Reawaken Your Human Nature

In these times of transformation, we need more than lifestyle changes—we need an inner shift, a deeper recognition that we are not separate from nature but intrinsically interconnected and profoundly dependent on its well-being.

I’m Dr. Dana Klisanin, founder of ReWilding: Lab, a space where we explore what it means to reawaken our human nature. We use evidence-based practices that draw upon the arts, nature, and mind-body practices to support reconnection, restore balance, and cultivate well-being.

Whether you're exploring personal growth, seeking emotional clarity, or simply longing to feel more alive and connected, you'll find experiences that support your wild and precious life.

A Creative Ritual for the Wild Within
Introducing Wild Willpower—an artful journey of intuition, nature, and sensory expression.

Part journal. Part ritual. Part field kit.
Wild Willpower invites you into a hands-on creative experience—designed to reawaken your wild intuition through art, symbol, and the living world around you.

Every kit includes a handbound artist’s journal, poetic prompt cards, and space for your personal rhythm to unfold.

No two journeys are the same—because the wild is different where you are.

Nature’s Wisdom: Backed By Science

Just 120 minutes in nature per week significantly improves health and wellbeing. A 20-minute forest walk reduces stress hormones by 13%.

Time in green spaces boosts creativity by 50%, enhances memory, and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.

At ReWilding: Lab, we integrate these scientific insights into our programs, helping you harness nature's proven benefits for optimal well-being.

  • Attending the Spring Renewal: Awaken Your Wild Self event was nothing short of transformational. From the moment I arrived, I felt held in a sacred space that allowed me to slow down and truly arrive in the present moment. The guided meditation was beautifully led—it gently peeled away the noise and helped me reconnect with my breath, my body, my memories of wild connection and the earth beneath me.

    One of the most powerful moments was the ritual of release. Letting go of old stories and stagnant energy in such an intentional, supported way was deeply healing. I didn’t realize how much I’d been carrying until I let it float away on the water.

    By the end of the program, I felt reawakened—like I’d remembered something ancient and true. The connection to nature, the elements, and to myself - I left feeling grounded, renewed, and inspired to keep living in alignment with the natural world. I can’t recommend this experience enough.

  • Attending Dana’s Wild Willpower workshop on a beautiful spring Saturday morning in Fayetteville was a truly enriching experience. Over the course of two thoughtful hours, our small group engaged in meaningful conversation, followed by a brisk walk that gently transitioned us into a deeper connection with nature along the banks of an urban creek. Despite being in the city, the setting felt worlds away—alive with the scent of wildflowers, the sound of water and birds, and the vibrant colors of spring—all awakening the senses in the most grounding way.

    Under Dana’s gentle, mindful guidance, I felt invited to release the weight of daily stress and simply be present. Her warm presence and deep understanding of nature’s healing power created a safe, restorative space that left me feeling both peaceful and renewed. Dana is a truly special facilitator, and I look forward to attending another of her workshops in the near future."  Cristina S.
