Healer :: Practitioner Gatherings
Living in Color empowers each participant to embrace a deeper meaning of color and the roles it plays in their daily lived experience. Each participant will sit for an aura portrait and learn through the history of color, how one can interpret their aura. Together we will explore key scientific terms surrounding energy bodies, energy fields and aura photography. We will practice the power of sight with eye exercises that encourage our abilities to see auras on ourselves, others, and trees. Together we will review the historic associations behind the meaning of each color and apply this to reading our aura portraits. We can clear our energetic fields and strengthen our auras through multiple means and together we will practice a few of these modalities. Not only does each participant take home their own aura portrait but a list of resources to empower their journey to continue with living in color.

About the Forest Still: Forest Aura Project
In 2024 The Forest Still: Forest Aura project was created with the intention to connect with people in nature through taking an aura portrait that documents the sitter's authentic and undisturbed energetic frequency. For this purpose, a site specific A-frame in the woods was built with the exact specifications needed to take the portrait. The studio sits along a stone ridge that parallels the Kaaterskill creek outside the town of Catskill. There I use a Coggins AuraCamera 6000 that is hooked up to a solar generator. The camera uses hand sensors to take in data, picking up subtle information between acupressure points of the palms that correspond to the heart, throat, and crown energetic bodies. The system compares each hand to register the subject’s auric field which is then revealed through double exposure onto the subjects portrait. With Forest Aura my aim is to awaken each visitor to the awareness of their own power and realize that nature is integral to our energetic livelihood and ability be our highest self.
