VIAGE surprises its guests in November with a new initiative that engages and connects. During the very first Pink Brunch, our doors are open to everyone who appreciates health, solidarity, and taste.
A table full of delights, genuine conversations, inspiring people, and the chance to truly make a difference—that's what awaits you on Thursday, November 20th. The first of our two Pink Brunches guarantees a special morning dedicated to solidarity, health, and human warmth. The proceeds from each ticket go entirely to Think Pink.
Care with a Heart
While the chef is hard at work, you'll settle in for a rich buffet for the mind—fresh and diverse. The central theme of this first edition is: care that looks beyond symptoms. Three committed women share their vision of healthcare that puts people first.
Heidi Vansevenant, founder of Think Pink, opens the morning with a powerful message about the importance of a care system that considers the emotional and mental wellbeing of patients. Next, AnhThi Nguyen, expert by experience and patient partner at Brussels University Hospital, shares her personal story about breast cancer and her current role in improving patient care. Finally, Fiorella Sapienza, specialized nurse in wellness and holistic care at the Jules Bordet Institute, shows how an integrated approach helps people regain balance and strength during their care journey.
These conversations introduce you to the world of integrative medicine. In this approach, the person behind the diagnosis comes first. It's not just about treatments, but also about the role of mental wellbeing, collaboration between healthcare providers, and the patient's own experience. Your questions are, of course, welcome.
Together at the Table
Meanwhile, the aromas of fresh pastries set stomachs rumbling. Time to enjoy fresh-baked breads, cheese and eggs, salads, fruit, smoothies, and so much more. While savoring the delicious brunch buffet, there's still room for connection, conversations, and bonding. Those who wish can sit with a speaker or chat with one of the Think Pink staff members present. Everything about this afternoon breathes attention: for what you eat, for who sits beside you, and for the purpose you came for. Here you'll meet people with a passion for care, resilience, and real change.
Your Presence Counts
This Pink Brunch is much more than a meal. It's a heartwarming afternoon. Solidarity becomes tangible, conversations offer hope, and your presence contributes to a more caring tomorrow. Whether you've been personally affected by breast cancer, want to support someone, or simply wish to participate in a meaningful experience, you're more than welcome. Listening holds as much power as speaking, and solidarity begins with a simple choice: I'm joining!
Everything is included in the price of fifty euros, an amount you're investing directly in care, hope, and support, as VIAGE donates the entire proceeds to Think Pink.
Also mark December 11th in your calendar for the second brunch. That one will focus on resilience after setbacks and starting anew after a cancer diagnosis. After all, there's no return to "how things were before." The need for a new perspective on illness in the workplace, based on trust, dialogue, and respect for everyone's rhythm, is high.
Let yourself be moved. Let yourself be inspired. And brunch with us for life in pink.
