What we do

A Living Invention Centre for Regenerative Culture

SOMOS is researching and experimenting creating a way of living that is centred on creation, aliveness and evolution.

We are researching regenerative ways of living on our land in Tenerife. Our land is a hub for the research and investigation of regenerative cultures, a place to bring people together who are also on fire to create an alternative to the way of living that is currently on offer.

Our Mission

Human beings are designed to be extraordinarily creative, generous, and collaborative geniuses capable of going beyond limitations, capable of transforming and inventing entire cultures and expressions of their values and their potential.

SOMOS is investigating how to create and inhabit a culture that prioritises above all else our intrinsic value and potential as human beings and how to live with purpose in ways are yet to be invented. We are the Guiena Pigs and the land is our laboratory. We are not experts, we are experimenters and our quest is to discover what else is possible.

We long to live in a way that unifies us with our nature, restoring and enhancing our power and vitality as human beings and the power and vitality of the ecosystems that are our home.

Worktrade Opportunities on Big Island Hawaii

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 ma***@*****************ii.com
