The Healing Drum with Malika Avani

The Healing Drum with Malika Avani Facilitator of inter-generational wellness mentorship, group workshops and transformational retreats. Drumming has become so much a part of her.

Malika embarked on a solo journey into the unknown only to find within herself, ancestral wisdom that she believes is accessible to all when we bring back the sacred in every offering of this majestic life. In 2011, the call to South America came strongly as she spent 2 years learning the language and the local cultures. Through her time living in Chile, she connected to the Andean cultures and rituals. In 2014, she embarked on an even more profound work healing her past. As a sexual abuse survivor, her passion for healing and ceremonial work deepened with the introduction of her first shamanic drum from Peru. It accompanied her through her journey into the Brazilian Amazon, with a caravan of Rainbow family to support the tribe of Kuntamana in hosting a gathering of the tribes. Through sitting in ceremonies with the tribes, she found her voice and started her path as a keeper of songs. Her nomadic lifestyle enforces a life of simplicity with great respect to the land. In September last year, her path led her to the lands of the Lakotas as support to the Standing Rock movement, there she received her second drum from the Lakota lineage. Malika travels the world offering circles and ceremonies to support others in reconnecting to the land, to our ancestral wisdom. Through her songs and her deep connection to Mother Earth, she facilitates the freeing of the inner voice to sing our heart songs.

The collective grief , rage of the deliberate harm on Indigenous peoples of the World is beyond heart breaking. My dream time has been reflecting this. While being served the Toad medicine from the Sonoran Desert, I shape shifted into the Mother of many nations at War of this Beast.

So why are those teaching Shamanic Drumming not addressing this at the basic grounds of your rhythm class???

I've owed a big part of my medicine to Abya Yala and Turtle Island, as one marked to carry forward the ways of my ancestors exiled from land, temple and committed community.

I find myself here in petition by the Ocean, my mother's ocean that baptized me at 2 years old, where I nearly drowned. In petition to feel the right reciprocity.

For over 500 years, the Indigenous peoples of the world have been defending this way of being in communion with the living world.

And as someone who has sat by the feet of many Indigenous Elders of different nations, showing up to claim my ceremonial wear in a Kebaya after years of not belonging is a personal triumph.

But these struggles of identity and belonging when met by western women only seeking to take to solely benefit .

On What Grounds? On What Terms?

There’s a state of being the modern seeker didn’t realize exists —
the supernatural, the oneness with Nature,
the taste of something more than the constructed human.
Let’s name it: most modern seekers want to consume transcendence
without being devoured by truth.

You can learn technique.
You can become skillful.
You can even master rhythm and timing.
But can you drum a grief song into the bones of the Earth?
Can you sing and bend the frequency of a room until it breathes again?

Eight years of leading The Healing Drum has taught me this —
you cannot fake right relation.

If at your first initiation
the ancestors mirror your shadow and you project it onto others
if you spiral into blame and shame instead of reverence and reflection
you are not ready to lead.
Because leadership in this work isn’t performance.
It’s prayer.

Shamanism runs on natural and cosmic law.
But if you still mould your reality only from money, materialism,
and social constructs devoid of humanity
do you even know how a corn grows?
Do you know the patience of soil, the timing of rain,
the intelligence that lives between root and sun?

You cannot replace your spiritual path with another productivity project
to earn mummy’s love or daddy’s approval.
This is not self-optimization.
This is self-dismemberment.

You cannot bypass generations of rage and unprocessed grief
through superficial means.
Ancestral medicine is not alternative medicine
it is the original medicine,
carried in custodianship for millennia.

My Morning walk gifts from the land 3 hornbill feathers 🐆🌹the wind came and I asked clear the path of old ways . .

I said hello to my tree friends and right as I acknowledge how their view will soon change with the new condominium they are building...

I saw these 3 feathers on my path

The Hornbill has been accompanying me in my journey home and has become a part of my medicine of remembrance. My maternal grandmother came from Kalimantan and my great grandpa was a jungle chief . And here I am having my morning conversation with my elemental ancestors and what a gift to experience life in this way.

Level 2: The Womb of Return

Your body archives everything every silence, every truth swallowed, every boundary unspoken.
The womb remembers.

The ovaries hold creativity, grief, ancestral memory, and the disconnection from the feminine.
The stomach knots with swallowed emotions and the bladder carries fear, rage, and shame.

Level 2 is the descent back into these hidden chambers, where symptoms are not enemies but loyal guardians of the authentic self you once abandoned.

Here we return to the womb, not just as a place of biology, but as a cauldron of renewal.

Sensual and sexual energy is not reserved only for pleasure, it is a power of creation, of rhythm, of voice, of life.

If it can birth a human being, imagine what else it can birth through you.

This is the work of The Womb of Return:
🌑 Meeting the unlived life stored in your body
🌑 Reclaiming the vitality locked in silence and suppression
🌑 Channeling womb energy into creation, voice, and sovereign presence

📅 11 & 12 October
🕑 2pm – 8pm
✨ Includes pre & post training support, video & audio material, certificate, and dinner on both days.

After 3 cycles of Level 1, we now open the gates to Level 2.

Malika has been leading retreats and workshops around the world in various languages for 7 years, guiding hundreds through the medicine of the drum, voice, and ancestral remembrance.

Your symptoms are loyal messengers. Your womb is the altar.
Are you ready to return?

🔥 Don’t miss the early bird savings till Oct 3rd !!

🌀 Registration for Level 2 is now open. Link in bio.

In love and devotion,

Malika Avani

13 years ago, Chile taught me what it was to be embraced with the warmth of heart so generous and pure.
My journey brought me far to the other end of the world and found a home in these beautiful people who I hold so tenderly in my heart.
