About Lisa
Lisa visited Leandra in July 2009. She has been trained by Leandra in Tantra Sacred Massage and is available in Berlin, Germany. Email Lisa for a booking: lisa@bn24.de
Originally from East Germany, Lisa now lives and works in Berlin and spends her weekends at the family country home a few hours outside of Berlin. She originally trained and worked as a Receptionist/Secretary and is married with adult children.
Her interest in tantra began early in the nineties, when she, mostly out of curiosity, began personal tantra training with the Diamond Lotus Institute, Berlin, the oldest Tantra training institute in Germany. She completed a one year training group and went on to assist facilitating workshops before finally training in Tantra Massage with Diamond Lotus. In addition, she also completed trainings in Medicinal Massage, Ayurovedic massage, Reflexology, and Lymph Drainage. After working in the field part time for a number of years, she went full time five years ago.
Some 4 years ago, she undertook a completely new challenge and underwent two trainings with the Institut fuer Selbstbestimmung Behinderter (Institute of Self-Determination for the Handicapped) in Bodywork and Sexual Counselling. Today, working with and accompanying physically and mentally challenged individuals to find ways of expressing their sexuality, forms the core of her work in Berlin. She also occasionally assists Nils Kriedner, Director of Wahrhaftig Leben Tantra School in Dresden, Germany (Living Fully & Consciously Tantra School) in his tantra seminars and workshops.
Lisa's aim is to assist people to more sensuality and relaxation in life and show and to teach a pathleading towards natural feeling - more lightness, playfulness and freedom in thinking and feeling. She encourages her students in to live in a way that more fully incorporates all the senses - and this more consciously.
"Tantra has brought more consciousness into my life. It has been a dream of mine to experience and work with Tantra in other countries for quite a while now, and I really look forward to my first visit to South Africa."
Message from Leandra after Lisa's visit - June 2009
The time with Lisa was terrific. We had so much to share and talk about and we both found it very enriching and motivating. I really appreciated her extensive and very intense tantric training and experience as well as her specialised training and the work she does with mentally and physically challenged individuals.
The response from students who saw Lisa or experienced our 4-handed massage, have been wonderful. Lisa was also impressed about the quality of students coming to Tantra Sacred Massage. I am overjoyed about the enthusiasm from both sides. I so look forward to her return next year... this time for longer.
Namaste, Leandra
Lisa's Feedback about her trip - July 2009
I came to South Africa curious and without expectations. I was also quite excited, particularly as I had never undertaken such a long journey on my own!
However the wonderful sharing with Leandra - her knowledgeable, warm hearted nature allowed me to soon feel completely at home. Our first four-handed massage went so well, we were intuitively able to rhymically work together and from the response of the student we knew it had been successful.
The most important aspect of working together is being able to connect energetically during the massage and we achieved this with ease. So with everyone overjoyed it gave me courage and awakened the desire for more such sharing.
The willingness, open-mindedness and the confidence of all the students with whom I was able to work, impressed me a lot and I found it was this that enabled the work to go so deep. Each massage was completely individual, no two sessions alike and I felt accepted in spite of my little English.
Beside the actual massage work, I was able to experience the people and places of Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban and its very special south coast. I was thus able to become a little acquainted with different spaces and people in South Africa. I returned to Berlin feeling enriched, motivated, and grateful. I felt connected. I will return!
I send a warm greeting from Berlin to everyone and especially to all the students with whom I was allowed to work with.
Leandra, perhaps you should add.....: it fascinates me particularly that, you born in South Africa and grew up in Durban, and I born and bred in the east of Germany, have been on completely separate paths in life so far, yet when we come together after many, many years of separateness, we found that we had both been working towards a completely similar goal, i.e. to accompany and support individuals on part of their journey to more sensuality and conscious awareness in life. So what is the important important conclusion of this? Tantra connects world-wide and that is a completely beautiful feeling.
Love, Lisa
