Guru Gede is the creative mind behind Dream Hill, a sanctuary he brought to life from his imagination, and he personally trains all of our SPA therapists in traditional Balinese healing techniques.
Learning the sacred practices of yoga, healing, and spirituality from his father, Guru Made Sudire, at the young age of 10, Guru Gede has honed his craft over decades. Today, he joyfully imparts his knowledge, guiding others on their journey to wellness. He also practices Numerology using the ancient Balinese calendar and offers deep tissue healing massages.
Every Full Moon, Guru Gede leads a special ceremony and meditation at the ancient Buddhist Temple, Candi Buddha, where participants connect deeply with the island’s spiritual energy.
