Meet the Positive Energy Explorer

My name is Jean-Philippe Marier.
I’m from Quebec, Canada.

During the pandemic, the world felt disconnected.

I had a simple thought:

What if human interaction could become a game of energy?

So I started small.

In February 2022, in Montreal, I created my first real-life energy boost with a stranger.

I never stopped.

I began tracking every energy interaction.

After 1,500+ days in 52 countries, it became:
44,000+ energy boosts created.

At first, it was called HUG4LOVE — focused on physical connection.

But the game evolved.

In January 2025, it became ACT4LOVE.

Now players can boost energy in many ways:
real-life actions, digital cards, and interactions.

Today ACT4LOVE is a global energy game where:
Every boost = 1 point
Every person = a player
Every day = a new opportunity to impact energy

We don’t collect likes.
We create human energy.

Testimonials of group adventures

« J’ai vraiment adoré mon expérience de don de câlins avec HUG4LOVE! Donner et recevoir du réconfort d’une personne, qu’on la connaisse ou pas, ça fait un bien immense! Le monde entier a besoin d’amour, on a besoin de ça! Un seul câlin peut faire une très grande différence dans la vie de quelqu’un! N’hésitez pas à faire le grand saut!

Andy

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 ».

Linda
