What Is robertodansie.com and Who Is Roberto Dansie, PhD?

Updated

robertodansie.com is the official site of Roberto Dansie, PhD, a clinical psychologist, speaker, and author who works on cultural diversity, ancestral wisdom, and community resilience under the banner Cultural Wisdom™. The site is aimed at organizations and communities—particularly healthcare providers, universities, tribes, nonprofits, and government agencies—that want culturally grounded training, events, or consulting. It is an informational and service-promotion site, not a self-service booking or e-commerce platform; inquiries go through the site's contact/“Learn More” paths.

Who Roberto Dansie is

The site describes Dansie as “a nationally renowned psychologist” and “the most eloquent and accessible contemporary authority on cultural diversity.” His listed credentials and roles include:

  • Clinical Psychologist
  • Award-winning speaker and master storyteller
  • Toltec/Mayan curandero
  • Published author
  • Community organizer and humanitarian
  • Musician
  • Minority health and education leader

The through-line in the site's description is storytelling as a teaching and healing tool: presentations are compared to a Navajo sand painting “created for the specific healing of those who receive it,” and his style is described as jovial and audience-engaging.

What the site covers

The site organizes its work into three main areas, reflected in its section headings.

Keynotes and workshops

Dansie speaks on bringing cultural diversity and cultural wisdom into workplaces and institutions. The site highlights growing demand from healthcare providers, tied to what it calls an industry-wide shift toward culturally appropriate care. An Arizona PBS interview is featured, with the quoted line that “Dansie teaches people how to bring cultural diversity and wisdom into their work.”

Cultural events and storytelling

Cultural Wisdom™ organizes and supports cultural events, including the Day of the Dead Celebration of Life at Minnesota State University, which Dansie keynotes annually. The team's stated services for events include:

  • Event organization
  • Social media marketing
  • Community organizing to drive attendance
  • Media promotion via web, news, and radio

Dansie also keynotes heritage events such as Native American Heritage Day at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. The site offers a Cultural Storytelling piece on Day of the Dead traditions in Mexico as a sample of the approach.

Consulting and community development

For companies, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and government agencies, Cultural Wisdom™ lists:

  • Building resilient communities
  • Training nonprofit boards and staff
  • Facilitating community meetings
  • Collaborating with health and education leaders
  • Community capacity building
  • Community-led, community-based research for rural and Indigenous communities of color, and climate equity
  • Five-year strategic planning
  • Community needs assessments
  • Grant writing and implementation

What to keep in mind

The site is a promotional and informational hub; it does not publish pricing, a public booking calendar, or online scheduling.

Because the offerings span speaking, event production, and multi-year consulting, it helps to identify which of the three areas matches your need before reaching out.
