LIFE INITIATIONS
Mallaika Vera

​
Early Life and Spiritual Beginnings
​
Born in the capital Jakarta, Indonesia, into a diverse multi-religious family, I was raised immersed in a variety of cultures as a child living in my country of birth and later in Singapore, Australia, and Ecuador. I was taught to pray in any temple I came across. As an adult, I lived a vastly diverse life, based in India, Java, Bali, Australia, and also traveling extensively across Europe, Asia, and the North and South Americas.
​
Spiritual Experiences and Initiations
My first key Spiritual, multidimensional experiences began during a world gathering of a multi-faith spiritual lineage whose focus was active surrender to the Great Intelligence and its grace of movement in us. I had a spontaneous opening to the active forces of Divine creation at the age of 17. This was acknowledged by the lineage, and I was initiated into the path.
​
Women's Wisdom and Sacred Mysteries
At 21, I was invited to my first women's circle, hosted by one of Australia's leading psychics and healers, a great-grandmother of 21 who lived a unique off-grid life on the edge of a forest. We gathered every full moon and dark moon for two years with women of three generations. These were my first experiences of women's wisdom, vision quests, energy healing practices, and other sacred mysteries.
​
Healing and Creative Expression
At age 23, I had a deep calling to heal my fear of singing publicly, and I met a professional singer and mentor in spiritual song practice, now known as Peruqouis. She had been the wife of a Native American elder and was herself a pipe carrier, keeper of the altar, and Sweat Lodge. For over a year, I attended one-on-one and participated in the lodge, growing and re-membering in my feminine wisdom.
​
Dance and Performance
In my years I trained in Balinese Dance, Tribal Fusion Dance, Sufi and Eastern Dances, as well as Butoh and other more contemporary forms, all of which gave me a high level of awareness and connection with my body and the transformational powers of dance and physical theatre. At age 26 and I left Australia for my second trip to India and put my faith in Creation to follow my direction as a dancer/performance artist. I performed across India, Egypt, Europe, Asia, and Australia for four years, rediscovering life by faith. In India, I had many spiritual awakenings, and I began to remember other timelines as a priestess of ancient Night Temples in what is now Egypt and Jordan, my Native American spiritual ancestry, and tantric embodiments.
​
Sisterhood and Mandala Dance
I met Maya Mandala, a Russian healer, guide and psychic. We rekindled a strong sisterhood and shared timeline memories. At this time, Maya was channeling and remembering the Mandala dance. I received her teachings of Mandala dance and other practices and created live dance Mandala meditations with her and the women surrounding us at the time.
​
Elder Wisdom and Healing
​
At 28, I met an Indonesian scientist, mystic, and elder known as Dr. Gretha Zahar, and I was embraced into her community. Her clinics healed thousands of physical and psychological ailments through a very controversial therapy, as central to its working was medicinal tobacco. In our later years, I became very close with Dr. Gretha and was taken under her wing for some years, traveling at times throughout Indonesia, Borneo, and the USA, restoring and healing, and in active prayer in specific sites, and also periods of learning as I healed my own physicality during phases in my past of dire health.
​
Sonic Alchemy and Sound Healing
In the years that followed, I settled in Indonesia between Java and Bali and met Amma Sophia Rose, and participated in her Sonic Alchemy Training. I took the use of voice for healing and inner alchemy to another level and began to practice as a vocal sound practitioner, merging sound with other intuitive and learned modalities.
​
Challenges and Dark Night of the Soul
At age 29-30, I was given the opportunity, to design and implement an island resort in the Thousand Islands of Indonesia under my unique concepts of sustainable driftwood designs. I was based on the remote one-acre island, guiding this project into being. It became one of Indonesia's most popular destinations and received international acclaim. However, my inner life and physicality suffered over that time due to my life choices. During the end of this project and after a series of illnesses, including typhoid and dengue, I entered into a crisis where I was close to death as sepsis entered my lymphatic system, and my multidimensional awareness entered a period of darkness where I was visited by and battled what I then understood to be demons.
​
Visions and Revelations
As I recovered, my father was also at death's door. While practicing hands-on healing on my father, I was visited by Jesus/Yeshua, who merged with my body, and Christ's consciousness began to impart truths about the nature of unity. My little human self was not ready to embody these truths and was still integrating.
​
Spiritual Initiations and Journeying
From 32-35 years of age, I was visited frequently by disembodied spirits and dimensional beings, and even suffered a part possession by an entity for a short period (I was aware and yet it was in my body until I found the means to dispel it). All these were initiations that led to me reclaiming the power of love and my sacred channel within.
​
Pilgrimage and Soul Integration
I and several women in my circle were spontaneously and mysteriously led to the South of France, Glastonbury/Avalon in the UK and parts of Spain, a journey that lasted 3 months, to connect with ancient sacred sites, hidden history, and embody codes of Ancient Mysticism, as well as other memories and soul fragments that were seeking integration in my Now. I returned several times in the years to come to parts of France I now consider my sacred lands.
​
Healing and Self-Discovery
Shortly after this trip, I had another crisis triggered by a very volatile end of an intimate relationship, that brought the worst of my shadows to the surface to be seen and integrated, I took myself into a deep self-discovery, a two-year journey to heal, and uncover my wounded self and bring love to the places most needed.
​
Women's Empowerment and Embodied Practices
After recovery, I opened the Women's Living Temple, an intimate self-retreat center for women in Bali. I facilitated workshops, women circles, one on one intuitive healings, mentored several women in Embodied Practices, and led and guided women's empowerment and embodied circles. Around this time a radical tantric elder and life mentor came into my life. I lived with him and attended his retreats, and workshops, and mentored in person with him for the course of about 2-3 years while also engaging in the crucible of my first conscious relationship with my partner at the time. In this crucible of my present mentor and my intimate relationship, I was able to integrate teachings of Nitvana Tantric Bodywork as guided by my mentor, explore, test, discover and receive further my own wisdom and inner knowing of sacred sexuality, relational dynamics, and my own inner life as I merged with Divine Intelligence as my guide.
​
Transition and Rebirth
The chapter of the Women's Temple and my intensive time with my tantric life mentor, and my intimate relationship all came to an abrupt end when I went into communion with the Divine within and was guided to close the Women’s Temple and move into a predominantly reclusive period.
​
Solitude and Integration
I lived some months in Borneo planting a medicinal garden around the burial grounds of my father, and spent time with my aunt an intuitive midwife and medicine woman of her village. I engaged in solo travels in Europe and lived in solitude in tall forests in Australia. This was a very challenging period of powerful integration and purification that required me to die to parts of my little self and return to love.
​
Death and Rebirth
Shortly after I took further training as a Death Walker/Death Doula and Rites of Passage training as inspired by assisting in my father's passage. I emerged a year later with a new passion for the arts, I returned to performance with a tour to Mongolia and created a series of workshops based on the powers of masks in dance, and following that I connected and collaborated with a Master Mask dancer and Mask healer in Bali. Returning to Australia, I activated my inner ceremonialist to ignite the value of sacred gatherings and life events here.
​
Motherhood and Sacred Empowerment
I was gifted with my daughter and the sacred rite of passage of a beautiful home birth, now after the initiations of early motherhood. A profoundly humbling and empowering experience.
​
Mentorship and Current Service
In these recent years alongside motherhood I mentored with a master of Conscious Language and Sacred Body Language, highly effective systems that engage body intelligence, energetic and visionary architecture I rebirth a new and return to greater service committed to mine and your sacred empowerment.
