Do knowledge workers do something like 'collective thinking sessions'?

eg. A 2 hour session where you have an agenda for discussion/thinking a topic:

First 30m: Discussing potential questions, fallbacks, etc.
1hr: deep thinking work in silence
Last 30m: Discussion and review

I would think this format works really well, especially in CKM environments which is what Roam is advocating for (the digital version of this session)

(currently thinking of more ways to get into that environment where I'm compelled to naturally deep dive into topics etc.)

I'm under the firm belief that with proper controlled conditions, you can broaden angles in thinking about something depending on number of people involved:

Solo in private: chaotic freedom
Collective sessions: Conversational insight
Thinking in public: According to the world

A mix of them in moderation is a good 'insight diet'.

eg. I don't want to depend too much on thinking in public because I'll be too influenced by external sources to come up with synthesised knowledge that contains my own signature

And too much private has too many assumptions

Maybe I could set something up and make it a small closed event hmm
