About me
Malaika MaVeena is a revered Elder, ceremonial guide, and living library of embodied Earth wisdom. With over three decades of global experience, she has lived among Indigenous communities in Africa and trained with wisdom keepers across the Earth, carrying ancient teachings that cannot be found in books or AI—only through lived experience.
As the creatrix of 5Elements Dance Activation™ and a pioneer of the conscious dance and cacao movement in Australia and Bali, Malaika has held transformational retreats, trainings, and sacred ceremonies in over 20 countries. Her life’s work is rooted in Shamanic principles, elemental embodiment, and restoring harmony to the human spirit and our relationship with nature.
Known for her radiant presence and ability to awaken Shakti life-force energy, Malaika offers soul-stirring rituals that bridge ancient traditions with modern awakening. She is a Grandmother inspirational guide to many, holding powerful space for peace, family, and remembrance of our shared humanity.
At the BSF Peace Garden, Malaika will speak on the medicine of PEACE and FAMILY from her lived experience, and lwill also be offering a deeply connective Sacred Cacao Ceremony, uniting the collective hearts of the festival in rhythm, prayer, and joy.
"I am here to uplift humanity and have been doing so for over 30 years. What I bring is ancient, sacred, and alive."
