We contemplate the soothing power of words, the flavors and scents that beckon us to unwind, and the calming influence of repetitive actions like chopping.

​

In the immersive 2-hour hybrid event that took place in Berlin, Zurich, Vienna, and online, we aimed to defy the ceaseless pace of society by embracing rest as an act of resistance.

 

Through guided psychosomatic exercises, we collectively decelerate, savor the act of communal dining, and gently remind one another to breathe.

There was a note that we sent to all participants and guests: If you possess a resting score, a soothing sound, or a restful ritual you’d like to contribute, we encouraged them to bring it along.
