Shinrin-yoku is the Japanese practice of forest bathing, a therapeutic technique prescribed to patients in Japan to help lower their blood pressure and stress levels, alleviate depression and anxiety, increase immune and autonomic function, improve sleep, and boost mood, creativity, energy, and concentration. Many studies have been done throughout the world to test the efficacy of this technique with significant positive results proving it to be a viable form of preventive care and auxiliary treatment.

Our next retreat will be June 6-9 at the Dragon Base Camp located right by the Hardy Dam and the Dragon Mountain Bike trail!

“Dragon Adventures Base Camp is a 23 Acre Adventure Base Camp in the Hardy Dam Area. We have been big supporters of the Dragon Trail installation and wanted to create a space for the adventure community to grow around one of our favorite trails! The Hardy Dam area doesn’t just offer some top-notch mountain biking through the Dragon Trail, it is also an area known for boating, hiking, and fishing, making this a huge adventure hub.” -Dragon Base Camp

Message us if you’re a Veteran (males only this trip, females will be in the fall) and would like to apply for this opportunity. The cost is ZERO dollars for all participants thanks to our many sponsors!

What are you doing to build your hardware and software? Are you focused more on one than the other?

Finding that balance and flow in life is key, but not always easy. Chaos, doubt, time (lack there of), maybe finances, injuries, can all creep in.

Just remember the easiest thing to do is inhale, and exhale and take it one step at a time 🙏🏻🙌🏻

Welcome our newest board member to The 90 Degree Ascent, Mark Reifsnyder!

This son of a Screaming Eagle wears many hats. Self-liberated banker turned marketing-guy. Wannabe surfboard maker. Official gym-rat. Certified lifeguard. After 25 years in banking, he reimagined his future and created a new reality working with the other mavericks at Maple Tree Marketing in Zeeland, Michigan.

Before that, he was sick and tired of being sick and tired, so he took his health seriously, losing 100 pounds the old-fashioned way: disciplined daily exercise and clean eating.
Mark and his wife Tiffany reside in Holland, Michigan with their two children and one annoyingly small dog named Biggs.

Mark is eager to help others, sympathetic towards those that have served, and is now setting his sights on the 90 Degree Ascent!
