circle coverage for a set time period. With the new Mega Hour system, there will be an almost 24/7 Sharing Circle coverage, so this is a big accomplishment of this new schedule.
This is indeed a great schedule. Looking forward to its implementation and working❤
Glad to see Mega Sharing Circles heading over to the Teen side as well!
Hi @ASilentObserver,
Thank you so much for this update! Look forward to attending some of these sessions in the future.
awesome!!
Hello Hello, Lovely Hosts! Hope you all are doing well.
As you all know, there have been some major updates in Sharing Circles. Small Steps towards Healthy Habits sessions will be stopped from 21st June and from that day, the team will be following a "Complete New Schedule of Hosts".
Please check and Pre-Register your slots ~~HERE~~. From the 21st of June, the schedule in this New Sheet will be followed. You can access the sheet by clicking the HERE button above, or check from here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RLAzntJGOpNjf1cMxhPNCorHvtp0p9RnJ7c2f9kUmbc/edit?usp=sharing
Some things to remember:
1. Please do not choose for more than 3 Slots.
2. Please inform leaders (me, or @bookworm274, or @hopebeyondpain) after filling up your slot by replacing "co-host needed" with your 7 Cups username so the leaders could finalize your chosen slots.
3. You must not remove other's names, you can only replace "co-host needed" with your 7 Cups username.
4. You cannot change your chosen slots every time, so please choose your slots wisely. Before changing slots, please remember to ask any leader before changing the slot, we need to check some things before permitting you to change.
5. Any Assigned/Committed Host who does not fill a single slot within three weeks will be considered "inactive" and removed from Committed Hosting.
6. We are now encouraging Member-Powered Hosting in place of On-Spot hosting. In this, an On-Spot host won't be required, but members and listeners present in the room could themselves host the session together. Please check the details of Member-Powered Hosting from ~~HERE~~.
