Dr. Dana Klisanin

Dana Klisanin, Ph.D., is a psychologist, futurist, author, and speaker whose work explores human futures, nature-based wellbeing, ethical technology, and transformational storytelling. She helps leaders and organizations build resilience, imagination, and wellbeing through human–nature connection. Her Rewilding the Mind framework focuses on restoring capacities that can be weakened by speed, distraction, disconnection, and technological saturation, including attention, imagination, embodiment, kinship, and care.

Dana offers research-grounded keynotes and talks for conferences, universities, foundations, and organizations, alongside experiential workshops and immersive programs. These experiences aim to restore attention, reduce stress, and reconnect participants with creativity, their senses, and the living world. She also undertakes custom research frameworks, partnerships, and advisory collaborations spanning psychology, futures thinking, ecology, technology, and the arts.

Her work supports clearer thinking amid complexity, renewed creative energy, and a regenerative approach to leadership, ethical decision-making, and future readiness. Dana’s publications and creative projects include books such as The Art of Wild Willpower, Chronicles of G.A.I.A., Feeding the Wild Bird, and Work Terrain.
