Everyone who participates in the 'Dream💗Consultation Room Chat' is so warm💛
On August 1, 2023, the 'Dream🍀Consultation Room' we had been working on previously became the Dream💗Consultation Room, operated by the three of us: Mamanosuke, Yuzu, and Keiko.
The second chat session since becoming the official 'Dream💗Consultation Room' was held via Zoom on Saturday, January 27, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM ＼(^_^)／
In this article, I will report on how it went 🎵
Before that report, let's take a quick look back (^^)/
The previous chat session was held on Saturday, September 23, with 9 participants!
If you haven't read it yet, please be sure to check out the article below ☟ 💗
Here, I will paste the articles posted by the counselors after the event in the order they were posted, to let you know how it went (^^)/
The three of us, the 'Dream💗Consultation Room' counselors, had a passionate desire to continue the 'Dream💗Consultation Room' at our own pace, while balancing our own work, our health, and our own time.
And finally, after four months, we were able to hold the 'Second Dream💗Consultation Room Chat' ＼(^_^)／
Starting around December 1, 2023, we slowly announced it on the counselors' notes, and on January 11, 2024, we officially posted the recruitment article for the chat session from the 'Dream💗Consultation Room Official' account!
The theme this time was 'My Happy Time' (#^.^#)
It was the beginning of a year that had both sad and painful things.
We worried and discussed whether we should continue with the recruitment.
But, precisely because it was such a time, we decided to continue the recruitment with the thought, 'We want to look at the small happiness nearby and talk about it' 💗
Because we were able to take a positive approach back then, I now feel that we were able to share a very wonderful time with all the participants (*^^)v
When we started the recruitment, we had 10 applications in about a week, and in the end, we received 12 applications. While letting out happy screams, we were able to hold the 'Dream💗Consultation Room Chat,' and we were encouraged and supported by the decision to continue the recruitment 💛
The counselors held meetings and chatted (lol) several times via Zoom and LINE calls to discuss the arrangements for the day (^_-)-☆
This time, we also decided to try 'group discussions' for the first time 🎵
On the day, at 7:55 PM, we waited with excitement as the participants arrived one after another (*^-^*)
Whether they were participants from last time, people we hadn't seen in a while, or first-time participants, I could feel their initial nervousness. To help them relax as much as possible, we explained that they were free to eat and drink whenever they wanted, talked a little about the 'Dream💗Consultation Room' safety initiatives, did a little stretching (lol), and proceeded.
We had been in contact via email three times beforehand, sharing participant introductions and schedules to help everyone feel natural, and on the day, we started by encouraging everyone so that those who were speaking wouldn't show their nervousness!
As we had announced in advance, we started with self-introductions and had everyone freely talk about their 'Happy Time' for about 5 minutes each (*^-^*).
As for each person's 'Happy Time,' I'll leave that to their own articles, but in a word, as I listened to everyone's 'Happy Time,' I received so much happiness, and it was a time filled with constant smiles (´∀｀*)ufufu
So, after each person presented, I shared a word about my relationship with them and the strengths or charms I know they have (lol) (*^^)v
Furthermore, this time we also took time for chats in small groups. We asked for feedback in the survey after the chat session, and many replied that while they could talk without nervousness in the group as a whole, it was even easier to talk in small groups (*・ω・)(*-ω-)(*・ω・)(*-ω-)Uh-huh♪
Moving forward, we hope to continue creating a safe, secure, and relaxing space by incorporating both talking as a whole group and talking in smaller groups 💗
Next time, please join us too ☆彡
After all, talking about the same theme while looking at each other's faces, not just talking yourself, but watching each person's expressions and listening intently to their stories—it's just repeating that, but that space became a very warm, gentle, and happy time.
At the end, everyone unmuted their Zoom and finished with a 'single clap' ❕👏👏
This time was also warm and wonderful, and I am sincerely grateful to everyone who participated for making it so (^^)/
Well then, with that in mind, I was looking forward to the day, but on the day of the event, I received cancellation notices from two people.
They each had circumstances that made it impossible for them to attend, which I found very unfortunate, but I believe there will be another opportunity for us to chat together, so I am looking forward to that day again 💗
Now, to conclude, I would like to introduce the participants and finish my article.
For the article introductions, I will present the articles you chose yourself when signing up, as well as articles posted after the chat (though they may not always be about the chat itself 🎵).
Some people have mentioned they might write more, so if a 'chat session impression article' is posted, I will add it and paste it in (^^)/
Thank you so much for participating this time 💗
I look forward to your continued support in the future (#^.^#)
For the introductions, I will place the counselor last, and the participants in the order they signed up ☆彡
【Participants】
🌸 Aine-san
She participated even though she was feeling unwell and was busy with a new challenge she is currently undertaking.
She had been looking forward to it for a while, so she was the first to sign up when I posted the recruitment article! I was so happy and relieved 💗
Seeing her calmly talk about her own 'happy time' was so lovely and just like Aine-chan (#^.^#)
🌸 Tsuru-san
Tsuru-san is involved in various creative endeavors, and none of them are things she 'has to do,' but rather creative activities she continues out of a wellspring of passion.
She is a person who is like a bundle of 'kindness' 💗
As for her favorite time right now... she wrote about it in an article ☆彡
She even performed for us using that source of happiness~ 🎵
I was so happy that she posted an article immediately after the session ended 💛
🌸 Otoya-san
Otoya-san, who has connected with Yuzu-chan and Keiko through 'ink painting' 💗
She said she had wanted to participate for a long time and finally made it. She was smiling the whole time, softening the atmosphere and livening up the session, which was a huge support. Thank you so much 🎵
I hope you will join us again if there is another opportunity (^^)/
🌸 Natsuki Yuta-san
Yuta-san has also participated in the 'Dream Consultation Room' many times, and I am always encouraged by his gentle smile 💗
Even amidst his calmness, he has a clear sense of what he values, and I respect that.
He is a wonderful Yuta-san who also supports me personally all the time.
🌸 Eva-san
You have been participating in the 'Dream Consultation Room' so often that I can call you a regular.
You can find out the reason for that in the third article below, titled 'I wanted to dig a little deeper...'.
As the organizer, I am encouraged to have the 'Dream💗Consultation Room' in such a place, and I am also happy that such a space exists for you, Eva-san (^^)/
🌸Maya (Mikenyan)-san
You changed your name to Maya (Mikenyan) this year, but to me, you'll always be Mikenyan. Because I know you love cats and dream of living with them (lol).
Mikenyan, you started your note and, while facing various life experiences, you casually found the 'Dream Consultation Room' and have been participating☆彡
It's cool to see you taking on various challenges while expressing your thoughts. Please come and hang out anytime! (#^.^#)
🌸Soi-san
'I just felt like talking (lol)'
That's what you said when you signed up❗
I'm so happy to hear that 😃💕
Even if it was just a feeling, I am grateful for the fact that you turned your heart toward this place and felt drawn to it for some reason 💗
Soi-san's current 'happy time' is when you spend it with the little angels who have come into your life 😊
🌸Atsuko-san
You couldn't participate on the day due to feeling unwell. I was happy that you said you wanted to participate even a little bit until the very last minute 🎵
I'll be waiting for you next time 💗
🌸Hikari-san
Hikari-san, it hasn't been long since you started your note.
I am so happy that you found this place 😊
You shared the keyword, 'It is happiness to have one's heart fulfilled' 🎵
You are very sensitive, but also a theorist, and I learn from your desire to grow greedily❗
It seemed like you still had more to talk about 😊
Please come and hang out again slowly ✨
From here on, I'd like to introduce our counselors 💗
🌸Mamanosuke-counselor
Always positive❗
And Mamanosuke-chan is so reliable.
The illustration for the 'Dream💗Consultation Room' is Mamanosuke-chan's work.
You are going to take a Canva course soon❗
I was anxious without Yuzu-chan, but having Mamanosuke-chan there really supported me❗ Thank you always ❤️
🌸Yuzu-counselor
Yuzu-chan also had to cancel at the last minute due to unavoidable circumstances (please rest assured, it wasn't Yuzu-chan's own health❗). She is very disappointed herself, but things happen in life. Let's look forward to next time 💗
🌸Keiko
So, finally, just one word about the 'Happy Time' I presented💗
Keiko's Happy Time🎵
① What makes me feel the happiest is traveling with my family!
Being moved by seeing the same things, smiling at each other while eating delicious food, and just being together and spending time away from our daily routine is so precious💗
② Alone time!
Reading books, watching movies, practicing the ukulele—that alone time is also an important happy time(⋈◍＞◡＜◍)。✧♡
As one participant mentioned, I realized once again that 'time that feels comfortable to you' is your 'happy time'(*^^)v
The 'Dream💗Consultation Room 2024' magazine is also ready. It includes articles with impressions from those who participated, so please follow it if you'd like✨
What is your 'happy time'?
