About this Experience
What you'll do:
Settle into Pine & Prism's warm downtown Bend studio, sit for your individual aura portrait, and walk away with a printed photo and a personal color reading that actually tells you something.
Sit for your aura portrait – You'll be photographed using Soma Lumin technology, which captures the energetic color field surrounding you in real time and renders it as a vivid, printable image.
Receive your color reading – A trained guide interprets the specific hues in your photo and explains what they may reflect about your energy, mood, and intentions at this moment.
Take home your print – Every guest leaves with a full-color aura photograph printed on-site — a tangible keepsake that's genuinely unlike anything else in your souvenir drawer.
Capture the group portrait – Optionally, your whole crew can sit together for a collective aura photo, showing how your energies blend and overlap as a group.
Sip tea and compare notes – Between sessions, settle in with a cup of tea and swap reactions — the readings have a way of sparking real conversation.
Whether you're in Bend for a bachelorette, a birthday, or just a weekend with your people, this 30-minute session turns curiosity into a colorful, surprisingly personal experience — one you'll actually remember.
Why we love it for your group:
Photogenic and shareable – Aura portraits are visually striking and personal, making them the kind of content your group will actually post — not just screenshot and forget.
No experience needed – The session is fully guided; guests don't need to know anything about auras, energy, or wellness to get a meaningful reading.
Flexible group size – There's no cap on group size, so whether you're four friends or a 20-person retreat, everyone gets their own session and print.
Downtown Bend location – The studio sits on NW Bond St in the heart of downtown, making it easy to pair with dinner, a wine bar, or more Bend adventures.
Real keepsake, not just a memory – Everyone leaves holding their printed photo — not a screenshot, not a digital file you'll lose — a physical piece of the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is aura photography, exactly?
Aura photography uses biofeedback sensors to measure your energy field and translate it into color through a specialized camera system called Soma Lumin. The result is a one-of-a-kind portrait showing the energetic colors around you in that moment — like mood meets magic.
Do I need to believe in anything for it to “work”?
Not at all. Aura photography is part art, part reflection. You can approach it scientifically, spiritually, or simply for fun. However you come in, it’s about pausing long enough to see yourself in a new light.
How long does it take?
Each session lasts about 20 minutes per person, which includes your photo and a personalized color interpretation. For groups, plan on roughly 20 minutes per guest so everyone has time to enjoy their reading without feeling rushed.
Can we do a group photo?
Yes! We can capture individual aura portraits and a shared group aura that shows your collective energy. It’s a favorite for friends, couples, and creative teams.
What do we receive afterward?
Each guest receives a printed aura photo and a brief color interpretation. You’ll learn what each hue represents — from grounded greens to radiant golds — and can also purchase a digital version if you’d like to share online.

How should we prepare?
Just arrive as you are. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident. During the session, you’ll wear small hand and finger sensors connected to the camera — completely safe, gentle, and non-invasive.
Is the studio accessible?
Yes — Pine & Prism’s downtown space is located on the second floor with elevator access. We’re committed to making this experience welcoming and comfortable for everyone.
Is it private?
Yes — each session is held in a relaxed, one-on-one or small-group setting. You’ll have time to ask questions, reflect, and take photos with your prints before leaving.
Do you offer drinks or refreshments?
Yes! We serve complimentary herbal tea and filtered water in the studio. We also offer optional non-alcoholic mocktails or NA wines (available with or without Amanita infusion) for an added touch of ritual and relaxation — perfect for groups looking for something intentional and unique. If you’d prefer, you’re also welcome to bring your own beverages, including alcoholic drinks. Just keep them lidded inside the space and enjoy responsibly while you glow.
