Lynne is a close friend of Kayser Ridge’s Soul Guide, Dawn Graham. In the last several years, Lynne has brought her own talents, ideas, and positive spirit to KR. Having been in sales, marketing and event planning she’s learned to read a room. It is her love of connection and hospitality that feeds her soul to the highest at Kayser Ridge.

I’ve been a part of Kayser Ridge since very early on and in many different capacities and versions (of the space and of myself!) …all very special in there own way.
Cliff and his unwavering sense of generosity and openness have always provided the space and support to step into each role, always extending trust and gratitude along the way. It’s this openness and generosity that all who visit KR are welcomed with and it’s what kr’s foundation is built on.

The latest venture up on the ridge has been a purging of sorts…getting rid of and repurposing the old while welcoming in the new, a transformation from the inside out.
At times there’s a method to the madness and at others it feels like kr is a piece of art that will always evolve as a result of all the people and the impactful work that move through the space. whether it’s personal work or group, it’s a true honor to witness and be inspired by it all.

In late 2025, along with the refresh of the space, our brand became a bit clearer as well…Kayser Ridge has dropped “retreat and learning center” from the name, not because we won’t be retreating and learning …but after all this time it became clear…Kayser Ridge is a home, built by and cared for by Cliff Kayser. It’s Cliff’s home that he invites us all into and what an honor to be welcomed into one’s home. He built Kayser Ridge with the intention of hosting groups and individuals, to gather around the table, to break bread while sharing with and learning from one another. Retreating, learning and connecting, to nature , to self and to one another, that feels like a home.

Nico is a builder and carpenter who brings both skill and heart into the spaces he creates. Born and raised in Colombia, he studied music and architecture at the University of Bogotá, where his path began weaving together art, design, and spirituality. His journey deepened through time spent living with the indigenous people in the Sierra Nevada, where he shared music with children and learned from their cosmology and healing practices. This experience of simplicity, balance, and harmony with the elements continues to inspire his work and life.

After moving to the United States, Nico focused on permaculture, organic farming and sustainable building. Now working as a project manager in remodeling, his passion remains in sustainable projects —shaping spaces in nature and creating environments that support reflection, connection, and healing, such as Kayser Ridge. For him, building is not just construction, its creating an Xperience where people can come together to connect as one heart and one mind.
