In this episode of Recreation Rendezvous, we explore the gentle practice of forest bathing, or “Shinrin-yoku,” with certified Nature Informed Therapy practitioner Cheryl McDermott. Unlike traditional hiking, forest bathing is about slowing down, awakening the senses, and reconnecting with the natural world. Cheryl shares how this immersive experience can support mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall well-being—whether done alone or with others.
