Ines Baricevic Balmaekers

Ines created and curated a beautiful evening for a small group of women at the first Female Speed Friending event I recently attended.
The space was gorgeous and calming, and every detail felt thoughtfully considered, from the healthy snacks and selection of teas to the various creative stations and conversation prompts. It created a sense of being truly welcomed, mindfully cared for, and encouraged to connect.
What I especially appreciated was how the questions went beyond simply sparking conversation; they also invited personal reflection and deeper connection.
Ines’ passion, creativity and thoughtfulness really shone through in the way she designed the evening.
I’m grateful for the effort she is putting into creating opportunities for women to connect, build new friendships, and develop meaningful relationships as they navigate the different chapters of their evolving lives. (As a woman in her early 40s) It’s a beautiful initiative. Thankyou.

Fantastic event...I was able to connect with women that share the same interest through a dynamic exercise by the thoughtful facilitator. We were able to engage in meaningful conversation far beyond where are you from and what do you do. I would absolutely recommend attending an event!

I had a wonderful time at the Speed-Friending event set up by Ines! The location was very inviting and had a vibe that put me at ease. The games and challenges were also very well-thought-out and coordinated, and I felt like I got to make some true connections with people that will hopefully last. It was overall wonderful and I look forward to more events like this!

Loved it! The meditation was relaxing and gave me lots of insights. The reflecting part from the last year was also very inspiring. Ines is a warm, intuitive, wise woman. I can totally recommend it! Thanks so much Ines!! 🙏🏻
