Entry No. 12 — the Colorado Springs file — filed under: witchy

Aurathentic

A wellness boutique and creekside bar rolled into one: get your aura photographed, lie on a vibroacoustic bed, and wash it all down with a chakra-themed cocktail steps from Fountain Creek — all under one roof on Manitou Ave.

The move: Book a paired aura reading for two, wander the crystal-stocked boutique, then settle onto the creekside patio for handcrafted chakra cocktails while comparing your soul blueprints.

📍 Before you go Aurathentic sits right on Manitou Avenue in walkable downtown Manitou Springs, a few steps from Fountain Creek and easy to walk past, so watch for the storefront. Parking is the usual tourist-town squeeze: there are paid lots at and beside the address (the Wichita Lot next door is the closest), so plan to pay and walk. Note the two sides keep separate schedules — the boutique and aura services run most days, but the cafe and bar are a weekend-leaning, weather-permitting affair, so check ahead before counting on creekside cocktails. Easy to pair with a stroll down the rest of Manitou Ave.
