Concept
ACT4LOVE is a global movement built on simple acts of love — walking, dancing, hugging, and expressing presence.
Through our Letting Go program, you’ll release emotional blocks, reconnect with love, and naturally begin to move again — with purpose, joy, and freedom.
Why?
Emotional weight keeps us stuck. ACT4LOVE sets you free—helping you release, move, and reconnect with love. When you heal, your energy uplifts others.
Freedom spreads through movement. One smile, one dance, one act of love at a time.
How does it work ?
With uplifting walks, dance challenges, and emotional healing, you’ll let go of what no longer serves you — and start living freely.
Your healing becomes someone else’s hope. Every step becomes a symbol of love. Your dance becomes a spark of joy for the world.
Join us on Youtube for real-time inspiration as we walk the world to uplift others.
UPLIFTERS DANCE CHALLENGE
“This challenge is about uplifting your life through movement.
The goal is to uplift 100,000 people before the end of 2025. We’re already at 33,844 people.

Interview on TV in Kosovo
ABOUT the founder
My name is Jean-Philippe Marier, I’m from Quebec, Canada.
I grew up feeling the emotional pain of people I love and I always wanted to help… but I didn’t know how. So I started my healing adventure by walking around the world and offering hugs and compliments to strangers every day. Uplifting their day and hoping to inspire them to begin their own healing adventure.
How this project all begin?
The breakthrough moment was when I realize the negative impact of the pandemic and the social distancing measures on people’s mental well-being, I started to think about ways to help.
Since lots of people were missing physical touch and that a hug has so many benefits including improving mental well-being, I thought: ”I will give hugs everyday, everywhere around the world to everyone who wants”. That’s how HUG4LOVE is born.
Than I decided to mix my project with my biggest passion: self-development.
In order for me to reach my dream life of travelling the world and giving hugs to thousands of people, I had to transform. I had to change my mindset, acknowledge my healthy self-esteem and learn how to discipline every area of my life (Physical health, Mindset health, Relationship health, emotional health, Financial health)
In January 2025, After almost 3 years of giving hugs every single day, I had the idea to expand my mission of uplifting people in many more ways as oppose to just hugs. I changed the name from HUG4LOVE to ACT4LOVE so that it includes a broader variety of act of contribution making it accessible to more people. I kept on going every single day with this expanded new version.
Our common goal to uplift 100,000 people worldwide before the end of 2025 remains the same.
As of April 2025, it became clear that walking should be at the heart of this movement—because it’s universal, relatable, and inspires action. At the time of writing these words, the founder had already walked over 7,961 kilometers to uplift others.
In June 2025, we found the idea to organize an Uplifting challenge base one something super uplifting and even more relatable than hugs, compliments and walking. It’s dancing. The act of dancing is super uplifting and I believe it’s the path to reach our goal to uplift 100,000 people.
I started the Movement in February 2022 by giving the first hug in Montreal, Canada and I never stopped. Watch my adventures around the world on Youtube

First group hug distribution on October 20th, 2024! From left to right: Vanessa, Linda, Andy, Annie!
Testimonials:
Je vais toujours me souvenir du 20 octobre 2024. J’ai sorti de ma zone de confort, ce qui pour moi demande beaucoup de courage. Le sentiment de partager un câlin et discuté avec des inconnus m’a vraiment revigoré d’énergie, de dopamine et d’endorphines ! En plus, je suis reconnaissante d’avoir rencontré Linda, Annie et Andy. Une première sortie, mais loin d’être la dernière.
Vanessa
Il n’y a pas assez de mots pour décrire mon expérience de cet aventure qui est bénéfique pour la personne qui reçoit un câlin et la personne qui le donne. Un câlin, c’est un geste simple mais puissant, un vrai baume pour l’âme. Il réchauffe le cœur, apaise les angoisses et rapproche les gens. Donner un câlin, c’est offrir un moment de tendresse, un instant de connexion qui fait oublier les tracas de la vie. En partageant cet échange de douceur, on crée un espace de bien-être, où les sourires se multiplient et les craintes s’envolent. Un câlin est un cadeau précieux, un moyen silencieux mais fort de dire “tu comptes”.

I had one of the nicest Moroccan experience with my friend Annas here. Shortly after we met, we formed a little group and we cooked a tagine on a fire next to the beach! Super traditional experience and it was delicious.

I was going through my Tiktok comments on my videos and this guy, Abdennacer wrote to me that if ever I was visiting his city, I could live with his family! I actually did. I met his mom, his brothers and sisters and the nephew and nieces. They were all lovely people and I was so grateful for so much kindness, so much generosity! I will always remember you my friend.
