SLEEP-IN GONG CONCERT · ZURICH

SLEEP-IN GONG CONCERT · ZURICH

A night of deep rest, meditation and vivid dreams.

Inspired by the traditional Gong Puja, the Sleep-In Gong Concert opens a space for an entire night immersed in sound.

We begin the evening together with a tea ceremony, taking time to arrive, connect, settle into the space and set our intention for the night. From there, we move through gentle practices of movement, breath and voice, preparing the body and opening the listening before the night begins. Then, lying comfortably on your mattress, you can listen, meditate, rest, dream or sleep while the gongs are played softly for 7.5 hours.

Throughout the night, Ana Sonar, Alejandro Notz and Fabio Vescarelli take turns playing, each bringing their own sensitivity and presence into a flow of sound that unfolds until morning.

The extended duration is at the heart of the Gong Puja tradition. Seven and a half hours of playing correspond, in duration, to ten 45-minute Gong Baths — yet the experience is not simply a succession of shorter sessions. The sound accompanies the whole arc of the night, through changing states of wakefulness, rest and sleep. As attention moves in and out, our relationship with listening can gradually shift, and the gongs may enter the background of dreams as naturally as waking perception.

As the hours pass, the experience can take on a sense of depth and suspension. The gongs unfold through the space in long waves, enveloping the body and creating a feeling of immersion. At times the sound may feel close and vivid; at others, distant and almost weightless, as if moving through different layers of depth between presence, sleep and dreaming.

Participants may experience:

✨ Release of physical and emotional tension  
✨ Greater clarity and vivid dreams  
✨ Deep rest and inner calm  
✨ A stronger connection with the inner observer

By morning, what remains is not only the sound itself, but the space it has opened — in the body, in perception and in silence.

As the gongs gradually come to rest, we leave time to wake slowly, integrate the night and return to the day.

A whole night to listen differently.

The ceremony will take place in the large room at flow60, a warm and welcoming space in Zollikerberg.
