TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS RETREATS WITH MALAIKA
Hollie Anne
Stephanie, Sedona
All I can say is life changing!
I feel connected with pieces of myself that I couldn’t have identified as absent. I have realized my purpose and feel prepared to move forward into the world. Deep gratitude Malaika; everything you do is with purpose and intent, so beautifully executed in the moment and so authentic.
You are such a clear channel for transformation.
"This training has really opened me up to so many more possibilities for myself, to push myself through fear, feelings of unworthiness, self-limiting stories, and playing small. I had to let go of so much that was pulling me back.
I feel more confident than ever in my own inner wisdom, & my ability to be of service to other women. I discovered my own radiance. What this training has given me is priceless!! Thank you, Malaika for all the work that you do.
​
100% I would suggest this course to friends and to ALL people- this is what they should be teaching us in school!!"

"Incredibly, I got to experience Malaikas Training in Bali. This Radically changed my life. She gave me the courage to trust my Souls Dharma, my Souls Purpose. Since then we have been good friends and I have brought her onto my Rose Gold Goddesses Community where she has taught both online and in person, each and every time it's been so transformational.
I am so grateful to have learned from Malaika, She is such a full-power Shakti, Embodied Divine Feminine Leader, and her work is so needed in the world right now. If you are drawn to her work, you are making the right choice!"
Achille Zaparucha
I attended Malaika's Training, following my 6th sense, like my body was telling me to go there. When a friend of mine told me about it, it was as if the air was filled with electricity. I knew it was one of those opportunities life opened for me, and my part was to feel the fear and the butterflies in my belly and do it anyway
The very best month of my life yet. The one I have been more authentic, vulnerable, and true to myself.
​
Thank you Malaika Darville for your knowledge, wisdom, and love you are sharing. Thank you for being you. A cage-opener. 
Thank you Balinese people for being so welcoming, and cooking so delicious food! 

Bharat Sachdeva - Personal Trainer, India
My experience with Malaika was one of the most incredible workshops I had the opportunity to attend. She is a woman with many hats, from being a Shaman to a movement artist to a talented musician, I personally got a taste of many different things from her during the Tantra workshop and am super grateful for the transformation in my life because of it. Malaika brings something magical to the gathering with her Heart-oriented approach to the personal touch that united and formed a bond with other members during the workshop. If you have the opportunity to attend a training with Malaika, go for it, just be prepared to change!
The best thing about being an Ecstatic Dance DJ is making people happy. There is nothing like seeing people go wild on the dance floor or the expression on their faces when they hear a track they love and it helps them to release some emotions in a healthy way.
I also love to educate people on music they may have never heard before to take people on a journey with me around the world.
Let Your Heart Beat for Music.
