Assistant - Martina Lutz
I am Martina from Germany. Since I’ve started my Tantric Journey, my life has changed completely. Participating in Mal’s workshops allowed me to release emotions that have been stored in my body for years, and that have been holding me back from fully enjoying my being – without me knowing it. The experiences I’ve had during the workshops felt powerful, liberating, heart-warming, and spiritual, and they’ve opened up new dimensions of life for me. I am deeply grateful to be on this journey and I love passing this knowledge on to other people, from the bottom of my heart.
My background: I studied biology, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, worked in the field of environmental protect and sustainability and am currently working as a mindfulness teacher in Berlin (MBSR = mindfulness-based stress reduction).
Assistant - Ricardo Roehmer
I am Ricardo from Germany, currently living in Switzerland.
I discovered Tantric Journey by coincidence while I was travelling in Sri Lanka. I have always had a passion for giving massages. Through my girlfriend Martina, I got in contact with the world of mediation, mindfulness, and spirituality. Therefore, I wanted to explore these areas of life and looked for a retreat that might combine all of these aspects. When I was googling ‘tantra massage retreats Sri Lanka,’ Mal’s name popped up. He is Sri Lankan but works in London.I read through his webpage, took his Tantric Journey Masterclass, and read his book, Emotional Detox through Tantric Bodywork. Afterwards I was convinced that this would be a great opportunity for me to learn more about emotions, bodywork, and the world of tantra. Since Martina was interested as well, we went together.
Taking Mal’s Tantric Journey Basic Course (Module 1a), has shown me many things I did not know and did not believe in. It changed my perspecves towards life, emoons, trauma, and energy. I became more compassionate, open – minded, relaxed, and see and feel the world differently.
My background: I studied electrical engineering in Berlin and worked for Siemens in the field of drive technology and process automaton. Since October 2022, I have been living in Switzerland and working as a project manager in the renewable energy sector.
