down etc was delighted to be invited to participate in a one-of-a-kind experience in New York City this fall, The Aura Sanctuary NYC Experience. It’s a pop-up created by the team at Auratherapy to lead guests on a chakra journey through scent, sound, touch, and intention.

An Immersive Journey into Deeper Rest, Rejuvenation, and Mindful Living

The pop-up is an immersive journey through seven rooms, each room containing an activation representing one of the seven chakras. Guests will move through the activations offered in each room, beginning with the aura & chakra assessment.

1.     What is The Aura Sanctuary NYC Experience?

In its simplest terms, the pop-up is a series of rooms, each room providing an activation of one of your seven chakras. The activations include aura & chakra assessment, art & oracle, tarot & archetypes, heart chakra reiki massage, frequency of creation, dream & meditation, and intuitive guidance.  Each activation is supported by a set of Auratherapy’s aromatherapeutic scents designed to support that chakra.

2.     Who Are the Aura Sanctuary Practitioners?

At the heart of the Aura Sanctuary Pop-Up are the incredible healers, teachers, and guides who bring their energy, wisdom, and gifts to our community. Each practitioner has a unique story rooted in their journey of self-discovery, the chakras they resonate with, and the healing practices they’ve cultivated. Through these conversations, they invite visitors to get to know them on a deeper level and discover how their presence shapes the sanctuary experience.

3.     When and Where?

Located in a beautiful brownstone in Greenwich Village, this truly sensational experience will take place from Thursday through Sunday, from 11 AM to 7 PM, on the weekends beginning Thursday, October 15, and ending Sunday, November 10.

Following the 333 Journey through all the activations takes approximately 2 hours. Guests can also select a 1:1 customized session in one of the activations for 30 minutes.

4.     How Is down etc Partnering in the Experience?

down etc’s room reflects the sixth chakra, the Third Eye chakra. Visitors will step into our meditation-inspired sanctuary designed to activate their inner vision and help them to transform their bedtime routine into a powerful wellness ritual. Here, they’ll explore:

• Guided moments of stillness and sound to calm the mind
• A mesmerizing galaxy meditation to awaken the Third Eye chakra
• Luxurious textures, robes, pillows, and sleep accessories to engage your senses

The the third eye chakra is supported by the scents of frankincense, holy basil, myrrh, and spikenard, a combination to use when you are overthinking or feeling scattered and desire to boost focus and clarity. The experience is designed to share rituals guests can take home to improve their own bedtime routines. This unique collaboration is an invitation to experience the art of sleep and self-care in a whole new way.
