Workshops, lectures and the Rolfing® Gathering Days will make this week a rich, unforgettable experience – both professionally and personally.

This is your community. This is your meeting.
Rolfing® Gathering Days
Rolfing® Gathering Days – Saturday, 26 September & Sunday, 27 September 2026: The heart of the Biennial Meeting.
Two days to reconnect with colleagues from across Europe, exchange perspectives and explore different facets of Rolfing® Structural Integration – through lectures, practical sessions, movement, discussion and time together as a community.
This year, Saturday and Sunday each have their own character: Saturday brings new ideas and professional perspectives to the table, while Sunday invites you to move, experiment and learn from one another.
Friday - REO chairs meeting
We will be kicking it off with a chair meeting of our Regional Associations from 6-7pm.
Saturday - Lectures, Insights, and Shared Learning
Saturday brings together Peter Schwind, Robert Schleip and Russell Stolzoff for a day of lectures, discussion and exchange.
The programme spans a broad range of perspectives on Rolfing Structural Integration: Peter Schwind will present a new concept relating to curvatures of the back and kinks of the vertebral spine, Robert Schleip will share current insights from fascia science and their relevance for Rolfing practice, and Russell Stolzoff will contribute his perspective on Rolfing and sports.
The day also includes our Members Information session, followed by time to reconnect over dinner and the Saturday evening party.
Sunday – Community Day: Sharing, Exploring & Moving Together
Sunday is a day created by members, for members – practical, experiential and interactive.
Start the morning outdoors with Marcel Teeuw, exploring contralaterality, coordination and spatial awareness through Nordic Walking. Continue with Uli Förg’s Feet in Motion, combining movement exploration, body reading and hands-on work.
Later, Sascha Bauer will draw on 28 years of experience to explore Rolfing practice in the context of trauma and emotional responses, before Florian Thomas closes the day with an interactive exploration of voice, movement, breathing and embodiment.
A day to move, try things out, exchange ideas and discover new perspectives together.
Please note: The Sunday programme is provisional and may be subject to modification.
Come and be part of it
The Gathering Days are about more than individual lectures or workshops. They are a rare opportunity to spend two days with the wider European Rolfing® community – to meet old and new colleagues, share experience and take fresh ideas back into your own practice.
It’s not too late to join us in Innsbruck.

Travel & Stay
Innsbruck is always worth a visit. If your schedule allows, why not extend your stay by a few days? The city combines vibrant urban life with immediate access to the mountains. Whether it’s a walk through the historic old town, a trip into the Alps, or simply time in nature, the region offers many ways to round off your visit in a meaningful way.
Travel Notes (Oktoberfest Season)
Innsbruck has an international airport and a central train station with good connections.
You may also consider flying to Salzburg, Memmingen or Verona and continuing to Innsbruck by train.
Travelling via Munich is another convenient option. Please note, however, that our meeting takes place during a very busy travel period, overlapping with Munich’s Oktoberfest.
This can be a lovely opportunity to combine your trip with a visit to the Wiesn. At the same time, demand and prices for flights and accommodation around Munich tend to rise significantly during this period.
Our recommendation is to book early. If you plan to stay in Munich, it is advisable to secure accommodation as soon as possible.
