REVIEWS & GRATITUDE
"I was very nervous going into a session with Malaika as i had never done anything like it, but when I met her I instantly felt supported, was encouraged to ask any questions I had and the session was life-changing! I only wish I could have a session every week it's that good!" Krystle Star Sophia Wild ~ New Zealand. Received Private session with Malaika.

Malaika's Embodied Women's Oasis Workshop was a day of magic bringing ancient wisdom to a modern world .
We came together as a group of women divinely guided by Malaika to reconnect to ourselves and each other in the forgotten art of embodied practices .
We learnt to leave our minds and journey into the depths of our feminine souls . Releasing our long held fears through body work in a profoundly safe space .
We used dance , channeled sounds and the support of each other to reconnect to our inner truths .
I would recommend Malaika's workshop for anyone wanting to take themselves further into discovering who they really are and then to be able to share this understanding with others .
I can already feel the benefits from attending Malaika's workshop when leading my energy healing meditation groups and in my healing work .
Thank you for a beautiful day and opening me up to more of me and my gifts . Dr Maree Batchelor G.P and Spiritual Healer attended Introduction to Cocreating an Embodied Women's Group. > for more on Maree http://www.wellbeinggroup.com.au/dr-maree-batchelor-gp.html
"When I first met Malaika there was this beauty glow about her and I immediately felt a sense of deep connection and excitement to work with her I could feel her depth and passion for what she shares, the medicine she has for the world. The first time I sat in circle with Malaika she held such a comfortable space that was very inviting and helped me easily connect with myself and the other women. She has this beautiful, real connection to the Divine which easily seen through her work with sound and movement. The first time Malaika guided us into channeling Surrendered Sound and Vocal alchemy I was shocked how I expanded and connected I felt to myself and those I was working with. I had never practiced Surrendered Sound before and it was a feeling of such gratitude that she shared such a life transformative gift with me, with us and the world. Not only can she take you beyond this dimension through her connection with sound and movement she also assisted me with my daily practice and practical guidance on how to help calm my daily for greater focus! The practices she shared through movement were beautiful and I felt a greater connection to my body and soul – I was able to really FEEL my body, every single inch of it through her guidance with movement. One specific time I remember being able to feel the air on my skin as I moved through the room and it took me to an incredible state of Bliss. This woman is a blessing and joy to spend time, practice and co-create with. I am very excited to spend more time in her presence and am beyond grateful for the support and tools she has given me to walk beautifully and boldly in this world."

"I was divinely guided to work with Malaika. I had not yet heard of her and her work but my whole body felt like I had come home in her presence. The workshop that I experienced was nothing short of life changing. For years I had been disconnected to my body, for years I said “I can’t sing anymore”. My soul, my wild woman was feeling deeply suppressed and hurt. Malaika guided us to open through sacred song and dance. It took me to a deep place of remembrance where I had never felt so connected to my self. Malaika held a space that felt safe. The way she constructed the workshop was in an intuitive flow that welcomed all to be expressed. Through her work I have ignited a passion to work with sacred sound. Malaika also seems to have an innate knowing of when her support is needed and she has been a huge teacher for me on this transformational journey. I have so much love and gratitude for this woman and the work she offers to the world."

"Malaika is a fun loving creative soul with a wonderful sense of humour. She brings lots of lightness to her classes as well as a beautiful depth. Her ability to tune in to the students and hold space for whatever's needed in that moment was really appreciated by our group. That's a wonderful ability in a teacher. Thank you ~Lorraine Taylor.

"I love working with Malaika! She is relaxed, at ease, deeply connected and she holds a beautiful, safe, clear space. She has guided me into a new relationship with the sonic world – inside and out. She has gently guided me into deep clearing and beautiful openings, has connected me with my soul song and encourages me to come out and play!
The way she combines sound work with movement and ritual is powerful and juicy. After our last session I felt super invigorated and alive…my cells were awake, my mind at rest and forgotten intelligences re-activated. She brought me fully into the beauty of my body and natural movement and combined this with heart-felt intention setting – a beautiful, embodied, creative process! I love Malaika’s playful spirit and her super grounded, integral approach and I’m very excited to delve more deeply into her co-creative, empowering processes."

"I am so grateful to Malaika for her offerings to the ( Lorraine Taylor ) yoga teacher training course I participated in recently. Her Vocal and Embodied Alchemy classes offered a safe space to experience the resistance and fears that come up when you really tune in and listen to the body, both emotional and physical. My time with Malaika has opened the doors for a whole new world of healing and possibility to present itself to me. Powerful and transformative work! Thank you, Malaika!" Kristen Apenddrot- USA @ Malaika's Embodied Alchemy as part of Lorraine Taylor Yoga Sacred Womens Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training
"My group sessions with Malaika were incredible. Malaika was able to create such a safe and beautiful healing space for all of us women to feel comfortable. Working with surrendered sound and surrendered movement allowed for me to connect to my body in ways I never have before. These are healing gifts I will carry with me throughout my life. I have nothing but gratitude, love and appreciation for Malaika and her beautiful work"

"Dancing, learning, singing & growing amongst Malaika is a wild journey of discovery. She is a women deeply guided by intuition & diverse cultural wisdom which shines through her creative & eclectic ways to engage those ready for expansion. Malaika inspired me deeply to become more curious about my own unique arts & how I could embody them more in my everyday living & engagement with the world. Her & her arts are both comforting, supportive & inviting, I felt her eagerness to witness those around her blossom into their higher potentials."Byrnn Goforth- @Embodied Alchemy at Return to the Mother & Malaika's Embodied Alchemy as part of Lorraine Taylor Sacred Womens Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training-
"Malaika is a skilled, powerful and kind leader. I learned a great deal and was so grateful for the opportunity to push myself beyond my comfort zone and then be overjoyed that I did. I found her workshop to be rich, deep, insightful. She is a tremendously wise and wonderful woman who brings out these and many more attributes in all of us who are blessed to co-create with her."

"Since meeting Malaika its that my life has changed since then, and Malaika has been and still is a huge support in my transformation. Her ability to know where I am and what I need in every moment around her is perfect. Malaika was the one to introduce me to surrendered sound, the experience opened up my voice and explore a whole new way of singing and experiencing sound, it was perfect for me. Malaika is true to herself, you feel safe in her company and she is able to not take things too serious and laugh about life sometimes, which is great. I can't thank her enough." Sarah Kirkeby- Denmark- Goddess Isis Retreat & The Art & Alchemy of Embodiment
"Working with Malaika, I felt like I was in very knowledgeable and capable hands. Her demeanour is one of approachability and she structures her teaching carefully and gently so that I felt at ease trying forms of movement and sounding that were new to me. I was more than pleasantly surprised about how much I was able to realize and release."Olivia-Marie von Hubschrauberkopf- Nudelwalker- Malaika 's Embodied Alchemy as part of Lorraine Taylor Sacred Womens Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training
"From first hearing her name I sensed an inner knowing that meeting Malaika was of divine necessity. I felt immediately at ease in her company and grateful for her warm approach. Such a rich afternoon spent with her and the gorgeous women in my workshop group. A myriad of moments unfolding, some subtle whilst others powerfully arresting to heart and spirit. I really felt a true celebration of the feminine essence. Slowing down, to tune in, listen, receive and flow. Malaika guided us to ground into our bodies and the space; bringing awareness to breath and vital energy centres. This in itself was wholly cleansing. I really loved the practicality of the work; from the first instance we were in our bodies, in our experiencing! I also adored the partner work that Malaika graciously invited us to share in. With time suspended and sensations enlivened, I felt totally supported and willing to receive the gentle and intuitive touch of another. Working with Malaika was nothing short of extraordinary, particularly being privileged to partner with her towards the end of the workshop. I felt a mixture of newness and moving to my edge, as well as a deep homecoming. A return to ancient knowledge, long forgotten but so relevant and full of life. With my surrender and trust, my ‘thinking’ self dissipated and something else profoundly powerful was given space to emerge. The heart awakening of this experience rings through me still. Since the workshop I definitely feel a heightened awareness of what it is I wish to say & how to say it, as well as more subtle levels of communication in everyday life and intimate relationships. I also feel much more connected to my energy centres & to Source. I know this is the beginning of a very important journey. I am incredibly grateful for Malaika’s heartfelt and deep wisdom igniting in me a return to this essential communication."Asuka Hara- Australia @Introduction to Embodied Alchemy.

"I was at a cross road, when I went to Malaika’s workshop for the first time. It marked the biggest turning point in my life. She’s a beautiful, loving and genuine sister. Her classes and workshops are always fun and warm to my heart. I always feel safe to be myself and express what I feel to express without having to be a certain way. I always look out for her next workshops and women circles in Ubud. I love her intuitive dance!"

"I recently had a private sound healing session with Malaika and was impressed by the calming, loving, authentic and grounded energy she holds. Her voice has a powerful shamanic feel to it and she took me very deep. Afterwards I felt clearer, more present and more alive. I would definitely recommend Malaika for a personal or group session as she creates a safe container so vital in journey work. She is one of a rare group of practitioners leading the way with the potent healing power of the voice."Ashera Hart-Australia -Private Session with Malaika.

"Working with Malaika is an incredible experience! From the moment I entered her space she welcomed me with bright eyes. She has an exceptional way of making you feel nurtured and free to express your inner truth. Malaika is a goddess, her knowledge on holding sacred space is beautiful to work with. She has many shamanic tools that she uses to help her students release and build on when working in woman’s circles.
I have held space for women a few times now, and wouldn’t have been able to, without the teachings of Malaika. I highly recommend you to work with her. Be inspired to share more of your inner bliss!"
Jamie Bade, Australia
I wanted to share with you how much your workshop has opened me up! I finished a meditation today, and I opened myself up to sounds...like we did. I was able to completely surrender...It was really incredible! ~ Christina Wells, Bali,@ Initiations of Sound & Embodied Alchemy with Malaika Vera & Eve Marie Roy
"Malaika's sound channelling is super powerful, deep and amazing. I have had incredible experiences opening channel of sound and also receiving sound from Malaika. Embodied alchemy is profound in really bringing in presence and movement to the body, beautiful experience. The more we open the more magic happens in life & embodied alchemy certainly open's a space for the spirit to move. "Kala Shekinah- Australia- Goddess Isis retreat & Alchemy of Woman Workshops
