Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and in love with the beach, the trees, and the music, Carla Zorzanelli has journeyed from an urban way of living toward a deep connection with nature and the more-than-human world. After earning a Master's in Science at Schumacher College in the UK, she became a certified Forest Therapy guide with the ANFT, deepening her path through Rewilding, Deep Ecology, Shamanism, Ancient Indigenous wisdom, Jungian studies, and Regeneration—even living in a tent in the African Savannah along the way. Carla now brings Forest Therapy to Brazil, actively guiding groups and offering nature connection courses to diverse audiences. She co-founded EcoUni, an ecological university promoting regenerative learning for an ecofuture.

Amos Clifford is the founder of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs and author of the bestselling Your Guide to Forest Bathing (Conari Press, 2018). After over 20 years studying Buddhist philosophy, he founded Sky Creek Dharma Center in 2004, emphasizing meditation in wild places. By 2008, he'd moved beyond Buddhist identity toward the nameless experiences he'd had in nature since childhood, deepening his inquiry into human and more-than-human relationships. Between 2010-2012, intensive wilderness practice with the School of Lost Borders led to his vision for ANFT, founded in 2012 and inspired by Japanese Shinrin-yoku. He developed the school's "Standard Sequence" over the following two years. Amos holds degrees from the University of San Francisco and teaches and leads retreats internationally.
