Description
Now Here This uses meditation and news to create a moment of presence and connection with the world. After listening, you’ll have an opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings with other visitors of Now Here This by recording a response through your headset.

People feel overwhelmed and unengaged with the news.

Now Here This responds to today’s chaotic digital news environment. By engaging listeners through an audio-based experience, Now Here This uses meditation and news to unlock greater presence and engagement with what’s going on in the world. Where physical walls typically divide people and digital walls enable hostility, this wall is a physical gathering place and an opportunity to participate in public discourse through recording and listening to the opinions of others.
