Meet Anthony 

“Hello, I’m Anthony Lorubbio! I’m a certified transformational travel designer and a mindfulness coach, primarily in breathwork. I founded Recal, a company that specializes in Mindfulness and Adventure Travel. Recal focuses on helping entrepreneurs and executives recalibrate their nervous systems in the great outdoors.”

A Journey Through Modern Life

My journey through the stresses of modern life led me to discover the concept of the ‘Modern Human Condition,’ which explains the disconnect between how humans live today and how we’ve evolved to live. This realization led to the creation of Recal, where we use nature and science-based tools to help clients navigate stressors and challenges.

Credentials

I am a certified coach under the Wim Hof Method, Oxygen Advantage, and Peak Flow mindfulness modalities. I am also an Advisory Board Member at the non-profit Quiet Parks International, our official partner in mindful adventure trips into the world’s quietest places.

Motivation for Shinrin Yoku Guide Training

I am interested in Shinrin Yoku Guide training as it aligns perfectly with what we do at Recal. We aim to facilitate our clients’ ability to tap into their body intelligence, open up their senses, and experience numerous health benefits. I plan to integrate SYA Guide Training into my professional work in various ways, including working with SYA coaches globally and implementing more Shinrin Yoku practices into our Quiet Park Trip Series.

Personal Statement: How the Forest Changed My Life

The forest has been a sanctuary for me, especially during challenging times. Nature has the incredible power to heal, and I aspire to be a conduit for many people to experience that same type of healing that nature offered me.

We are excited to see how Anthony will utilize the SYA Guide training to expand his impactful work at Recal and beyond. Congratulations again, Anthony!

Good luck, Anthony, as you embark on this transformative journey with us!
