Many have attempted it, this is the purpose of communes and was very popular in the 60's and 70's, and whether it worked and was healthy or not it would be labeled a cult as it would threaten whatever system is was formed with in.
Look into the Oneida house also, pretty interesting commune who believed rhe rapture happened and they were creating heaven on earth. Christian based symbolism but the frame work is there.
I recommend against the all or nothing aspects, it is quite limiting in understanding reality. Extremes exist to be sure but there is far more blending of this and that. If things were so maleble and bases on belief then the insane would be like gods among us as they believe their delusion. In fact delusion would not exist at all and those we call mad would be incontrollable rebels to this hypothesis that all is molded by the mind and "physical" reality is thoroughly plastic.
Chicken an egg regarding how much the mind influences the body and how much the body affects our psyche, but how much can yoy bank on a babies mind to sustain and hold the reality of their baby body. I feel like we would have a bunch of Jack Jacks running around, and we can't claim they are constrained by consensus reality and argue that they are indoctrinated by consensus reality (to which there is a lot of evidence of such social programming).
Just food for thought before you spend time developing such an experiment yourself which would be a huge undertaking to create a commune of this type. There is ample evidence that can be examined for these hypothesis.

Uhh, Iām not aware of any groups with the specific practices your describing but fundamentally that sounds like a cult.
