About the host

Hey I'm Ines, and adventure has been the red thread of my life.

From climbing trees and building dams as a kid to living in 8 countries, summiting mountains, walking on a glacier in Patagonia, running a 50km trail race, completing my first triathlon, and exploring alpinism in the Italian Alps…

curiosity has always guided me 🧭

Adventure has never been about ticking boxes or adrenaline for me

→ it’s about:

  • Presence
  • Self-trust
  • And the magic that happens when we connect to nature, ourselves and each other 💫

After supporting over 100 women ditch the diet culture through my previous community, Nourishing Circle, and spending the last 5+ years building communities for other businesses, it became clear that adventure is now the vehicle through which I want to bring women together 🏔️

This is also a new adventure for me and I’d love for you to join us in co-creating this space!

This Adventure Day is the second in a growing series of Adventure Days launching this year.
