How we breathe and push this election season?

Dear Friends,

The Revolutionary Love Bus Tour is in its FINAL WEEK, and we’re thrilled to continue connecting with all the new friends we’ve made along the way, exploring the Revolutionary Love Framework deeper.

Last month, we held our first Virtual Tea Date on Nurturing Joy in Chaotic Times. Thank you to all that joined! We opened our hearts and found courage through our shared joy. Now, we invite you to the next gathering in our Fall Community Series: Loving Ourselves Through the Practices of Breathe and Push. As we near the final days of the election season, we must practice community care to sustain our shared future. Register to join us on Wed, Oct 30th at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET.

Breathe and Push are both practices on the Revolutionary Love Compass.

To push is to choose to enter uncomfortable emotions, memories, and thoughts as part of a healing process. It’s seeing the humanity of those who hurt us and accepting the pain we may have caused another.

Breathing is the practice of noticing your breath and letting it deepen. It is also the act of slowing down to care for our bodies, minds, and spirits — to assert that our bodies are worthy and beloved.

On the birthing table, if we don’t breathe, we will die, and if we don’t push, we will die. In this alternating cycle, we find strength, courage, and care for one another in community. As we learn to navigate these practices, we must ask ourselves: What internal work does it take to push? What does it mean to let in breath? How do we know when to put each into practice?

Join us for an interactive evening as explore these questions with resources, stories, and beloved community on Wednesday, October 30th, at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET. Bring your tea, your stories, your hearts, and your courage. Register to attend here.

In solidarity,

The Revolutionary Love Project Team

p.s. For those who still want to join us on tour in person, find an event near you and register here. Invite your friends, family, and community into a space where we can open our hearts to our deepest humanity.


Start here with our introduction to the compass. We teach ten core practices of revolutionary love, backed by research and infused with ancestral wisdom. Imagine these practices as points on a compass. Point the compass toward whomever you want to practice loving— another, an opponent, or yourself. Decide what practice you need. You can use this compass as a tool in all arenas in your life.

Listen to Valarie Kaur walk you through the compass and explore stories, lesson plans, meditations, and music on our learning hub. Click here to explore!
