What is SOMOS?
​​SOMOS is a journey of self-discovery and development enabled through movement, nature immersion and group integration. You will learn how to regulate your nervous system and unlock a deeper somatic intelligence that exists within.
Why SOMOS?
SOMOS will help you navigate change and uncertainty in both your life and career. The skills you will learn on this programme will enable you to thrive in stressful situations, make big decisions, solve complex problems and collaborate more effectively with others.

Testimonials
"SOMOS was a transformative learning experience for me in so many ways. The design and facilitation is thoughtful and intentional, drawing on content that is thought-provoking and interconnected, with time and space for personal and collective integration. The team behind SOMOS have managed to create that elusive experience of community, belonging, challenge and learning in a setting of incredible natural beauty and genuine belonging. I have learned practical skills that I’m already applying to my personal and professional life, reimagined what it means to be regenerative and embodied in my work and relationships, and made friends for life. Can’t recommend enough - just say yes!"
Sarah Brown
Head of Learning and Learning Improvement at International Schools Partnership Limited
"The SOMOS experience offered a perfect balance of personal reflection and collective integration, set against the backdrop of the natural beauty of Selgars Mill Estate! The SOMOS team cultivated a wonderful sense of community and belonging throughout the programme with a great balance of content, embodiment and time in nature. I’ve not only redefined my approach to regeneration and embodiment in my work and relationships but also forged inspirational connections and had a great time as well!"

"This was such a transformative experience that I will remember forever among such amazing people, in such a beautiful place!"
David Bole
Head of Sector Capacity & Green Economy at the Forestry Commission
"SOMOS set within the beauty of Selgars Mill was nothing short of a magical experience. Everything from the design of the programme, the short activities, the self-reflection time and nature immersion was well thought out and gently facilitated so that every part of the day was invigorating. All of this was accompanied by delicious and nourishing food. The result was to leave with a rejuvenated mind, body and soul equipped with the tools to thrive in both personal and professional life."

SOMOS is about learning to see ourselves and our lives as a living system
There is a reason why we feel better and think clearer when surrounded by nature. There is a reason why we get that breakthrough idea after going for a run. A deeper human intelligence exists within each of us. What we need is not more over-intellectualised stories and theories, but rather a space to reconnect with ourselves, each other and the natural world. It is only when we engage our emotions, our senses and our whole being in the process of change that we begin to face our shadows and transform our behaviours.
"I had never been to retreats, events nor workshops on these topics and Somos was for me a great combination of introduction to concepts, self reflective practices, sharing with others and nature filled and meaningful moments. A gift to myself, my family, my friends and the people I work with."

Nature Immersion
The highest quality of learning and human development happens when we step into community and learn with and through others. This work is not theoretical, is it deeply relational, practical and embodied. This is why the setting and the facilitation matters so much. Something incredible happens when we go into nature. We get out of our heads and start to relax. We start to notice the sounds, the colours, the textures and the interconnected life that surrounds us. Eventually this awareness shifts inwards and the process of inner transformation can begin.
Hosted at Selga rs

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift."

- Albert Einstein
Facilitation Team
We created SOMOS because we are passionate about the role that embodiment and nature immersion can play in field of human and organisational development and we want to explore this passion with others. We think of SOMOS as a community of practice rather than a course or a qualification. We are creating a safe container where we can experience the sensory magic of Selgars Mill, listen more deeply to our embodied intuition and learn from each other through group dialogue and feedback.

Throughout my life and career I have been researching and experimenting with how to cultivate states of sustained focus and flow. What I have learned is the importance of consistent self-reflection, somatic practices for regulating your nervous system and spending time in nature when making big strategic decisions and processing complex emotional dynamics and situations. The process of inner transformation requires us to get out of our default patterns of thinking and behaviour, and to listen to the wisdom that exists within our emotions, sensations and embodied intuition.
