It’s a way of doing things that we call The Somerby Spark. The pillars of Spirituality, Purpose, Activity, Relationships, and Knowledge form the foundation of all we do at Somerby,” Harwood described. “Our five key Discover Your Spark® objectives: supporting positive life choices, fostering meaningful relationships, honoring history and traditions, encouraging exploration and growth, and being champions of fun.”
