Sharing Circle New Updates! (TEENS)
Hello, Lovelies of Teen Land! 
I hope you are all doing well.
I have some news for you and need some help from you. As you might know, we have been running 4 Sharing Circles and 4 Healthy Habits for a while now. But, as per the feedback we received lately, it seems like sessions are not taking place actively. Either because of lack of participants or lack of host coverage for some of the sessions.
These sessions were introduced to bring more support to everyone. But, unfortunately, it seems like it is not happening in all the sessions. So we are making a few changes to these sessions with the hope that they will bring better support for you.
Change 1 - Removing Healthy Habit Sessions
Due to the inactivity for Healthy Habit sessions, we are removing it and replacing the Healthy Habits Sessions with Sharing Circle Sessions. That means, there will be a total of 8 Sharing Circle Sessions happening now w.e.f June 14, 2021 (Monday).
Change 2 - New Sharing Circle Timing
We noticed some of the sessions are not happening and they are inactive for a while now. That’s why we are rolling out a short form to seek your help to decide what time will be better for everyone to attend and get all the support you deserve.
Here is a short form: https://tinyurl.com/hs99kj9a (Clickable link)
Please share your inputs with us at the latest by June 13, 2021 (Sunday)
Change 3 - Introducing Member-powered Hosting Initiative!
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)
And, a couple of reminders!
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
*Shares Cookies* & *Group Hugs* Let’s take care and support each other together!

@ASilentObserver a question I have is; those who have been hosting healthy habits sessions up until now, will be removed from the hosting sheet, or will they be able to keep on hosting with the changes made?
@KateDoskocilova they could continue hosting Kate. But now instead of healthy habits, they would host Sharing circle.
My questions exactly, along with do our hosting slots(time) change then?
@Bubbles2025
Hello there, Bubbles! After examining the responses obtained in THIS form, the schedule of hosting slots may be adjusted if necessary. So, please complete and submit THIS form so that the time when you are available to host a session can be noted. The timing of the session's slots will be decided after all/many submissions have been received and reviewed but nothing to worry about, as it will be ensured that people of any timezone could host it.
Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
Thank you so much!
Hi @ASilentObserver,
There's a slight problem with the form with timing availability question. It's mandatory that we select at least one timing for 12am to 12pm (part 1). But my availability for attending is all 12pm-12am. So it's not letting me submit. Could this be fixed please, or should I select a random time slot for 12am to 12pm that I might be able to attend?
Hello! Thank you for putting up these much effort sir or ma'am :> I appreciate it a lot hope I can join more often in the new sched of sharing circle 💜
Will we have to sign up for slots again for hosting or will that be unaffected? When will we find out the new slots?
