Vincent's big 70th surprise !

Dear Family and Friends,

(please try to keep this a surprise :))

As we come together to celebrate Dad's birthday the weekend of September 19th, with all his children and grandchildren gathered, we wanted to offer him something truly meaningful, the gift of one of his oldest dreams.

For over a decade, Vincent has spoken about wanting to experience a 3 week Ayurvedic cure in Kerala, South India. Ayurveda is an ancient, traditional Eastern medicine, thousands of years old, known for its deeply holistic approach and its remarkable ability to help with long-standing illnesses and chronic pain. We think this is the perfect moment to finally make it happen for him.

We've researched carefully and found two wonderful, highly-regarded centres, both offering authentic, traditional Ayurveda with experienced doctors, in beautiful and peaceful settings:

• Vaidyagrama — a NABH-accredited Ayurveda hospital and healing village near Coimbatore, known for its deeply traditional, individualized care
  https://www.vaidyagrama.com
• Maitreyi – The Vedic Village — a serene eco-spiritual retreat near Aliyar Lake, blending Ayurveda with yoga, meditation, and Vedic culture
  https://www.maitreyivedic.in

For a 3-week stay, the cost ranges from about €2000 to €3,500, depending on the centre and the treatment intensity his doctor recommends.

We've set up a collection page so everyone who wishes to take part can contribute easily.

Whatever you're able to give, means so much to us, and to Vincent. 
Every single contribution, and every kind word, will be deeply felt and truly appreciated.

(You can choose not to get charged by the website, when you pay, choose « no donation ») 

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being part of this with us.

Feel free to leave a note, or a video that we will show him on his birthday.

With love and gratitude,

Amelie, Marie, Pierre-Henri, Charles et Hélène
