Testimonial (more at the end)
“I have been on my third retreat with Gary and always learn something new. Gary is a very inspiring teacher and leaves you thinking how to reach your best potential. I would definitely recommend Freedo as I think everyone should try it out especially if you want to achieve a dream or explore your mind further. I see myself going on many more retreats. Thank you Gary.”

We begin with a plant essence meditation followed by our Heart Dreaming journey. It is an art therapy (you don’t need to be good at art) where we each create our own personal dream symbol through drawing and creating a dream charm. Art helps activate the right side of your brain helping you gain more clarity and develop your creative thinking. We then explore our symbols like an oracle or tarot reading to reveal new insights and life guidance.
We then do a heart opening ritual with breath and sound, to activate our dream symbol that lives in our heart space. Take home your dream symbol to give you daily insights. Hang it somewhere to catch your dream (dream catcher) and use the heart opening ritual as a daily practice to bring more life into your dream and manifest it into your life. You can keep it by your bed or hang it in a wall. You can also activate it by placing it on your heart.

RETREAT GUIDELINES
Coming on retreat is an opportunity to explore and develop serenity, wisdom and compassion through mindfulness practice in a caring and supportive environment.
Everybody is different, and rules for a shared space help us all live together in peace. Of course, rules can’t prevent disagreements from happening or tensions to rise from time to time, but they certainly help.
To make it possible for us to offer an atmosphere and environment which is conducive to personal transformation, we ask all participants to be aware of these guidelines:
SHARING OUR SPACE TOGETHER
Please switch off electronic devices (mobile phones/iPads/laptops//etc.) for the duration of the workshops.
To make it a comfortable space to share in close proximity to one another, with some workshops including dance, touch and close sharing, we ask everyone to be conscious of their personal hygiene, making sure their breath, hair, body parts and clothing are fresh and clean.
Any disagreements, different viewpoints and sharings to be done with respectful language and tone of voice. Sometimes people are already triggered or more sensitive due to the deep personal transformational work being done.
Prepare yourself before each workshop, by cleansing, relaxing and stretching so your mind and body is in the best possible state to transform.
Consumption of drugs (except prescription medications), cigarettes and alcohol are not permitted in the villa (pls. smoke outside). We don’t recommend any kind of alcohol or drugs as it can affect the group and the effectiveness of the workshops.
No shoes inside the space (pls. leave them inside the entrance and bring your own slippers if needed).
The space is vegan/vegetarian, so please consider this if you bring any food or drinks.
ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES that only apply for those staying at the villa
Please clean up after yourself (if you use it, clean it and tidy it away). When you use the kitchen, the bathroom, or a shared space, make sure you clean up after yourself when you’re done. Don’t leave a dirty dish in the sink for somebody else to clean up. If you take your toiletries into a shared bathroom to use, pack them up and take them with you when you’re done. If you’re eating out of a takeaway food container in a common area, throw it out/recycle it when you’re finished. Little things like this help to keep the space clean and tidy.
The space is vegan/vegetarian, so please consider this if you bringing any food or drinks. For those wishing to use the kitchen and cook will need to consider this.
Quiet hours are between 12 pm and 8 am: Everybody has different sleep schedules and quiet hours help us to respect them. Quiet hours mean no loud phone calls, media streaming or conversations in shared bedrooms and/or communal areas within this time frame. Think about if you’d enjoy being woken up by somebody else’s noisiness, and then show the same respect to your roommates.
FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT WITH ANY QUESTIONS

More Testimonials
Your workshops belong to my most precious experiences in Kophangan. Your intuition has always been on the point and I really appreciate your clarity, positivity, and authenticity. I enjoyed a deep journey into the own soul, getting out answers for a better understanding of self and life in a co-creative, interactive and very alive process with you and the group. I haven’t felt so close to my true self, my source, since a while and I am very happy to know that I can access it again and how. I am seriously thinking about doing a training. ???

Holding a Cacao Ceremony at Alchemy Retreat 2023, Crete.
I had the honour and the pleasure of facilitating at the Alchemy Retreat in Chania, Crete.
@Garywiner @freedo.master and @nadinehauser hosted, and held a beautiful space with kindness, acceptance and encouragement.
Gary’s powerful Freedo system lay at the retreat’s foundational basis, an invitation to explore and develop inner territories. Met some beautiful new souls too.
Bathing in sun and water was such a wonderful treat for my body and being, and exploring a little of Chania’s old town was fascinating.
The people of Crete are exceptionally welcoming and friendly.
I am full of gratitude for this beautiful opportunity to participate and also to share Cacao. #freedo #cacao #cacaoceremony #chania #crete - Annette Brulee
The Freedo Self Discovery Game changed my life.. The channelled archetypes break down the tiresome Dualities of The Ego.
Michael Day, Master Tarot and Astrology Reader
The entire workshop was wonderful ?
We then had a lovely lunch, a quick nap and went back for a transformational breath workshop. Oxygenising the body at its core and bringing deep healing in this very sacred space.
The camp then cooked around the open fire ? and we chatted until the wee hours.
This morning will begin with some gentle yoga before we have another full day of loveliness ?
I am having a spectacular time with some of the most gorgeous humans I’ve ever known.

Another Freedo Journey hunting the shadow with our most regular beautiful group ??? It was for me very painful and playful. Thank you Gary Winer for facilitating so well, I loved the psychodrama, being my own dad was a different and challenging experience and it change my perspective and shifted my energy, I started to feel grounded and after the workshop on my way home while walking through a big crowd I was amazed how I could get them out of my way without any effort they were literally moving away with only my presence. I truly recommend Freedo as it heals my soul.
~ Lina Jadao, Story Teller
I'm recommending Freedo to anyone who wants to get a CLEARER VISION about what their HEART DREAMS are and how to achieve them. In a compassionate and clear way Gary's guiding you to finding your heart dreams and really embody them, in a perfect mind - body balance.
His work cannot really be described, you have to come and experience it yourself!
I really appreciate his work and I learnt a lot from him??✨?
~ Clara Sophia, Yoga Guide
I experienced Gary’s work with Freedo in different settings.
From an intensive group session, a freedo group reading with several participants to a very personal individual reading.
Every time, the insights are very deep and touching.
With ease and joy of discovery, you dive deeper into your topics, get impulses and suggestions for your way.
The special thing is the address on different levels: from mind, in the body connected with the feeling and the spiritual.
Gary has an incredible intuition. With his authenticity and profound knowledge, he creates a beautiful space that makes it easy to get involved.
He has invested passion and commitment in his work over many decades. May it reach and inspire many more people! I am very grateful for our encounter and the guidance i was allowed to experience through him ??✨?
