About Us
The space to stop, pause and hear yourself again
Meditation for the modern mind. Launched in Gothenburg in 2018.
We aim to give everyone the chance to develop a healthy relationship with their mind. Which means offering people the opportunity, the time and the space to tune out the noise of daily life. To support this, we offer classes, courses, corporate programs, individual coaching and events. We are open to everyone and offer programs for all levels as well as custom business courses to suit the needs of your team.
As a center of wellbeing and conscious living, our team is dedicated to creating programs for today’s visionaries and leaders who aim to cultivate success, expand creativity, and to live an abundant, awakened and conscious life.
At The NOW, we believe this journey begins by going within. The expansion through self-reflection and meditation provides the foundations for perfect health, fruitful relationships, a thriving workplace, personal success and a life of fulfillment.

Norvy & Tara
Norvy Brandin
Norvy is a certified International ICC-Coach, Chopra Meditation Instructor and transformational coach working with businesses and individuals since 2007. He began his career as a championship speedway racer. In 2010 launched his creative production agency, NB Communication.
During his time as a speedway racer, Norvy became very familiar with dealing directly with fear. It was during one of his races, he was propelled into a moment of absolute “stillness”, where everything moved in slow motion. This experience stayed with him for years. He began to seek the explanation of this “stillness”. First, he learned to meditate. Norvy has studied under numerous world-renowned mystics and spiritual teachers, including Ram Dass, one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time and author of “Be Here Now”. He also has studied with Dr. Deepak Chopra, holistic health guru and NY Times best selling author with whom Norvy received his certification to teach Primordial Sound Meditation at The Chopra Center in Carlsbad California.
