Temple of Remembrance:
Fully Alive Woman

Two Day  Immersive Initiation into Embodied Womanhood

17 & 18 October 2026 
Byron Bay Hinterland, Australia

A sacred invitation to reclaim your birthright to pleasure, heart connection, authentic expression and the exquisite aliveness that is your natural state.

 

This is not another personal development workshop.

 

It is an initiation.

 

An invitation to cross a threshold into a deeper relationship with yourself, your body, your feminine wisdom and your capacity to love and be fully alive.

There comes a moment…

 

There comes a moment in every woman’s life when something deep within begins to stir and she realizes a shift is needed. 

 

A quiet knowing…

 

That she can no longer live from the surface.

She longs to feel more.

 

More connected to her body.

 

More open in her heart.

 

More expressed in her truth.

 

More intimate with life itself.

She longs to reclaim the parts of herself she has hidden to belong, abandoned to survive, or forgotten while caring for everyone else.

 

Not by becoming someone new…

 

But by remembering the woman she has always been.

Your Guide

Malaika Darville

For over 35 years, Malaika MaVeena Darville has walked the path of embodied feminine wisdom, ceremony and initiation, guiding women and men home to the sacred intelligence of their bodies.

A Ceremonialist, Elder, dancer and Creatrix of 5Elements Dance, Malaika pioneered conscious dance, Blessingways and women's rites of passage long before they became mainstream.

Her wisdom is not simply learned; it comes from a rich life well lived. Through birth, blood, sexuality, grief, death, rebirth and transformation, Malaika has lived her life courageously, passionately and outside the box.

And now, as an Elder, she is still dancing, creating, exploring and FULLY ALIVE.

Expect depth. Expect laughter. Expect tears, sweat, dance, ritual, sisterhood, nourishment, replenishment and truth.

This is not about becoming a different version of yourself.

It is about remembering the woman you have always been when we strip away all that is not love and bringing her FULLY ALIVE.

Malaika's life has taken her around the world, learning alongside Tantric masters in India, Sangomas in Southern Africa, Aboriginal Elders in Australia, Hawaiian Kumu and Kahunas from Hawaii, and revered medicine men and women throughout South America.

For over three decades she has facilitated transformational experiences globally, with Bali her home for the past 13 years. She remains one of The Yoga Barn's beloved Ecstatic Dance DJs, known for her ability to create powerful journeys while holding Sacred Space, bringing people into a state of ecstasy, and gently landing them back in their hearts. 

Her work does not belong to any one lineage. Through decades of practice and lived experience, Malaika has distilled what she believes lives at the heart of all true ceremony: presence, embodiment, connection, and remembrance.

This Journey Is For You If...

You long to come home to your body.

 

You desire a deeper heart connection with yourself and other women.

 

You are ready to reclaim your relationship with pleasure, sensuality, and feminine power.

 

You are tired of carrying everything alone.

 

You are ready to feel the places where you’ve disconnected from yourself.

 

You long to move beyond old stories and step into a new chapter of your life.

 

You crave authentic sisterhood.

 

You know there is a wiser, freer, more radiant woman waiting to emerge.

This Is Unlike Any Women’s Retreat

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THIS JOURNEY?

Over two full extraordinary days, you’ll be guided through a living tapestry of movement, music, meditation, ritual, elemental practices, authentic expression, shadow work, nervous system restoration, conscious touch, ceremony, dance and deep sisterhood.

 

No two journeys are ever the same.

Because the greatest teacher is not the method.

It is the field we create together.

Every practice is an invitation to soften.

To listen.

To awaken.

To remember.

To allow your body, and your mind, to become your guide.

 

Together we’ll laugh.

Cry.

Dance.

Rest.

Celebrate.

Witness one another.

 

And rediscover what it feels like to truly belong… first to ourselves, and then to each other. You will return home feeling your cup full and overflowing with a new found strength within.

This is where transformation ceases to be something you think about…

 

And becomes something you embody.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS TRAININGS OR WORKSHOPS 

"Malaika and her Elemental Embodiment was a ceremonial experience of a lifetime. She weaves the ancient rituals of the ancestors in a modern-day format. This opened the doorway for people of all cultures to receive a huge gift of connection to the Earth and her medicine. I felt free to express myself through dance with so much love and connection to my body, the Earth, and everyone I was dancing with. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves to express themselves through sacred dance as Malaika is a master at holding Sacred Space."
