In the tapestry of cannabis culture, art, advocacy, and entrepreneurship, wellness is a thread that often weaves communities together. It’s within that space that The Lifted Network — under the leadership of TeeJay Valentine — is launching an exciting initiative: the High Frequency Run Club.
What Is the High Frequency Run Club?
At its core, the High Frequency Run Club is a running collective designed not just for physical health, but for energetic alignment, cultural connection, and intentional community-building. Here’s what it promises:
- Beat-Driven, Intention-Fueled Runs — Each session may incorporate curated soundscapes (music, guided frequencies, ambient beats) to elevate mood and sync the group’s energy.
- Mindful Movement — Beyond just pace and distance, the run may include moments of breathwork, affirmations, or short intention pauses mid-course.
- Community & Conversation — Participants can connect before or after the run over refreshments, sharing stories, visions, or updates in cannabis culture, wellness, and life.
- Accessible to All Levels — Whether you’re a casual jogger or seasoned runner, the club is structured to provide varying paces and support.
- Hybrid & Cultural Touchpoints — Some runs might be in-person (in cities where the network is present), others virtual (so remote participants can sync up), and some tied into broader Lifted Network events or “Cannabis Culture Connection” gatherings.
Joining the High Frequency Run Club offers more than steps per mile: it invites participants into a shared energetic experience, a chance to move together in harmony, and to connect with kindred spirits across the cannabis culture community.
Why It Matters: Health, Connection, & Culture
1. Wellness as Resistance
In many marginalized communities, access to wellness resources, safe outdoor spaces, or group movement practices is limited. A run club under a cultural umbrella offers access, normalization, and sacred space for people to prioritize health — body, mind, and spirit.
2. Breaking Stigma Through Lifestyle
Cannabis culture is often stereotyped or simplified. By melding cannabis culture with holistic living and movement, The Lifted Network helps shift the narrative: people in this community aren’t just consumers — they are vibrant, conscious, health-centered human beings.
3. Energy & Vibration Alignment
“High frequency” as a phrase suggests a vibration, a state of being. In many healing or spiritual traditions, raising frequency is about lifting one’s energy. Movement, breath, music, and community can all contribute to that uplift. The run club channels that ethos in physical form.
4. Networking in Motion
Events are powerful, but shared experience in motion — running side by side — fosters deeper bonds. Ideas, collaborations, or friendships often spark organically in these settings, making the run club fertile ground for community growth.
How to Join — What to Expect
While specific details (dates, locations, how to register) may vary based on your city or remote possibilities, here’s how you can expect the process to go:
- Check The Lifted Network’s Events Page
The network maintains an “Events” page listing upcoming events and activations. (Though at present, some events are placeholders awaiting scheduling.) Lifted Network - RSVP / Register
Once a run is announced in your region or virtually, there will likely be a registration or RSVP link. This could help organizers group participants by pace or region. - Receive Pre-Run Packet or Orientation
To align everyone, organizers might send a short guide: suggested playlist, intention prompts, meeting point or streaming link, safety guidelines, and warm-up instructions. - Show Up (In Person or Online)
Arrive a bit early to connect, stretch, set your intention. The run proceeds with coordinated beats, mindful markers, and pacing groups. - Post-Run Circle
After the run, there may be a “circle” — a short group check-in or chat, opportunity to share reflections, pass around healthy treats or refreshments, and network.
Tips for First-Time Participants
- Wear breathable, moisture-wick clothing and good running shoes.
- Bring water, a towel, and optionally a journal for reflections.
- Be open to community energy, even if you run solo — trust the collective vibration.
- Start slow — let your body ease into the rhythm; don’t push too hard just to keep up.
- Engage after the run — conversations in those moments often reveal connection points, upcoming projects, or camaraderie.
Vision for Growth & Impact
If the High Frequency Run Club scales well, it could evolve into:
- Regional Chapters — Local Lifted Network hubs organizing regular runs in neighborhoods across the country (or internationally).
- Themed Runs & Retreats — Tying into larger cannabis culture activations, wellness retreats, sound baths, or holistic festivals.
- Digital Integration — An app or platform where members can track runs, share playlists, post reflections, connect with others.
- Scholarships or Outreach Drops — Offering free run club access in underserved communities, subsidizing gear, or hosting pop-up runs in places with limited wellness infrastructure.
