The Founder
A seventh-generation Balinese healer, Gede carries forward a family lineage rooted in traditional wisdom, energy work, and ceremonial healing. He is the founder of Santhika Retreat Center and the creator of Dream Hill, a space shaped by his vision of a sanctuary where Balinese spiritual energies can support deep inner transformation.
From the age of 10, Gede studied Balinese yoga, numerology, spiritual practices, and energy healing under the guidance of his father, Guru Made Sudire. Today, he continues to honor these teachings through his work, blending ancestral knowledge with a deep commitment to preserving authentic Balinese traditions.
Gede also personally trains all Santhika SPA therapists in traditional Balinese techniques and leads full-moon ceremonies at the ancient Buddhist temple, offering guests a meaningful connection to local culture, ritual, and healing.
