Fabio Freddi

Fabio Freddi is born and raised in Varese, Italy. He is getting his counselor degree at the Integral Transpersonal Institute of Milan. His path of inner growth brought him to work for many years with the Mexican Yok'hah Maya Nahual tradition, the Afro-Brazilian shamanism and the teachings of the Indian Master Baba Bedi: his therapeutic approach unifies these visions to wake up the personal power of self-healing. He also got a bachelor’s degree in Human Communication Sciences and he developed experience and skills in graphic design and promotion fields. He has been djing and scratching records since the age of 15: after years of dj competitions, music production and club djing, he is now leading transpersonal experiences where the bodymind work melts down with dance, music and free expression. Currently he is also working in educational and social projects for young people and adults.
