About this Retreat
Your Guides
Dion Freeman is the Kaitiaki (guardian) and lineage holder of Honohono Healing International. He carries the teachings of his grandmother, Sally Ranguiaia Deery, and Tohunga (Spiritual Elder) Riwai Pakerau, who entrusted him with the responsibility of keeping Honohono alive and sharing it with integrity.
For over two decades, Dion has guided individuals and groups through healing, training, and transformation. His work is deeply rooted in Māori healing traditions while also responding to the needs of today, bridging ancient wisdom with modern life.
As teacher and facilitator of the Honohono Healing Retreat in Spain, Dion brings a presence that is both grounding and transformative. His teaching style combines clear guidance with deep care, offering a safe and powerful container for participants to explore, heal, and grow.
Dion’s vision is to open pathways for people across the world to reconnect to themselves, their whānau (families), and the collective through the sacred practice of Honohono.

Honohono Healing Retreat in Spain
October 10–16, 2025
A rare opportunity to experience traditional Māori healing in Europe
About the Retreat
Honohono is an ancient Māori healing practice rooted in energy, spirit, and connection. It restores balance to body, mind, and wairua (spirit), weaving together what has become separated. For the first time, this sacred lineage is being shared in Europe through a 7-day immersive retreat on the Spanish coast.
This is more than training. It is a sacred journey into remembering, reconnecting, and reawakening your life force. Held in the sanctuary of Villa Serena, Jávea, you will be guided by Dion Freeman, lineage holder and Kaitiaki (guardian) of Honohono Healing International.
