Question 1

What is La Bien-Aimée?

Accepted Answer

A premium private society for women in business in Johannesburg, built around beautiful lifestyle experiences, meaningful friendships, intimate conversations and practical business learning. It is not a traditional networking organisation, coaching programme or dating service.

Question 2

Who may apply?

Accepted Answer

Women aged 18 and over at any stage of their business journey — aspiring entrepreneurs, early-stage founders, growing business owners and established entrepreneurs. Women of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome.

Question 3

Is La Bien-Aimée a religious organisation?

Accepted Answer

No. Our founding philosophy draws inspiration from Proverbs 31:25 — strength, dignity and confidence in the future — but religious belief or participation is never a condition of membership.

Question 4

Is there a fee to apply?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no charge to apply.

Question 5

How does the application process work?

Accepted Answer

Complete the public membership application. Our team reviews it personally and contacts you directly regarding the next steps. Approved applicants receive membership terms and a secure payment link directly from the society. Submitting an application does not guarantee an invitation.

Question 6

When does membership begin?

Accepted Answer

Initial founding applications are planned for January 2027, with review and invitations during January–February ahead of our March launch. Rolling admissions continue from March as suitable places become available. Your invitation confirms your individual commencement date, and your membership runs for twelve months from that date.

Question 7

Are prices final?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. The prices shown are provisional and will be confirmed before any invitations are issued. Nothing is charged until you accept an invitation and its terms.

Question 8

Can I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancellation and refund terms will be set out clearly in the Membership Agreement, in line with South African consumer protection law. Monthly payments do not mean you have no cancellation rights.

Question 9

Is every event included?

Accepted Answer

No. Each tier includes clearly defined experiences. Some optional events may be separately priced, and these will always be marked clearly before you book.

Question 10

Where are gatherings held?

Accepted Answer

In beautiful venues across Johannesburg, with an initial focus on Sandton, Rosebank, Midrand and Waterfall. Venues are announced once agreements are confirmed.
