Dana Klisanin

Dana Klisanin is a psychologist committed to creating, promoting, and assisting in the development of media that encourages people to live consciously. To facilitate that end, she has pioneered the area of  “evolutionary guidance media” ^__ media designed to support the societal emergence of planetary consciousness. Rather than accepting the status quo, evolutionary guidance media is designed to support a global renaissance of human values and a profound shift in our relationship with the natural world.

Dr. Klisanin earned her Ph.D. in psychology from Saybrook University. She is the author of numerous articles and is a frequent presenter at conferences throughout North America, Asia, and Europe. Her research interests arise from the fields of systems science, integral theory, and transpersonal psychology. Dr. Klisanin is the Founder of Evolutionary Guidance Media R&D, Inc, a think-tank and creative cauldron devoted to the design, evaluation, marketing, and branding of conscious media, socially responsible media, green media, and transformative media. She currently serves as Executive Director of the c3:MindLAB at the Center for Conscious Creativity, a research and project development Lab focused on emerging findings in creativity and innovation theory, neuroscience, consciousness studies, transpersonal psychology and integral studies in relationship to the arts, media and communication technologies and their use to create and drive solutions for evolving human potential and cultural evolution.

Dr. Klisanin blogs for Psychology Today. She is a member of the American Psychological Association; Association of Transpersonal Psychology; International Society for the Systems Sciences; World Futures Studies Federation; and the UK Systems Society.

Recent research includes application of Ken Wilber’s Integral Operating System to evolutionary guidance media, as well as on-going research in digital altruism and the cyberhero archetype.
