humhum/ Collaborate: For Teams
humhum designs and facilitates virtual team experiences that foster connection to self and others for well-being.
A facilitated immersive experience
We bring your organization or team together through a professionally facilitated, immersive, two-hour virtual connection experience hosted on a video platform, or upon request, in person.
This novel, invigorating, and calming virtual experience evokes embodiment, and allows individuals to tap in to parts of the brain that are underutilized throughout the workday. A great mid-day or post-work refresh.
an opportunity for reciprocal connection
We use a custom private matching form for participants to indicate their intentions for further connection with others they meet. Following the experience, we connect people who reciprocally want to remain connected.
Practices between team members will include guided conscious dialogue, storytelling, and playful exchanges borrowed from the worlds of design-thinking and improv to evoke lighthearted, creative mind states.
deepen connections beyond the experience
humhum supports those with reciprocal connections to engage beyond the virtual experience and reconnect with one another by offering guidelines and prompts. We center this around engaging with your organization in person or virtually.
Continue CULtivating well-being
We offer take-away meditations and breath practices for participants to continue practicing for their well-being beyond the experience.
humhum combines expertise in design-thinking, insight meditation, mindfulness, breathwork, and yoga to offer a playful and meaningful way for employees to experience a sense of connectedness, care, and community.
What makes a humhum experience?
A Safe Container
Feeling safe is essential for meaningful connection. We set the tone with guiding agreements, and participants are led by facilitators through an experience of connection, both to themselves and to one another.
Mindfulness Practice
Self-awareness makes for authentic connection. Facilitators weave in breath practices, and mindfulness to slow things down and point the group inward so each person is in touch with what is arising in their experience.
Intentional Exchange
Each person has an opportunity to share and be heard. We keep time, so each person can stay connected to themself. It goes against our familiar conversational tendencies to just share or just listen without interruption. This form of exchange creates more space in the conversation for us to watch our own mind and body as we engage with others.
Meaningful Connection
Through our experience in design-thinking and corporate innovation, we design engagement exercises that lead to meaningful and expansive discussion and a sense of connection between people.
"My favorite moments were a lot of little things. The whole structure of the experience. How it repeatedly brought us back to a calm present state between [breakout room connections]. The unusual nature of the prompts provoking a different type of conversation other than the wrote standards; maybe it was just my group but everyone was very open, positive, and actually seemed happy to be here. Alexandra’s facilitation and way of speaking helped to create a really nice environment even over zoom. I felt so many little moments of joy in the experience. I particularly liked the movement mirroring activity, it was very fun and surprising how much of a connection it created in the moment. [humhum was] very different from the kind of thing I would normally do."

"We are usually so pushed to commodify each other so it was quite a happy shock to be reminded and incentivized to treat each other as humans first and foremost. It seems basic but it is such a game changer. I also loved the encouragement to be really intentional about our interactions and choices—kindness is a much better place to build from."
-Niveen S., San Francisco
"I really liked the format. It was nice to have questions or things to do to spark the conversation. I also like the way we took time to center throughout. It was one of the best [virtual] experiences I’ve ever done."
-Kim C., San Francisco
"At humhum I experienced really thought provoking dialogue with attention to how I was responding to folks and what sort of tendencies I have in conversation. This made the whole experience an opportunity to deepen my connection with myself.”
-Ellie P., Los Angeles
"I really appreciated the movement and moments to breathe. I also found it super useful to have fun but straight-forward prompts in the breakout rooms. It made conversation easy and way more unique than the usual "so, what do you do for a living" nonsense where we center capitalism rather than self.”
-Denise O., New York
