Natureza Gabriel Kram is a connection phenomenologist. He has spent the past 25 years studying the art & science of connection and wellbeing through six primary disciplinary lenses: neurophysiology, mindful awareness, social justice, cultural linguistics, deep nature connection, and non-cognitive ways of knowing. He is Convener of the Restorative Practices Alliance, a philanthropic ancestral neuro-technology cooperative and culture repair engine, the Founder and CEO of Applied Mindfulness, Inc. where he directs research, curriculum development, and pedagogy, and is co-founder of the Academy of Applied Social Medicine, where Dr. Stephen Porges, PhD is honorary chair of Neurophysiology. He studied at Yale and Stanford Universities, but has been shaped more by sitting in teepees and circles than in classrooms. He has been blessed with remarkable mentors in many cultures and lineages and disciplines. He lives with his family on Miwok territory in Northern California.
