Do your New Year’s resolutions include some much-needed rejuvenation of mind and body? You can refresh and recalibrate with these Mindful Adventure Travel retreats that invite you to disconnect in a quiet park with dark, starry nights. Add in some coaching guidance for reconnecting and it’s a recipe for total renewal.
Mindful Adventure Travel Specialist Recal Travel harnesses the power of adventure, nature and mindfulness coaching to help travelers recalibrate with curated, retreat-style trips. The company’s 2022 adventures include unique ingredients such as Quiet Parks, Dark Sky Reserves and Breathwork.
Each trip is co-hosted by a curated group of independently-owned outfitters, in tandem with a Recal Mindfulness Coach. Recal (short for “recalibrate”) is headed to locations that not only offer adventure, but they’re also a few of the last remaining forms of pure nature, with trips to Glacier National Park (awarded a Dark Sky designation and Quiet Park nominee by Quiet Parks International), Anza-Borrego Desert (Dark Sky Park) and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota (also a Dark Sky and Quiet Park nominee). Each location brings something different: desert landscapes, glacial-fed lakes and mountains, thick forest lakes and rivers, rainforest-like terrain.
Recal’s mindful adventures enable travelers to center themselves, renew their sense of energy, and recalibrate their mind and body. Recal Coaches guide attendees through mindfulness practices, in particular breathwork that has many mental and physical benefits, not the least of which is how it enables you to be more present and self-reflective in the moment.
Pandemic or work-related stress and heavy workload cause burnout and can dangerously impact our health. Recal, whose new travel concept is called “Mindful Adventure Travel,” has a mission to help combat the effects of burnout. Each itinerary contains mindfulness-based activities, which are guided by a certified Recal Coach, and help rejuvenate both mind and body.
In addition to breathwork, Recal introduces guests to other mindfulness practices on each trip, such as journaling in their custom Recal Journal. They also provide coaching sessions to prepare for an upcoming trip and guidelines for how to remain calibrated — and keep burnout at bay — after the trip ends.
