About this event

When was the last time you did nothing? No scrolling, no TV while eating, no podcast while walking... You get the point.
And no, nighttime sleeping doesn't count. You're unconscious for that. We mean awake, with nothing to do and nobody needing anything from you.
THIS IS A SPACE TO DO NOTHING.
Two hours horizontal with blankets, music, and your phone locked  in a box.
👉 PLEASE be on time (15:00 - 15:15 arrival window) to enjoy the full experience of this event.
🌈DRESS CODE: to get the most of this event bring or come in cozy, soft clothing. Wear good socks ;) because you might want to leave your shoes at the door.
👌 BRING: a cuddle toy, blanket or/an pillow to fully relax and go horizontal if you choose so. We have soft carpets you can lay on.
🌈December 6th PROGRAM:
Doors open - find your spot, say hi to a stranger, settle in (15min)
Intro to the event + how to actually switch off, because most people can't do it on command. We promise it's not a Ted Talk (10min)
Short guided meditation to drop you in the zone and out of your head (20min)
100 min of DOING NOTHING!
*If that's too challenging - you can read.
👉 Curated mid tempo playlists for your ears and soul ;)
👉 The last stretch supported by 🎹 a live chill piano set by TBA
Coming back slowly. Stay lying down (10min)
Open floor - guided conversation around phone use, rest and whatever came up in the quiet. Then we stop steering and you hang out, make friends, connect with other beautiful queers (35min)
👌 That's two hours horizontal, meditation included.
👉 We finish at 18:00 on the dot, but our space and the cafe stays open till late so stay on if you're not done.
👉 Do I need to be queer to come? No. The host is queer, the events are for everyone, allies are welcome!
💶 Please bring a physical card with you to pay for your drinks/snacks, as you won’t have access to your phone till the end of the event
🎟️ If you can't make it, please forward your ticket to a friend - we have no refund policy.
