Hi!  I’m Dana. 

CREATIVITY + EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE = My area of interest, and what I see as the essential co-pilots of individual and cultural health.

I provide art, ideas, services, and information to people who want to apply CREATVITY + EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE to their personal, artistic, professional, and community growth.

There's an exciting, powerful movement happening today. Its leaders work in a variety of overlapping and interconnected fields like education, entertainment, arts, economics, psychology, healthcare, engineering, and community organizing. Our uniting force is a total commitment to identifying and scrapping outdated, harmful, previously-unexamined traditions and systems that have shaped our lives, while working to creatively define and design new cultural habits & priorities to replace them. The new priorities and habits explicitly require (and effectively cultivate) creative, emotionally intelligent, cognizant, healthy, relationship-minded people who help humanity evolve in a positive direction.
