Malika Avani is a song-keeper, medicine woman, and founder of The Healing Drum, guiding training and initiations internationally since 2017. 

A proud daughter of Singapura with Indian and Boyanese heritage, her 14-year path of initiation across more than 30 countries is rooted in shamanic rhythm, ancestral constellations, and vocal alchemy.

She trains experienced practitioners, facilitators, and space-holders who are ready to deepen their mastery. As a conduit for rhythm as medicine, voice as portal, and ceremony as a living ecology, Malika leads immersive workshops, retreats, and the 10 levels of Shamanic Drum Facilitator Training internationally, guiding practitioners beyond surface-level facilitation into embodied leadership, ancestral integrity, and transformative depth.

Malika’s work is grounded in over a decade of immersion with Indigenous tribes, living in community ritual, learning tribal songs, and apprenticing with master plant and animal teachers of their lineages. Her path has carried her through the landscapes of the Americas, from the depths of the Amazon jungle to the heights of the Andean mountains, where earth and ancestry continue to shape and inspire her work.

🪶 Day 1 · Power Is Relational
Drum Work I: The Return to Rhythm

This opening session establishes the ground of the work.

Power is relational, learned through family, culture, climate, and the elemental ancestors  and through what each cosmovision places at the center of the circle.

“What sits at the center determines how power moves.”
— Indigenous relational teaching (cross-cultural)

We enter through sacred circle technology, amplifying the drum as a field of relationship.

Where are you sounding from?

This session explores:
– The drum as an ancestral technology of relational power
– The circle as a container of coherence and accountability.

This is the return point
where power is restored to relationship,
And restorative uncolonised rhythm becomes trustworthy again.

—————-

🪶 Drum Work II · ROOTS (Within & Below)
Theme: Intergenerational Memory, Earth & Deep Listening

Drum Work II  brings the group within and below  into the roots of rhythm, memory, and land. Guided by shamanic understanding of the Medicine Wheel, we begin with stillness and deep listening, restoring power as presence rather than force.

“What we do not listen to at the roots will speak through us as repetition.”

Here, rhythm is slowed and grounded. Sound follows listening. The drum is held as an ancestral ally, supporting contact with intergenerational memory carried in the body.

This session includes:
– Grounded drum work rooted in the Medicine Wheel
– Raw vocal expression to release stored emotional memory
– A simple collective altar offering through silence, prayer, or song

This is not about fixing the past.
It is about listening deeply enough for the roots to speak
and allowing rhythm to carry what has long been held beneath the surface.

Drum Work III · FEMININE REGENERATIVE RHYTHM
Theme: Creativity, Sensuality & Renewal
Rhythm Pattern II

This drum work III introduces the second rhythm pattern as a pathway into feminine regenerative intelligence. Rhythm here is cyclical and nourishing, restoring creativity, sensuality, and flow.

Through drumming, voice, and movement, the body remembers how to generate Creativity is reclaimed as an embodied capacity, not performance.

This is celebration as regeneration.

🪶 Ancestral Ceremony · Remembering the Line

Shamanism is the practice of mediating relationships — between the living and the ancestral, the visible and the unseen, the body and the field that shaped it. In facilitation and creative expression, ancestral work is not optional; what remains unresolved in the lineage will move through the voice, the body, and the field unconsciously.

As the saying reminds us:

“You are not just descended from your ancestors.
You are carrying forward what they began.”

This ceremony invites full-bodied contact with the Ancestral Self — the part of you shaped by bloodline, prayer, land, and archetypal memory. Not to idealize the past, but to restore the relationship with what has been carried, silenced, endured, or survived.

Because what is met consciously
no longer needs to speak through distortion.

And what is honored
can finally move forward
through voice and rhythm
with the mature capacity to acknowledge distortion, shadow, projection, unprocessed rage, and inherited grief,
without collapsing or bypassing.

This is ancestral healing as responsibility
not inheritance as burden,
but lineage as living power,
ready to be carried with clarity, integrity, and expression.

You are drawn to sound and rhythm as ancestral remembrance
beyond curiosity, and into committed responsibility.
A call toward decolonial relationship with sound,
where rhythm is no longer extracted, aestheticized, or consumed,
but returned to its place as living lineage.

The drum has been calling you
not because you are ready to perform,
but because you are ready to listen, regulate, and be shaped by rhythm,
to enter sound as a reciprocal field rather than a tool.

You may already hold space — as a facilitator, healer, or guide
or you are standing at the threshold of that role
and understand that rooting must precede leadership,
and that leadership without relational accountability becomes extraction.

You seek rhythm beyond technique,
as medicine that restores order, coherence, and right relationship
with body, lineage, land, and the living field you are entrusted to hold.

Theme: The Return to Rhythm

Drum Work 1: Power.

You will learn:
– How to enter ceremonial space with presence and reverence
– The origins of the drum as a spiritual tool and transmitter of ancestral power
– The somatic roots of rhythm — and how your body already remembers the beat
– The difference between drumming from the mind, the womb, the heart, or survival
– The circle as a container of power, not performance

You will not just drum —
You will remember how to be held by rhythm,
how to speak without words,
how to enter the drum as temple.

—————-

Drum Work 2: Roots.

This session deepens into the root system of the work — where rhythm meets memory, and myth becomes map.

You will explore:
– The drum as an ancestral tool of remembering
– Raw Voice Works to access stored emotional memory in the body
– A Circle of Words: storytelling as ritual
– The power of myth in Indigenous cosmovision — myth as memory, not metaphor
– A Collective Altar Ceremony: bringing offerings to your lineage in prayer, in silence, or in song

Where blood stories are witnessed.
And where we do not fix the past — we sing it forward.

Day 2: The Ancestral Body Remembers

Drum Work 3: Embodying the Ancestral Self

"You are not just descended from your ancestors  you are carrying out what they began."

Who are you when you’re not performing healing —
but becoming the prayer your ancestors never finished?

This is where we remember that the body is archive,
and movement is remembrance.

Drum Work 4: RHYTHMIC REVIVAL

Theme: Celebration as Integration

We close not with words, but with rhythm.

Rhythmic Revival is the final temple —
a full-bodied YES to life.
A celebration where the drum carries everything we’ve moved, released, reclaimed.

Through collective dance, song, and drumming, we honor the ancestral body — the one that trembled, cracked open, and rose again.

This is not the end.
This is the beginning of rhythm as practice.
A way to live, to relate, to lead.
