Living in Deep Health

Who we are

Founded in 1999, Le Vivant is a global non–profit association which creates, develops and supports scientific projects related to the Deep Health of humankind. Deep Health integrates all dimensions of being human – physical, energetic and spiritual, with the environment.

Le Vivant means 'Life" or "The Living" and represents the potential 'aliveness' of humankind which is currently under threat from increasing toxicity in our environment, soils and air. These elements are all essential to our health and to our harmonious existence with the earth.

Our Mission

To nurture projects and initiatives that help create Deep Health in humankind and sustain life and unity with nature and spirit.

Our people

Le Vivant gathers men and women who are committed to this new vision of health from diverse fields of expertise: medical practitioners, geologists, agronomists, engineers, ethnologists, lawyers, and business people. Le Vivant's projects are supported by a network of doctors, therapists and scientists working in Europe, Russia, Asia, Latin America and in Australia. They have shared spiritual values and a shared passion for the Deep Health of humankind.

Claire Laurant (Scientific Advisor)

Claire is an ethnobotanist with a PhD in Anthropology, from Paris III La Sorbonne-Nouvelle. She has dedicated her thesis to therapeutic praxis of traditional midwives from the Central Mexico. This immersion in the autochthonous lore, deemed "empirical", revealed to her a rich knowledge of medicinal herbs, transmitted generation after generation and built upon a modus operandi different from the occidental rationale. It has motivated her to pursue her research with the botanic, pharmacology, and toxicology scientific tools, along with the sensitivity of the approach of herbal therapists. Claire is married with 4 children and lives in Geneva.
