Malachit Events: Meet Shirly & May
Why Malachit: Our beginning…
Malachit Events was born from a longing.
A longing for depth in a world full of distraction.
For real community in times of disconnection.
For spaces where transformation isn’t shallow or performative - but real, grounded, and embodied.
When we met, we recognized something familiar in each other: a shared hunger for truth, simplicity, and soulful presence. We had both walked many paths - retreats, trainings, circles - and while we encountered beautiful teachings, we often felt something essential was missing.
Heart.
Safety.
Depth.
A space where you can come exactly as you are.
So we began to dream together. Of a sanctuary where ancient wisdom meets the needs of modern souls. A living field of transformation, community, and embodied healing. Not a quick-fix retreat - but a real refuge for those who are ready to go deep.
That dream became Malachit.
Who we are: May & Shirly
May Garzon
I am a ritualist, trauma-informed space-holder, and intuitive guide. My work is rooted in embodied wisdom - meeting yourself fully, honestly, and with love. I walk with a devotion to holding both tenderness and truth, softness and clarity, power and vulnerability.
For me, Malachit is more than a project. It is a prayer.
A living, breathing space where transformation is not a performance, but an intimate journey home. Where ancient wisdom dances with modern healing. Where people are invited to reclaim their wholeness - gently, fiercely, and truthfully.
Shirly Lanczmann
I am the one weaving the threads behind the scenes, holding the structure so the magic can unfold. With a background in psychology and embodied healing arts, I bring grounded presence, clarity, and devotion into every detail.
From the very first message you receive to the final ritual circle, my touch is there - thoughtful, aligned, and intentional. I hold the frame so authenticity - raw, real, and human - can emerge in safety and depth.
Together, we are two expressions of one vision:
to create a home for seekers, rebels, lovers, healers - a field where transformation isn’t just offered, but lived.
What we offer: Our medicine
At Malachit Events, we believe in embodiment, community, ceremony, and integration. Our offerings are not casual and not superficial. They are created for those who feel the call to meet themselves fully - body, soul, sensuality, shadow, and belonging.
Our Formats
Retreats
Immersive journeys for body, heart, shadow, soul, and sensuality.
Trainings & Initiations
For those called to deepen embodiment, become practitioners, and hold space with integrity and awareness.
Community Gatherings & Festivals
Spaces for collective presence, shared ritual, authentic connection, art, play, vulnerability, and growth.
Each space is held with care, trauma-awareness, respect, and love. Our practices include ritual, breathwork, movement, shadow work, embodied sexuality, and nervous-system awareness - always honoring the human being in their full complexity.
We are not here to fix you.
We are here to invite remembering.
Remembering who you were before shame.
Before fragmentation.
Before conditioning.
What it feels like
When you step into a Malachit container, you may arrive with longing.
With pain.
With numbness.
With hesitation.
And you may leave - if you allow yourself - with:
A deeper sense of being rooted in your body
Your sensuality reclaimed, your edges honored
Emotional release, clarity, grounded presence
Belonging to a tribe that sees you, holds you, mirrors you
A soft yet radical remembering — of innocence, wildness, aliveness
It is not easy.
It is not comfortable.
But it is real.
Alive.
Sacred.
