With a name derived from a sound system’s AUXiliary cord, this project is about the power of connection. For us the AUX means plugging into our life-giving essence so we can thrive as we live, learn, work and play.
The AUX will transform vacant property into a high-quality commercial space for a collective of locally owned businesses and organizations that support holistic wellness. By bringing together diverse talents in our community, the AUX creates a transformative center dedicated to healing as we connect in community, supporting one another to reach physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, and financial wellness.
The AUX is a place where life happens and life expands.
