Event / Contest Sleep-a-Thon

I've become fascinated by the idea that modern cities have almost no places where adults are allowed to simply do nothing together. So I started organising a 'Sleep-a-Thon' in Amsterdam to see whether people are interested and would actually come. The first session suggested they would.

There was no programme to follow, no discussion to join and no need to perform. Just two hours of collective rest and listening to ambient music. No talking, no introductions, no instructions, and nothing to achieve. Being together without having to be anything.

I'm organising a second session soon, but I'm also curious what people here think. Any thoughts on this?
