​
​
Our Location
Located in Central Harlem, New York (Manhattan), our facility is a private location accessible to virtually all major public transportation (primarily 2, 3, A, B, C, and D Trains). The intimate classroom setting accommodates 20 participants and features high-speed wi-fi. The classroom is wired for live web streaming. The address of the private location is given to registrants who attend the sessions in-person.
​
​
Live Web Streaming
While our classroom limits the number of participants to around 20, it also serves as a three-camera, high-definition studio. All classes are streamed live via our website for registered students. We have worked diligently to ensure online participants an interactive experience which allows them to interact with other participants and the instructor. For best results, students should also utilize a high-speed internet service. Registered participants will also have temporary access to recorded sessions within 48 hours.

​
Affordable
While we intend to ensure the financial viability of the Institute, one of our major objectives is to allow wide access to our courses. We have priced our courses at approximately $35 per class. Weekly payments are available. Substantial discounts are available for participants who pay enrollment fees upfront and for those who become premium members. Additionally many courses provide access to digital versions of required texts via our website. Similar courses taught at local colleges are more than 20X our costs!
​
Practical and Comprehensive
The Ma'at Institute's primary goal is to make the esoteric wisdom of the ancients available for use in our contemporary lives. All courses are taught from a rigorous but practical perspective. Additionally, course topics have been carefully selected from both "concrete" areas such as history and esoteric knowledge such as sacred geometry. This approach is based on the Ancient Kemetic concept of "Smai Tawi", which translates roughly a "union between the two regions". While this phrase is generally translated to refer to the establishment of the nation of Kemet as two separate nations were unified, the Kemetic people also used it to describe complex spiritual and philosophical concepts. Smai Tawi best describes the Institute's left/right brain educational strategy.
