About this Retreat
When I started meditating daily, I realised how disconnected I actually felt from my own body – and therefore from my emotions, needs, and boundaries. I noticed how deeply I was entangled in thoughts and recurring mental loops: constantly interpreting the past, commenting on the present, and planning the future, while at the same time (unconsciously) trying to suppress unpleasant bodily sensations and painful feelings that lurked beneath the surface.
It wasn’t until I encountered bodywork that I realised that many of these suppressed emotions actually stemmed from my early childhood and were subtly shaping how I perceive myself and the world – in effect, creating my reality. When I participated in the “Emotional Detox through Tantric-Tao Bodywork” retreat together with my partner Ricardo, I unexpectedly came in contact with feelings I had buried and forgotten for a long time.
To finally cry tears I had been holding in for years, to finally give long-suppressed anger a voice, and to fully feel my joy, pleasure and sexual energy without shame felt profoundly healing and liberating to me. Now I know what it means to truly be in contact with myself, to feel my life force flowing freely again, and to move through life in deep connection with my body and my true essence.
I am deeply grateful to have discovered this powerful form of body-based therapy and now happily share it with others from the bottom of my heart. It is a great honour for me to accompany other people on their paths and to share this life as a human being.
My background: I studied Biology, Psychology, Neuroscience, and Philosophy (M.Sc.). I contributed to a longitudinal study on the effects of mindfulness on emotional differentiation and worked as a research assistant in the fields of nature conservation and sustainability – with a focus on how our perception of the “Self” influences the way we relate to our environment.
Currently, I work as a certified MBSR teacher (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) and give group courses in Berlin. In addition to MBSR, I give one-on-one sessions as a certified Emotional Detox Therapist to help release emotions and trauma stored in the body.
With great joy I now offer the “Emotional Detox through Tantric-Tao Bodywork” retreat in Germany together with my partner Ricardo and our teacher Mal from Sri Lanka.
I’m Ricardo, originally from Germany and currently based in Zurich, Switzerland. My journey with Tantric Journey began quite unexpectedly while travelling through Sri Lanka. Having always been passionate about massage and bodywork, I was searching for a retreat that would combine my interests in touch, healing, and energy work.
Through my fiancée Martina, I was introduced to meditation, mindfulness, and spirituality — a world that resonated deeply with me. While exploring these themes further, I came across Mal Weeraratne’s work and was immediately drawn to the holistic approach of Emotional Detox through Tantric-Tao Bodywork.
After completing Mal’s online masterclass and reading his book, I felt inspired to step into this transformative path. Attending the London retreat with Mal was a life-changing experience. It opened my heart, shifted my perspective on emotions and trauma, and deepened my awareness of the body’s wisdom.
Together with Martina, I now co-facilitate retreats and workshops under the guidance of Mal, blending the depth of Eastern traditions with grounded emotional healing. It brings me great joy to hold space for others and support them on their own healing journeys.
My background is in electrical engineering, and I currently work as a project manager in the renewable energy sector.
Mal Weeraratne is the first Advance Certified Tantra Educator (ACTE) in the UK, who pioneered the Trauma Release Tantric – Tao Bodywork in 2000.
He is the author of Emotional Detox through Bodywork and the founder of the Tantric Journey - School of Healing and Awakening. With over 30 years of experience in bodywork and treating over 3,500 clients from all walks of life around the world.
Details of this retreat
✨ “Emotional Detox through Tantric-Tao Bodywork” – A Transformational Retreat close to Berlin✨
(for German see further below)
Imagine immersing yourself in a healing sanctuary for seven days – surrounded by the serene nature, far from the noise of daily life. This retreat, originally created in London and now being offered for the third time in Germany, invites you to dive deep within and release old burdens that you may have been carrying for far too long.
🌿 Your body speaks – and we listen.
In this retreat, you will learn Eastern full-body massage techniques that help release emotional blockages and trauma stored in the body. These can often unconsciously hinder your energy flow and prevent you from feeling free, vibrant, and in harmony with yourself.
💫 What happens when you release blockages?
When your life force energy (Kundalini/Prana) begins to flow freely again, you can:
Feel renewed lightness and vitality,
Experience deep joy and creative energy,
Find a “Yes” to yourself and to life,
And perhaps even have a spiritual experience that can transform your life.
🤲 A space for all emotions – from fear to ecstasy
This retreat offers you a safe space to experience the full range of human emotions – sadness, anger, shame, guilt, but also joy, lust, bliss, and ecstasy. Everything is welcome, to support your healing journey and personal (spiritual) growth.
👕 A protected framework for all
Throughout the workshop, all participants remain clothed, even during exercises and massages. This ensures that you can focus entirely on your experience while feeling safe and secure.
🌍 Experienced leadership for a unique experience
The retreat will be led by Martina and Ricardo, newly assigned teachers of Tantric Journey. Mal Weeraratne from Sri Lanka, an expert in Tantra and Tao bodywork, will be superwising this retreat.
The retreat is conducted in English – Martina and Ricardo will be happy to assist with translations in German if needed.
Give yourself this time for yourself. Let go of what holds you back, and discover the power and joy that slumbers deep within you.
We host free Zoom sessions to intoduce Tantric Journey and ourselves, as well as giving a Q/A session. Write me to receive the Zoom Link.

✨ „Emotional Detox through Tantric-Tao Bodywork“ – Ein transformierender Workshop für Körper und Geist) ✨
Stell dir vor, du tauchst für sieben Tage in eine heilsame Oase ein – umgeben von der Natur, fernab vom Lärm des Alltags. Dieser Workshop, der seinen Ursprung in London hat und nun zum dritten mal in Deutschland stattfindet, lädt dich ein, tief in dein Inneres einzutauchen und alte Lasten loszulassen, die du vielleicht schon viel zu lange mit dir herumträgst.
🌿 Dein Körper spricht – und wir hören ihm zu.
In diesem Retreat lernst du fernöstliche Ganzkörpermassage-Techniken kennen die dir helfen alte emotionale Blockaden und im Körper gespeicherte Traumata zu lösen. Diese können oft unbewusst unseren Energiefluss hemmen und uns daran hindern frei lebendig und im Einklang mit uns selbst zu sein.
💫 Was passiert wenn du Blockaden löst?
Wenn deine Lebensenergie (Kundalini/Prana) wieder ins Fließen kommt kannst du:
Leichtigkeit und Vitalität neu spüren
tiefe Freude und kreative Kraft erleben
ein „Ja“ zu dir selbst und zum Leben finden
und vielleicht sogar eine spirituelle Erfahrung machen die dein Leben nachhaltig verändert.
🤲 Raum für alle Gefühle – von Angst bis Ekstase
Dieses Retreat schenkt dir einen sicheren Raum um die ganze Bandbreite menschlicher Emotionen zu erleben – Traurigkeit Wut Scham Schuld aber auch Freude Lust Glückseligkeit und Ekstase. Alles darf da sein um dich auf deinem Weg der Heilung und persönlichen (spirituellen) Weiterentwicklung zu unterstützen.
👕 Ein geschützter Rahmen für alle
Während des Retreats bleiben alle Teilnehmenden bekleidet, auch bei den Übungen und Massagen. So kannst du dich vollständig auf deine Erfahrungen konzentrieren und dich dabei sicher fühlen. Vor jeder Übung werden die eigenen Grenzen besprochen.
🌍 Erfahrene Leitung für ein einzigartiges Erlebnis
Das Retreat wird von Martina und Ricardo angeleitet, welche seit 2022 teil von Tantric Journey sind. Mal Weeraratne aus Sri Lanka, ein Experte in den Gebieten Tantra- und Tao- Körperarbeit, wird als Supervisor das Retreat begleiten.
Das Retreat findet auf Englisch statt – bei Bedarf helfen Martina und Ricardo gern mit Übersetzungen.
