From Canyon Ranch to Miami's Vibe & Glow Event Series

What happens when sound healing, aromatherapy, and chakra work converge in the Arizona desert? The answer inspired an entire year of transformative wellness experiences.

The Magic of Connection at AWAKEN

This November, Auratherapy had the honor of participating in Canyon Ranch Tucson's AWAKEN Yoga & Movement Festival—a feel-good weekend of movement and recovery featuring top instructors from across the country. From November 13-17, wellness practitioners and seekers gathered in the inspiring Sonoran Desert landscape for a dynamic mix of fitness classes, from yoga and sculpt to spin, dance, and sound healing.

For us, one connection stood out as particularly powerful: meeting Kyle Lam, a wellness practitioner whose dedication to sound bath meditation and holistic healing perfectly embodies the integrative approach we champion at Auratherapy.

Kyle's expertise in curating transformative sound experiences that guide participants into meditative states—strengthening their connection with mind, body, and spirit—resonated deeply with our mission. Watching him work with gongs, crystal bowls, and other healing instruments, we witnessed firsthand how vibrational sound healing creates the ideal foundation for the aromatherapy and energy work we offer.

The synergy was undeniable. Kyle now has all seven of our chakra oil blends to incorporate into his incredible healing practice, and we're excited to see how sound and scent will weave together in his future sessions.

Vibe & Glow™ Takes Center Stage

At the festival, Miami-based yoga teacher Tammi Theodore led our signature Vibe & Glow™ experience—introducing yoga teachers and practitioners to our proprietary aromatherapy protocol. Through a carefully designed sequence of movement, breathwork, and chakra-based scent rituals, participants experienced how our organic perfume oil blends support vibrational healing and energy work.

The response was extraordinary.

Guests moved through sacral and crown chakra intentions, experienced guided meditations infused with our chakra oils, and witnessed how aromatherapy can deepen their existing practices. Yoga teachers left with new tools to enhance their classes. Wellness seekers discovered a multi-sensory approach to healing they'd never experienced before.

Throughout the weekend, our team also offered:

•       Aura Readings that provided personalized insights into guests' energetic states

•       Chakra Energy Transformations using our seven-oil system

•       Pop-up scent experiences at our activation booth

Every interaction reinforced what we already knew: people are hungry for wellness experiences that honor multiple healing modalities. When we bring together sound, scent, breath, and movement, we create something truly transformative.

"Our hosts at Canyon Ranch Tucson continue to demonstrate their commitment to creating world-class wellness experiences. We're so proud to be part of the amazing talent here for this inaugural yoga event—and to see how our traveling troupe has grown from our NY Aura Sanctuary team to now include Tammi and the Vibe & Glow offering."

— Laura McCann, Founder & CEO, Auratherapy

The Inspiration Behind What's Next

Standing in the desert, surrounded by world-class wellness practitioners and engaged seekers, we felt the confirmation of something we've been building toward: the power of consistent, community-centered wellness experiences.

Canyon Ranch Tucson—along with our partnerships at Four Seasons and Exhale—has shown us that people don't just want products. They want experiences. They want community. They want to be part of something larger than themselves, something that supports their journey toward alignment and well-being.

But this realization didn't happen overnight. It's been building throughout an extraordinary year.

Auratherapy 2025: A Year of Transformation

The Canyon Ranch AWAKEN Festival was the culminating moment in what can only be described as a transformative year for Auratherapy. In 2025, we hosted over 60 events spanning Miami, Asheville, Los Angeles, New York City, Austin, Charlotte, Newport Coast, Lenox MA, and Tucson. From intimate in-store workshops to major wellness festivals and luxury spa partnerships, we deepened our presence in the wellness community while expanding into new markets.

Q1: Building Momentum

The year launched with the Second Annual Tarot Congress in Coral Gables and the beginning of our Chakra Workshop Series—a seven-part journey through the energy centers that became a cornerstone of our in-store programming. Early partnerships with prestigious venues like St. Andrews Country Club and Four Seasons The Spa at The Surf Club established Auratherapy's presence in Miami's luxury wellness landscape.

We were testing. Learning. Listening to what our community needed.

Q2: Expanding Reach

Spring brought significant growth with participation in the Yoga Expo South Florida and our month-long Well + Good collaboration at House of Good in Venice, California. The Chakra Workshop Series continued with Solar Plexus and Heart Chakra workshops, while events like the Solares Gems Summer Solstice celebration strengthened community partnerships.

Notable moments included the Explore AVL showcase at the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Asheville and private VIP experiences at Four Seasons residences. Each event taught us more about how people wanted to engage with chakra work, aromatherapy, and energy healing.

Q3: Coast to Coast

Summer and early fall brought our most intensive event season yet. The Love, Shine, Play festival in Asheville (July 25-27) brought together a full team for three days of aura readings and wellness experiences. September was particularly robust with the Arch Amenities Group tradeshow, BITE Tradeshow in NYC, and the Illuminate Mystic Soul Festival at Canyon Ranch Lenox.

The Chakra Workshop Series concluded with Throat, Third Eye, and Crown Chakra workshops—completing the full energetic journey we'd begun in Q1. New partnerships launched including the Wynwood Plaza Residence event and collaborations with SoHo House Miami, proving that luxury hospitality spaces were hungry for the experiences we offered.

Q4: Closing Strong

The final quarter featured signature activations that validated everything we'd been building: the NYC Aura Sanctuary Pop-Up (October 16-November 9) in Greenwich Village, the Moodzee Face Value conference in Austin, and of course, the AWAKEN Yoga & Movement Festival at Canyon Ranch Tucson.

December culminated with the Resonance Art Basel experience and luxury partnerships at Four Seasons Surf City—a powerful close to a year of exponential growth.

What We Learned

Across 60+ events in nine markets, working with venues from Four Seasons properties to Canyon Ranch locations, SoHo House to premium spas and our flagship retail stores, we discovered several truths:

1.    People crave consistent community experiences – One-off events are memorable, but ongoing programming builds loyalty and deeper transformation

2.    Integration is everything – The most powerful moments happened when we combined multiple modalities: sound + scent, movement + aromatherapy, aura readings + chakra education

3.    Luxury wellness spaces need experiential programming – Hotels, spas, and clubs are seeking partners who can deliver transformative guest experiences

4.    The Chakra Workshop Series works – Completing the seven-chakra journey in 2025 proved this framework resonates deeply with seekers

Most importantly, we learned that Auratherapy has evolved beyond being a product brand. We are an experience brand. A community brand. A transformation brand.

Which brings us to 2026.

"Since the beginning of time, humans have gathered in sacred circles to remember who they are. When a space is curated with intention, a gathering becomes a portal—where truth returns, the body exhales, and every person walks away more whole and more powerful than they arrived."

— Damkianna, Private Council Advisor, Creative Director & Ceremonialist www.damkianna.com

This truth—that intentional gathering creates portals for transformation—is the foundation of what we're building next.

Why This Matters

The wellness industry thrives when practitioners collaborate rather than compete. Our experience at Canyon Ranch—connecting with Kyle Lam, working alongside talented instructors, and witnessing the power of integrated modalities—reinforced our belief that the future of wellness lies in community-centered, multi-sensory experiences.

"2025 taught us that people don't just want products—they want experiences, community, and to be part of something larger than themselves. The Vibe & Glow Event Series is our answer to what the wellness community has been asking for: consistent, transformative touchpoints throughout the year."

— Laura McCann, Founder & CEO, Auratherapy

The Vibe & Glow Event Series is our answer to what the wellness community has been asking for:

• ✨ Consistency – Regular touchpoints throughout the year
• ✨ Community – A space to connect with like-minded seekers
• ✨ Education – Deep dives into chakra work, aromatherapy, and energy healing
• ✨ Experience – Not just products, but transformative moments
• ✨ Accessibility – Multiple price points and event types

Just as Canyon Ranch created a container for wellness practitioners to share their gifts, we're creating that same container in Miami—a place where sound healing meets aromatherapy, where movement meets meditation, where community meets transformation.

Building More Than Events

Each Vibe & Glow experience serves as both a physical gathering and an entry point into the Auratherapy digital ecosystem. We're building ongoing engagement through:

•       Instagram Community – Shared experiences and interactive storytelling

•       Retail Integration – Continued support for your wellness journey through our Miami flagship store

Before our January 11 launch, we'll be activating our community with a New Year's Challenge designed to set intentions and build momentum for The Awakening.

From Desert to Ocean

What began in the Arizona desert—the connection with Kyle, the successful Vibe & Glow™ sessions with Tammi, the aura readings and chakra transformations—is now expanding into a full year of community wellness experiences in Miami.

Canyon Ranch Tucson showed us what's possible when wellness practitioners come together with intention. The AWAKEN Festival reminded us that people are ready for experiences that honor the whole person—mind, body, spirit, and senses.

Now, we're bringing that same energy home.

The Vibe & Glow Event Series isn't just about hosting events. It's about building a community. It's about creating consistent spaces for transformation. It's about proving that when we combine sound, scent, breath, and movement, we unlock deeper pathways for healing.

The awakening begins January 11, 2026. Get your tickets now.
