The Manhattan Mystics

An Urban Pilgrimage of Astrology, Art, and Living Myth

Manhattan Mystics is an immersive three-day journey through the symbolic and mythic layers of New York City. I designed this experience for seekers who sense the city as a living oracle and want to experience astrology and the Akashic field in real time. Across curated walks, workshops, ritual pauses, and shared meals, we will learn how to read place, pattern, and timing with our whole being.

For those joining the Solstice Retreat at Omega Institute, Manhattan Mystics is a powerful precursor: a way to arrive attuned, inspired, and already in community before we travel up the Hudson together. Manhattan Mystics also stands fully on its own as a complete NYC pilgrimage, with no requirement to attend Omega.

Across curated walks, workshops, ritual pauses, and shared meals, we will learn how to read place, pattern, and timing with our whole being. The journey begins with arrival and attunement through NYC's oldest metaphysical shop, Enchantments,  visit and the New York Public Library's Rose Reading Room, a sky-ceilinged "temple of Mercury" where we land in reverent quiet, set intentions, and let the city’s symbols start speaking.  Our first evening  will conclude with a welcome dinner with NYC astrologers.      

Day two brings activation through a workshop with Amir Bey, then the Oracle Trail, a guided journey through Manhattan as a divinatory landscape. Rest and nourishment create integration space, followed by dinner at Becco and a Broadway evening with Hadestown - mythical quest of Orpheus, where contemporary myth and collective imagination take the stage.

Day three turns inward at the Rubin Museum with Shrine Room integration, then closes with brunch and shared travel by train to Omega.

Manhattan Mystics offers a beautiful way to extend your retreat, experience deeply mystical communion, and set the field for our Solstice gathering at the Omega Institute. Attendees may join Manhattan Mystics whether or not they are attending the Omega Institute retreat.
