Why We’re Gathering: The Heart Behind the So Hum Summer Solstice Celebration

There’s a moment before something becomes real.

Not a plan. Not a spreadsheet. Not a ticket link.

Just a feeling.

For me, it started as a daydream—one of those soft, sun-drenched visions that sneaks in when you’re not trying too hard. I could see us gathered inside the pavilion on a warm June day. Mats laid out in every direction. A low hum of conversation, laughter weaving through the air. People moving together, breathing together. Not performing, not perfecting—just being.
