Shali Ma
A•Bun•Dance
We’ve done the shedding. Now it’s time to root into our power. Grounded, sovereign and heart led.
This set is an invitation to remember the abundance that is our birthright. The divine inheritance that is ours to claim.
Expect frequency upgrades and beats that recalibrate your nervous system for receiving.
Let’s move boldly, sensually & unapologetically forward as we usher in the year of the fire horse.
Shali Ma walks the path of the Rose Lineage as a Priestess and trauma-informed Ceremonial Embodiment Guide, emanating a tender field of healing that softens the heart and awakens luminous clarity. She is devoted to reawakening the Divine Feminine within and without through the sacred intelligence of the body, lovingly guiding others into deep embodiment and emotional alchemy, inviting rediscovery of the innocence and power of their true essence. Rooted in ancient Temple Arts, Tantra and embodied Divine Union, her work honors sensuality as sacred, truth as liberation and the body as the altar.
