We cannot guarantee space for walk-ins.
Last minute decision? No problem - you can still check availability + sign up online right before a session.
We're located at 112 West 17th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan. Our space is tucked away and easy to miss. Look for black gate marked "The House" on the downtown side of 17th street, directly across from West Elm. After booking, you'll get an email and text with detailed instructions.
Our space is open only to registered individuals.
We do not, at this time, offer an open meditation room for walk-ins.
While comfort is key, you can arrive exactly as you are - from work or before your evening plans.
We are a shoeless space so please plan accordingly. Socks or barefoot are your preference.
Our space opens 15 minutes before the start time of each session. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before the start time of your session to get settled.
No, you can't use your phone here.
At check-in, we'll help you secure your phone in a signal blocking locked pouch, which you'll keep possession of during your visit.
No phones, photos, video, or content creation is allowed in our space. This rule is in place to not disturb the experience of others.
At our space, you will never be filmed, photographed, or recorded (by the practitioner or other attendees) during your journey of meditation and release.
Personal items (including your locked phone) can remain with you during your visit.
Shoes are not permitted in the main room.
We do not have lockers.
As is tradition at The House, you're invited to post-ritual tea in the kitchen while you ground, come back to your body, and chat with new friends.
All individuals must be over the age of 18, unless accompanied by a parent or adult. Breathwork is suitable only for adults over 18. Sound baths are suitable for children over the age of 13.
While we love our pets, it is complicated for us to accommodate service animals for public sessions. Since most of our sessions include sounds, this can be disturbing to some animals and therefore disrupt the experience for others.
If you would like to bring your service animal, we recommend a private experience. Kindly message us at house@officialritual.com to discuss more.
We're a small, local business with an intimate space.
Please reference the booking page for your session's specific cancellation policy details.
To cancel, message us at house@officialritual.com.
To prevent disturbing others mid-meditation, arrivals more than 5 minutes late will NOT be admitted inside The House. Our gate code automatically shuts off 5 minutes into every session.
Arrivals more than 5 minutes late will be considered a no-show and lose their credit.
If you need to late cancel, kindly let us know so we can take someone off the waitlist.
We do not offer spa services, beauty treatments, therapies, showers, saunas, cold plunges, saunas, or lockers.
Sessions may occasionally include light movement at the discretion of the practitioner. All fitness levels and body types are welcome.
If you join the waitlist you'll be automatically added should someone drop 12 hours before the session. If space becomes available within 12 hours of the session, you'll get a text to confirm you still want the spot. After confirming with us, we'll book you in and your card on file will be charged.
Though The House is quite old, our main space and restroom are wheelchair accessible. Chairs are available in lieu of floor mats for a seated meditation. Earplugs are available for those with tinnitus. For guests with questions or special access requirements, please contact us at house@officialritual.com or 212-933-0825 ahead of your visit.
We are a space for healing + community.
We believe that everyone deserves to reset + reconnect regardless of background, identity, ideals, expression, or perspective. The challenging work of being human is to see the light of good in our neighbors despite external differences.
