She brings over 10 years of experience as a professional wildlife biologist, and a lifetime of musicianship, leading several bands including her latest project Babelord. Lela is the founder of our first flagship program, Hike Club, which was created as a response to her extensive research on the Loneliness Epidemic.

Brinda is a sunset chaser and a mountain lover. She loves the meditative process of backpacking, and is always up for a hike that will turn legs into jelly. She enjoys writing poetry, learning about local activism, and sharing joy with others. Brinda likes to bring people together and believes in fostering a culture of openness, and she is thrilled to be a part of HÜMNKIND as a Hike Club leader.
