I meditate all the time so I figured I give sound meditation a try for the first time. Loved it! I found it much easier to fall into the zone and focus with the help of the sound as cue to bring my thoughts back to my breath. The various sounds that are played throughout the session give a feeling of a journey during my enhanced meditation, making it much more enjoyable. The space itself immediately puts you into a calmed state as soon as you enter with a cute, welcoming vibe and just the right amount light and charm. The staff were also lovely and warm. Going to definitely send some of my patients here who are looking to start their meditative journey.
A Transformative Oasis in NYC I’ve been coming to Official Ritual for over a year, and it has been truly life-changing. I first found it during a difficult time, and it’s become an anchor for my spiritual, mental, and emotional health. The moment you walk in, you’re transported out of the hustle of NYC into a calm, welcoming sanctuary. I go to Molly’s Tuesday night sound baths—her voice and the instruments are absolutely transformative. Each session is different, and I always leave feeling more relaxed, aligned, and renewed. The community here is just as special. From the kind staff to the amazing people who attend, it’s a space filled with warmth and acceptance. Official Ritual has done an incredible job of creating a truly restorative experience—I can’t recommend it enough.
Wow - what an amazing place! I had my bachelorette party start with a sound bath and it was the perfect beginning to a weekend with my people. Organizing the group event was super easy, and Amrit, who hosted the sound bath, is absolutely wonderful. It was very special and grounding!
It was a very healing experience from the get-go. From the welcome I received, from the calm atmosphere before the ritual began... It was just wonderful. I left refreshed and peaceful. Which is exactly what I wanted and needed. Go here, see for yourself, you will NOT regret it.
Official Ritual is such a special spot! The sound meditations are incredibly relaxing and always leave me feeling calm and recharged. The space has such good energy, and you can really feel the care that goes into every detail.
What a treasure in the middle of NYC! I felt very connected to earth in this 200 year old home on the ground level. I enjoyed the shamanic sound bath with Yuj, who has an incredible voice and sound style. A very special experience! Thank you
This was definitely a very new and unique experience for me. It was my first time meditating and experiencing the sound bath. It was a fun experience. The sounds were very nice and I felt relaxed. I was taken aback by the gongs at first because my ears are super sensitive but then you sink into it. I loved most of it. And there are varying sounds which is nice. There were a couple that I was really vibing with. The instructor started playing a musical instrument, humming and singing a song which was unexpected but fine. I only wasn’t super crazy about the lyrics of the song so I think it could be ideal to keep with instrumentals. A couple of people started snoring which broke my relaxation here and there. We are a group after all so I get it. I would just recommend preventing that if possible with a gentle tap. I really enjoyed the meditation! Would love to go back.
