Vivid Violet Aura

Join us from 4 to 8 at the shop, we are excited to host Sophie - of Vivid Violet Aura!

“I created this aura photography experience to help you see yourself in a new light (literally!) Using a Polaroid camera and hand sensors, I capture the vibration of your electromagnetic field.

Taking your photo is the easy part; the real divination begins when we uncover the meaning of your aura’s colors and how they change over time, like an elevated mood ring.

This experience is an emotional journey of self-discovery, human connection, and internal reflection. Together, let’s honor the energy you bring to the world!”
