Freedom Rolfing

10/13/2026

💢 Have back pain which is preventing you from sleeping or getting through your day? That's no fun.

🌞 Rolfing Structural Integration addresses the systemic patterns which keep you locked into chronic pain. Think whole body wellness.

🩹 Many other therapies try to mask the pain or only look at the "problematic" area. Rolfing reorganizes your whole body so the patterns do not persist.

Operation Take Up Space officially begins THIS WEEKEND! If you're planning to join us in Western North Carolina, here's everything you need to know about where we'll be, when to meet us, and how you can participate.

You can join us for one event, one day, or the whole weekend. You do NOT have to be walking the entire 300+ miles to participate.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12

📍 GUIDON BREWING CO. | HENDERSONVILLE
⏰ 12:00–4:00 PM

We're kicking off Operation Take Up Space with an afternoon focused on veterans, military families, mental health, wellness, and community care.

Saturday is our kickoff event. The walking begins Sunday morning.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13

🥾 DAY 1: BLACK MOUNTAIN → OLD FORT

📍 MEET: Western Carolina State Veterans Cemetery

⏰ MEET US AT 9:00 AM

Sunday morning, we'll gather at the Western Carolina State Veterans Cemetery to officially begin the walking portion of our 300+ mile journey.

You do NOT have to commit to the entire march—or even the entire day's route. If you want to take the first steps with us, you are welcome. We will have a trail vehicle following us for folks that need to rest.

WHAT TO BRING: Comfortable walking shoes, water, sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, any snacks you need, and a plan for transportation after you're finished walking.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: If you're joining us for only part of the walk, please make your own transportation arrangements for your return. This is a point-to-point march, not a loop.

Our destination for the day is:
📍 Appalachian Mountain Brewery — Old Fort Outpost
78A Catawba Ave., Old Fort, NC

We'll arrive in Old Fort, get off our feet for a bit, grab some food/drinks, and get ready for our first community training.

SUNDAY AT 5:00 PM

🛡️ WOMEN'S PROTECTION TEAM TRAINING

📍 Appalachian Mountain Brewery — Old Fort Outpost
78A Catawba Ave., Old Fort, NC
⏰ 5:00 PM
💰 FREE & OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY

You do not have to participate in the march to attend the training. If walking isn't your thing, simply meet us at the brewery for the 5 PM training.

Operation Take Up Space is partnering with the National Women's March for an in-person Women’s Protection Team Training focused on practical community safety and election-protection skills.

The training will cover:

👀 Situational Awareness
How to recognize potential threats and think through mitigation measures in real time.

🤝 De-escalation & Protective Interventions
Understanding how people respond to conflict and violence and learning interventions based on your own abilities and capacity.

🗳️ Poll Site Monitoring & Documentation
Learning methods for observing and documenting potential poll-site interference or violence.

The goal is to give community members practical skills they can use to help keep themselves and others safer in public spaces, at community events, and around polling locations.

While Sunday nights aren’t for work, I’m allowed to remind those who know about changing your fixed point!

If you don’t, ask me about the

What if we think the other way around? 🤷‍♂️

Meet the quadratus plantae. 👋

It connects the calcaneus to the tendons of flexor digitorum longus (FDL).
The conventional description starts at the heel: quadratus plantae pulls on the FDL tendons, helping to straighten their oblique line of pull towards the toes.
Perfectly reasonable.

But what happens if we reverse the question?
During late stance in walking, the toes are extended and constrained by the ground while the heel rises above them.

So instead of asking:
What does quadratus plantae do to the FDL tendons?
ask:

What might the FDL tendons allow quadratus plantae to do to the calcaneus?

Now the same anatomy suggests another possibility.

The connection from the toes, through the FDL tendons and quadratus plantae to the heel, may help organise forces acting on the calcaneus as it moves over the forefoot.

Could quadratus plantae therefore contribute to the control and tracking of the calcaneus during heel rise? 👣

It's a functional hypothesis—but one that comes directly from looking at the same anatomy from the opposite direction.

Same muscle.
Same attachments.
Different direction of thinking.

Anatomy tells us what connects to what.

Understanding function requires us to ask what happens when those relationships meet the real world. 🎯

Sometimes understanding more begins by thinking the other way around.

Is anyone still interested in a Rolf Hike this year?

I only have a couple people asking for them so I was waiting to schedule. I feel like this fall would be a great time to do another one.

🚨BREAKING: A scientist in Japan demonstrated that the air inside a forest can strengthen your immune system for a full month.

Immunologist Qing Li of Nippon Medical School in Tokyo took 12 men on a three-day forest trip consisting of slow walks with no special breathing exercises or set routes.

Blood tests afterward showed a clear surge in natural killer cells — the immune cells that help the body fight viruses and cancerous cells.

The elevated levels were still measurable 30 days later.

A control group that walked the same distance through a city showed no change at all.

Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release airborne compounds called phytoncides as a natural defense. When people breathe them in, these compounds appear to activate immune cells.

Li’s research suggests that one forest walk a month may be enough to keep those cells elevated throughout the year.

Sometimes the best medicine does not require a prescription — just time among the trees.

Great way to round off a Sunday fun day with sore rest and relaxation!

😍Sound Bath with Jarek 😍 Sunday, Aug 9th • 4:00 PM
✨ It's time to get gonged. ✨

(We promise that's a good thing.)

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to take the world's best nap...without actually falling asleep?

Or maybe you do fall asleep. Honestly, that's between you and the gong. 😴

Join us for an immersive Sound Bath with Jarek, where you'll simply get comfortable while the rich, resonant sounds of crystal bowls and gongs wash over you. No yoga poses. No flexibility required. No awkward icebreakers. Your only job is to show up and exist.

Here's how it works:
✨ Find a comfy spot on the floor (or settle into a chair)
✨ Get cozy with blankets and pillows
✨ Close your eyes
✨ Let the waves of sound do their thing

People often leave feeling deeply relaxed, clear-headed, surprisingly refreshed, or like they just took the best mental vacation without ever leaving Sanford.

Think of it as a spa day for your nervous system...except nobody is trying to sell you cucumber water afterward. 🥒😉

Bring your favorite blanket, pillow, eye mask, fuzzy socks, or anything that helps you nest.

🎶 No experience needed.
🎶 No meditation skills required.
🎶 No wrong way to do it.

Just come curious.
