About Aurora Healing Gardens and Event Center

Our Story

Our vision began with a dream of outdoor trails to be used as part of Dawn's mental health therapy practice.  Our love for nature and the outdoors combined with science of its healing properties, began a search for an office with a large outdoor space.  Tharren's artistic mind and Dawn's passion for healing began this transition of a former construction  office in June of 2024.  We added the amazing visionary of Fred at Backyard Abundance to transform an acre of gravel to these magical gardens.

Our Accommodations

Our indoor space accommodates 75.  The covered porch accommodates 10-20 more.  The acre of gardens with several tranquil sitting areas and a space in the middle for ceremonies and even a row boat sand box and mud pie kitchen for the kids increases capacity and the experience. We invite you to snack on the growing fruit and pick some flowers while you're here.  


*Tables and chairs are included in the rental price of the venue.  

Our Mission

At Aurora Healing Gardens, we are dedicated to providing an accessible and  serene environment that fosters joy,  healing and community. Our mission is to create a space where individuals can reconnect with nature and each other.
