The space for authentic connection, and romantic possibility.
Join Date Lab to be paired on guided practice dates each month, and attend events, workshops, and webinars.
humhum is a platform and community, that fosters healthier dating experiences through mindful guided blind dates, group events, and coaching online.
Guided 1:1 Blind Dates
As a part of our app membership, we schedule, and facilitate monthly virtual guided dates for members. We find the dates, get them on the books, and facilitate them. All you have to do is show up and be you.
Group Experiences
All of our experiences create opportunities for interaction and connection between attendees. Some of our virtual experiences reimagine speed-dating with mindfulness, movement, play, and guided dialogue to foster meaningful connection with Self and others. Others are educational or topic-driven.
Coaching
Whether you’re dating on or off the humhum platform, do it from a resourced and intentional place. Work 1:1 with a professional guide for a more satisfying dating experience.
Dating done differently.
What’s a group dating experience? Think speed-dating, but slower, and partly silent. Grounded in mindful awareness, and rooted in the shared intention to connect, at humhum we can check our self presentations at the door and offer our presence to others—both in shared silence, and through intentional dialogue. It’ll be just a bunch of humans, being themselves, together.
The humhum experience.
Ground in the self
The group is guided in meditation to bring awareness into the body, and into the present moment. Each group will be between 8-22 people.
Share experience
In group dates and one-on-one breakout sessions, individuals will connect over a playful and meaningful prompt that engages the mind, body and heart that invites you into yourself, and into connection with others.
Exchange words
Each person will have the opportunity to share and be witnessed, as well as listen and hold space. Pairs will share in intentional dialogue as well as open, free-flowing conversation.
Note curiosity
After exchanging with several people, participants will observe internally how they felt with each—perhaps intrigued, inspired, excited, eased (or not) in the presence of another. They’ll privately indicate who they’re drawn to know a layer deeper still. Pairs who privately express mutual interest will be connected following the experience.
Let’s do this dating thing better, together
Trying to start a conversation with a stranger via text and then sustain interest without having a wink of connection? Kinda don’t care anymore? Over swiping through humans like they’re T-shirts? Cool, us too! Let’s meet.
We believe that the dating process should feel less like managing a human sales funnel, and more like reuniting with an old friend coincidentally on a street corner in a foreign country—delightful, intriguing, and authentic.
We feel you and want to get to know you. We believe that dating asks you to bring just as much curiosity about yourself as you do about another.
We believe that dating is not just about the outcome but also the process—this scene needs a better one. We don’t believe it’s a numbers game. We believe it’s about bringing your whole self to the table, being open, and enjoying! Phew. Glad we named that.
Love from participants
“humhum is a safe space to meet likeminded people.”
“humhum creates a shortcut to authenticity that is otherwise unavailable. We are stuck in our patterned responses, and the prompts humhum offers push me to reflect, and surprise myself with my own answers, which feels great.”
“The eye contact felt calming and allowed me to feel seen.”
“A much needed alternative to online dating. What an incredible experience to connect with people in this way.”
“What a beautiful experience to have this organic human connection.”
“I enjoyed the meditation and centering before getting into everything. I enjoyed the time limitation. I enjoyed having to think about the prompt and that the prompt steered both of us away from the same boring spiel we all give over and over again about ourselves on first dates. I love what humhum is doing!”
“It’s a perfect way to meet people, and keep it mindful and sacred.”
“I left feeling more calm and grounded than when I came. It was a nice break from life in New York.”
