Nature, ARTS & Mind: A Psychologist's Vision for Tomorrow
Psychologist with her pulse on tomorrow, Dana's multifaceted career spans explorations of rewilding the psyche, antifragility, and conscious media to global environmental advocacy.

Now, Dana introduces the "Chronicles of G.A.I.A." series. The series speaks to environmental activism, eco-literacy, and empowering the next generation.

The novel encourages readers to think about their futures and champion the earth. “Future Hack,” the award-winning first installment, will be followed by “Norbu’s Secret,” now available for pre-order..
