Rewilding the Mind for Human Flourishing
Dana Klisanin, Ph.D., helps audiences understand why attention, imagination, resilience, and human–nature connection are no longer optional capacities. They are essential for navigating technological acceleration, ecological disruption, and the future of wellbeing.
Her talks combine psychology, futures thinking, ethical technology, storytelling, and embodied insight to help people see change differently — and return to their work with greater clarity, agency, and care.
