What are Private Group Aura Parties?
A Private Group Aura Parties is a hosted group experience where your group reserves exclusive time at The Open Aura studio. Guests can have individual aura photos taken while enjoying time together in the space, creating a shared experience that feels intentional, personal, and comfortable.
These events are designed to feel more like a gathering than a scheduled appointment.
Ideal for Groups and Celebrations
Private Group Aura Parties work well for a wide range of gatherings, including group celebrations, milestone moments, creative meetups, wellness-focused events, and pre-wedding groups looking for a meaningful shared experience before the wedding day.
The experience is flexible and welcoming, making it accessible for groups with a mix of familiarity and curiosity around aura photography.
How Private Events Work
When you book a Private Group Aura Parties, your group receives exclusive access to The Open Aura studio in downtown Traverse City for a reserved period of time. Guests are welcomed into the space, aura photos are captured throughout the event, and there is time to relax, connect, and enjoy the experience together.
Events are paced to feel natural and unhurried, allowing each guest to participate at their own comfort level.
