Introduction

Nature, Arts & Mind: A Leadership Vision for Sustainable Futures


Dana Klisanin is a psychologist, futurist, and thought leader. She is the founder of ReWilding: Lab and pioneer of ReWilding Leadership™, an innovative approach that reconnects leaders with the wisdom of the natural world to foster creativity, resilience, and sustainability. She helps executives and organizations cultivate the skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing environment by integrating neuroscience, leadership theory, and nature-inspired practices.

Recognized by Forbes as one of the world's top female futurists, her work empowers leaders to navigate complexity, build future-ready organizations, and lead with purpose. Offerings are grounded in scientific research with Dr. Klisanin's body of work, including over 30 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, edited books, and peer-reviewed special issues exploring innovative research in antifragility, rewilding the human psyche, conscious media, and environmental advocacy.

Dana is passionate about supporting leaders of all ages. Her award-winning middle-grade series, Chronicles of G.A.I.A., champions environmental activism and eco-literacy for the next generation. In the series, kid heroes are recruited by the Global Anticipatory Intelligence Agency (G.A.I.A.) to protect the planet. The first book, Future Hack, has won multiple awards, and the highly anticipated sequel, Norbu’s Secret, is now available for pre-order.
