we need each other. to center. to ground. to prepare for what is ahead for us & our communities.
we will need leadership precision for this political period.
we will need to fortify and then fortify again and again.
January 20th, 2025 will mark a dark period in our political history, promising to deeply erode our deepest values towards justice, equity, and collective liberation. Now, more than ever, movement agents must prepare—not just to resist, but to sustain their leadership, clarity, and resilience amidst intensifying challenges. The #30DaysUP program offers an essential container for grounding, strategic reflection, and embodied practice, empowering participants to face this pivotal moment with courage, connection, and purpose.
Together, we can fortify ourselves to be the most grounded and centered we can be. Individually and collectively.
New Set Up. Same Powerful Results.

Saturday, Jan 25th @ 12:00pm EST
Leadership & Self-Awareness
Effective leadership begins with deep self-awareness. In this session, we’ll explore how understanding our internal landscapes—our triggers, values, and blind spots—enables us to lead with clarity, authenticity, and purpose, even in moments of uncertainty and pressure.
Saturday, Feb 1st @ 12:00pm EST
Mindfulness Towards Choices
In times of heightened pressure and uncertainty, our ability to make clear, intentional choices is critical. This session focuses on cultivating mindfulness practices that anchor us in the present moment, allowing us to respond rather than react, and make decisions aligned with our values and long-term vision.
Saturday, Feb 8th @ 12:00pm EST
Soothing Our Nervous Systems
Meditation is a vital practice for calming and regulating our nervous systems. In this session, we’ll explore meditative techniques that reduce stress, ease tension, and build inner resilience, creating a foundation for sustained engagement and presence in our work.
Saturday, Feb 15th @ 12:00pm EST
Groundedness vs. Desensitization
Meditation helps us stay present and connected without becoming overwhelmed or numb to the weight of our work. In this session, we’ll explore how meditation cultivates a sense of groundedness that allows us to engage with difficult realities while maintaining emotional clarity and resilience, avoiding the trap of desensitization.
Saturday, Feb 22nd @ 12:00pm EST
Centered Social Change Work
Meditation provides a foundation for approaching social change with clarity, focus, and inner stability. In this session, we’ll explore how centering ourselves through meditation allows us to stay aligned with our values, navigate challenges with intention, and sustain our commitment to transformative action.
Saturday, Mar 1st @ 12:00pm EST
Ecology & Self-Awareness
Meditation deepens our awareness of the interconnectedness between ourselves and the world around us. In this session, we’ll explore how meditative practices cultivate a sense of responsibility and care for our ecological systems, supporting our role in collective healing and environmental justice work.
Saturday, Mar 8th @ 12:00pm EST
Redefining Our Leadership
Meditation offers a pathway to reconnect with your authentic leadership style by quieting external noise and cultivating inner clarity. In this session, we’ll explore how meditation helps us redefine leadership on our own terms, rooted in self-awareness, intention, and alignment with our values.
Saturday, Mar 15th @ 12:00pm EST
Mindfulness & Action
Meditation bridges the gap between intention and action by cultivating presence and clarity. In this session, we’ll explore how mindfulness practices enable us to move from a grounded place, ensuring our actions are purposeful, aligned with our values, and responsive to the needs of the moment.
Saturday, Mar 22nd @ 12:00pm EST
Creating Global Change
Meditation connects us to a deeper sense of purpose and shared humanity, reminding us that meaningful change begins within. In this session, we’ll explore how meditation nurtures clarity, resilience, and compassion, empowering us to contribute to global transformation with intention and sustained commitment.
Saturday, Mar 29th @ 12:00pm EST
Joy in Dark & Toxic Political Times
Meditation helps us cultivate an inner reservoir of joy, even amidst political turmoil and uncertainty. In this closing session, we’ll explore how meditation can be a source of resilience, allowing us to access moments of lightness, connection, and hope as essential tools for sustaining ourselves and our movements.

testimonials
like most things, there are many layers to these main takeaways. Lucia Gomez-Jimenez + Jaritza Geigel wrote about these many layers after participating in #30DaysUp.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
I NEED MORE INFO?
nothing. we want it to be about choice not absolutes. 🙂
bare bones, we want you to chose to complete 30 consecutive days of meditation in 60 days. this means, you can start on day 1 of the challenge, do 7 days of meditation, perhaps miss a day or two, + still have time to start over at 1 + be able to complete 30 straight days of meditation before the challenge ends.
dope.
essentially, there is one thing you will want to do to successfully complete the challenge… meditate at least 5 minutes every day for 30 consecutive days.
pretty easy, huh?
you can also chose to the following things, as well, that will dramatically enhance + solidify your practice towards embodying your new superpowers:
- journal every day to log your progress + the many things that come up for you from day to day. since this challenge has a theme of growing happiness from our suffering, journaling your thoughts + experiences will be a healthy + healing way to progress throughout the 60 days.
- share your progress with the #30DaysUP community or your own community. this is a great way to stay motivated + motivate others. inspiration is a big part of this work, both for you + for others. last round, many folks used the DayOne app publishing feature to post to twitter + facebook to share their progress + inspire many to join or renew their own meditation practice. it was quite the mini revolution!
- invite others to sit with you! sharing is caring + sitting with others is something rather beautiful.
that’s cool. email us directly at rusia@universalpartnership.org
share your thoughts.
share your questions?
share your hopes + hesitancies.
we’re ready to sit with you to get your superpowers on!
how do you sit?

#30DaysUP: supplemental journaling practice
are you ready to get your sit on? cultivate those leadership superpowers?
we are just one day away from #30DaysUP meditation challenge! with 55 folks across the country signed up to participate, we wanted to drop some quick info on the container we will create to keep us all on track, motivated and supported.
first things first… how do you meditate? by now you all should have taken 6 minutes to watch the “mind the gap” snapshot video to quickly learn the best & easiest way to build a new meditation practice.
next, you should have received your free copy of the DayOne app, one of the many ways in which we will track & share our progress. if you haven’t, make sure you follow these quick & easy steps to grab your copy of the best journaling app out there. you do not need the app to participate in this challenge.
so are you ready to get started? make sure you pick a time to start your practice & stick to it!
- pick a time to meditate for at least 5 minutes (I will do my practice first thing in the morning) then PRACTICE!
- take a few breaths after your practice to settle into whatever you may be feeling. this is a great time to jot down some reflections into your practice journal. i do so in DayOne. you can also chose to write a reflection any time during the day. remember, this is YOUR practice & it should suit YOU!
- each day, use the hashtag #30DaysUP to share that you got your practice on! you can do this on facebook, twitter, the UP site (leave a comment in the top news story) or through the DayOne app. what you share & how you share it is completely up to you.
- lean on the support community & allow yourself to be inspired by the work you & the others are doing!
- and MOST IMPORTANT, if you take a bit of a stumble & miss a day… NO WORRIES… just pick your practice back up & start from day 1 of practice again! 🙂 we will all have 60 days to do 30 consecutive days of practice. how awesome is that? all sorts, my friends, all sorts!
all right! if you got through this message, you should be all set to rock & roll! should you have any remaining questions/comments, reach out to @1worldup or the UNIVERSAL PARTNERSHIP PRACTICE GROUP.
HAPPY SITTING!

We are building a big community of support for folks who will participate in the 30-day challenge, that’s why we have partnered with DayOne.
