New York City’s Dedicated Sound Meditation Studio.
Deep Rest. Nervous System Reset. Real Clarity.
Find deep rest, in the center of Manhattan.
Amid the city’s chaos, OFFICIAL RITUAL guides your body and mind into calm.
Expert practitioners lead live SOUND sessions that let your nervous system settle — no experience required.
WHAT HAPPENS HERE
SOUND bypasses thought and speaks directly to the nervous system. When your body settles, your mind follows.
-
Unlike talk-based meditation or passive relaxation, meditation with SOUND uses analog vibration and frequency to guide the brain into alpha and theta states — the place where stress dissolves and clarity returns.
NO experience needed.
NO bathing suit or extreme temperatures.
NO effort required.

MASTER PRACTITIONERS
OFFICIAL RITUAL is home to the most respected sound practitioners in New York City. This is not simply their profession — it is their life’s work. Each practitioner has devoted years to mastering the instruments, frequencies, and rituals that make each session unforgettable and transformative.
ONE OF A KIND LOCATION
Escape New York City in the heart of Manhattan. Tucked behind the buildings of Flatiron and Chelsea, our 200-year-old House has lived many lives—once a blacksmith shop, now home to OFFICIAL RITUAL.
Step through the door and into our courtyard, where street noise falls away and you’re guided into calm, release, and deep reset.
OFFICIAL METHOD
SMALL GROUPS
Sessions are designed for small groups, ensuring personal attention for each attendee. Explore deep calm in an introvert-friendly setting, free of phones, technology, + city distractions.
LIVE SOUND
Frequencies, tones, and vibrations are FELT, always played live from instruments like gongs, singing bowls, tuning forks and more. Analog sound resets the nervous system, promoting brainwaves to Alpha + Theta, helping you reach NSDR or non-sleep deep rest.
Even our BREATH classes feature live sound and instruments played by the practitioner.
TEA, AFTER
As is tradition at our house, a casual + curated tea experience is paired post experience, helping you to ground before heading back to your day. Our teas rotate seasonally, selected and supplied by friend, neighbor, + industry tea expert Sebastian Beckwith.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Finally found a place dedicated to real, deal, no fluff sound healing therapy. The space and practitioners honor healing in such a spacious and honorable way (aka not trying to be your guru).
An oasis in Manhattan. This sound bath is definitely a life changing experience that everyone should try. You leave feeling like your energy is completely reset.
...Before this, I had only experienced sound bowls as a small part of yoga or meditation classes — so this was a totally new and immersive experience for me!
