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.
