Robin Reindle
Robin Reindle’s love for the natural world began as a child experiencing deep interactions immersed in forest and stream. These early encounters fostered a lasting love affair with our beautiful living planet. Over time, this relationship has become tempered by concern about the growing degradation of natural ecosystems. Discovering the promise of regenerative practices grounded in soil health ignited a fresh sense of hope for our collective future. As Executive Director of Round Mountain Institute, Robin works to bring people together around practical solutions that restore the land and strengthen community resilience in the North Fork Valley and beyond.
Executive Director Round Mountain Institute
Kiril Cameron Dionne was born in Florida in 1987. After burning out of career in finance in his late 20s, he was reborn in the rocky mountains of Colorado on a small offgrid education permacuture farm called Tomten Farm. This powerful experience helped expand his love for nature, permaculture, spiritual practices, and regenerative agriculture. Now he has passion for bringing permaculture principles and ethics to alternative networks of exchange that mimic the decentralized infinite abundance of the mycelium network of mushrooms instead of the corrupt centralized system of control of Blackrock and debt based money. "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete". Buckminster Fuller

Reina Skye Nelson grew up in the mountains of Northern New Mexico where the landscape served as her first and best teacher. She believes that in these uncertain times it is important to listen to the lessons the earth holds and use these as a roadmap to the future. Regenerative agriculture is at its core about being in conversation with the land. Through her work with Round Mountain Institute, Reina hopes to amplify the teachings the earth so generously offers us.

Sky kettenring
Sky kettenring moved to New Mexico when she was nine years old, and first fell in love with the wild there. She began to attend permaculture and regenerative farming classes a few years later, and is still constantly seeking ways to honor nature. Working with round mountain institute as secretary, she hopes to be able to share some of her love for the earth and contribute to the efforts to recognize our impact upon it.
