Dana works with conferences, universities, cultural institutions, foundations, leadership teams, technology organizations, and mission-driven companies interested in wellbeing, futures, creativity, ecological awareness, ethical innovation, and whole-person resilience.
What is human–nature connection, and why does it matter for organizations?
Human–nature connection refers to the felt, sensory, cognitive, and relational bond between people and the living world. In organizations, this work can support attention, restoration, creativity, stress recovery, systems thinking, and more regenerative ways of leading.
What is rewilding the mind?
Rewilding the mind is Dana’s approach to restoring human capacities that can be diminished by distraction, burnout, disconnection, and overreliance on technological environments. It draws from psychology, futures thinking, ecology, the arts, storytelling, and mind-body practice.
How does this work connect to ReWilding: Lab and Terrain?
ReWilding: Lab, soon to become Terrain, translates Dana’s research and frameworks into nature-based wellbeing experiences, workshops, and organizational programs. The work helps individuals and teams reduce stress, restore attention, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with the living world through guided, science-informed practice.
What kinds of programs are available for organizations?
Programs can include introductory talks, nature-based wellbeing sessions, guided sensory experiences, reflective writing or arts-based workshops, leadership retreats, team restoration programs, and customized experiences for organizations seeking to address burnout, attention fatigue, creativity, and whole-person wellbeing.
How can organizations support human flourishing in the age of AI?
Organizations can support human flourishing in the age of AI by strengthening the human capacities that become more important as intelligent systems accelerate change: attention, discernment, imagination, agency, ethical judgment, embodiment, and connection.
How is this different from AI literacy?
AI literacy helps people understand and use AI tools. Dana’s work goes further by focusing on human readiness: the psychological, relational, ecological, and imaginative capacities people need so technology serves human flourishing rather than quietly reshaping attention, identity, and behavior.
Does Dana work with technology, AI, or responsible innovation organizations?
