Where Earth's Power Meets Ancient Wisdom

Living with Earth's Energy

The geothermal resources of our village offer a unique advantage that we cherish. Often, our genealogical tales are intertwined with geothermal activity.

Sacred Waters

From the healing waters to the communities that surround them, this natural landscape is not only a source of tranquility, peace, and healing but also a vital part of our identity.
