Who We Are & How It Works
A place where you find your people. The real ones.
We all come from different backgrounds and professions. What unites us is a shared mindset: openness, respect for others, and the wish to build truly meaningful connections. Every gathering is carefully curated with the rhythm, interests, and life stage of our members in mind — so that everyone can feel: “I am among my people.”
Openness
Here, you don’t have to pretend. You can be yourself — and be accepted.
Respect
There’s no formal dress code, but there is an inner one. It’s about honoring each other’s boundaries, perspectives, and pace.
Curiosity
We’re never bored together. We ask, share, explore — and go deeper with each meetup.
Reliability
Wherever you are in the world, you’ll find people “from your field” — those who value trust.
Initiative
Someone organizes a hike, someone a dinner, someone a mini-retreat. Whatever you put in comes back tenfold.
Sincerity
We don’t promise “you’ll never feel lonely again.” But if you show up and stay open — you won’t be alone here.
“One good conversation can change the whole direction of your life.” — Carl Rogers
If what we do resonates with you, the next step is applying to join our club. It’ll feel like meeting friends — no need to be anyone but yourself.
1. Submit your application
Take your time answering why you want to join, what you do, and what makes you truly interesting. We read every form manually — it may take up to two days.
2. Interview
If your application fits, we’ll message you on WhatsApp — to ask a clarifying question or just chat. Sometimes we offer a short call. Everything is human and easy.
3. Meetup invitation
If it’s a match, we’ll invite you to the next meetup. We’ll explain how it works. First-timers get 50% off their first month — so you can truly feel the format.
4. Club onboarding
After payment, you’ll receive a confirmation, preparation guide, and contact info for your local host who’ll support your integration into the community.
A club like ours doesn’t happen by chance. We intentionally create an environment where real connections are born — through curation, group dynamics, and a sincere belief that people on the same wavelength can truly transform your life.
We’d love to meet each candidate in person, but it’s not always possible. That’s why we have a form, follow-up questions, and sometimes a short call. It’s not a test — it’s a way to see if we align in values and life rhythm.
We’re not chasing numbers. We want you to feel whether this is a space where people are open, alive, and meet not for the format, but for real connection.
What our members say:
“I was surprised by how precisely people are selected. Nothing random. Everyone’s different — yet shares a similar internal compass. You feel it from the first meetup.” — Lucy S., member since 2023
“I don’t need to guess who’s coming. I know I’ll meet people who bring warmth, ease, and depth. Everyone has their story, but you just know — we’re from the same circle. That’s what makes the club special.” — Tom A., member since 2024
The club includes entrepreneurs, designers, musicians, researchers, startup founders, strategists, photographers, writers, architects, therapists, lawyers, developers — creators with a mission. But it’s not about the job. It’s about the standard you hold and how you relate to others.
We see a new kind of person emerging: deeply individual, yet warm and respectful to other worlds. They’ve built something — or are consciously on the path. Their lifestyles vary, but they share a presence of depth.
Most are 25–40, and there’s no single passport — we include people from Europe, Asia, Australia, the US, Latin America. Some have been nomads for years, others are just starting. But all are drawn to depth and clarity.
“I didn’t know what to expect. I feared I’d end up among people I had nothing in common with. But at the first meetup, I felt: I can be myself here. No posturing, no need to impress. Just genuine interest in each other. We started small — and left with plans for a trip to Tbilisi.” — Maria L., architect, member since 2024
You’re not the only one with that fear. Many come with it — and by the end of the first meetup, find kindred spirits. There’s no “us” vs “them” here — just people open to real connection.
What justbeopen meetups are like
You arrive — and someone greets you. No awkwardness. There’s a friendly host — they’ll introduce you, help you settle in, set the tone for the evening.
You meet 10 people — each with their own story. It’s not about exchanging business cards, but about genuine interest and resonance.
Be open. Within two hours, you might already have 2–3 people you want to meet again — and an idea for what to do together next.
No one stays alone here, if they’re willing to stay open. Just show up — and be yourself.
One club. Different cities. One vibe.
Choose your rhythm
You decide — every week or once a month. Some never miss a meetup. Others come when they feel it’s time. That’s okay. We respect mature rhythms.
Each city, its own vibe
The club operates in many countries and cities. Each meetup has its own host and flavor — but the shared culture is instantly recognizable. If you move, you simply shift locations.
You don’t need to be an “extrovert”
We don’t require loudness or polish. There are those who stay quiet for half the evening, and those who lead. You can be yourself — in silence or in energy.
Evenings we create together
It’s not a lecture or a show. It’s a gathering where anyone can bring an idea or topic. Want to discuss a big decision, a book, or have a night of deep questions? We support that. The vibe feels like close friends you’ve known forever.
How We Balance Meetings and Real Life
Life doesn’t go on pause when you join
Life doesn’t stop when you enter the club. You can keep working, traveling, doing your thing — and still be part of a living circle. We’re not about “checking out,” but about weaving the meetings into a reality where everyone has their own rhythm.
Showing up genuinely is more important than showing up often
You don’t have to be at every meeting. No one demands maximum involvement — we respect your schedule. Showing up when you have the capacity — that’s maturity too.
Find your people in justbeopen
Everyone arrives with their own story
Some just moved to a new city. Some are building a career in a different context. Some are not chasing success, but real connection. Each person follows their own path. But on that path, you sometimes want to pause, take a breath — and find yourself among your people.
Not everything clicks at first — and that’s okay
We don’t pretend that everyone becomes best friends right away. But if you give yourself and others time, at some point you realize: you’ve become part of something meaningful. Not just a format — but a real feeling of a “home away from home.”
We respect different paces and communication styles. No one expects you to be outgoing or talkative from day one. Often, it’s the introverts who find the warmest sense of support here.
We’re not into surface-level “networking.” This is about honesty, curiosity, and depth — and you feel it from the very first conversations. People come here to be themselves, not to impress.
Most participants come to their first meeting not knowing anyone. We design the format so no one is left out. On your first night, you’ll already feel: you’re welcome here.
Absolutely. Some show up weekly, others come less often — the connection doesn’t weaken. What matters here is the quality of contact, not how often you show up.
The club already exists in different cities and countries. If you move, you just stay part of the community and find “your people” in a new place. That’s one of our biggest strengths — global presence.
We’ve seen those too. That’s why we built this differently: intimate gatherings, thoughtful curation, genuine conversations. People stay not for the status — but because it actually works.
Membership Subscription
We believe a living, strong community should be accessible — and people value what they invest in. To keep the quality of our gatherings in Jakarta, we use a simple subscription model.
Monthly membership — Rp 160.000
One monthly payment gives you access to all club gatherings in Jakarta. You choose which evenings to join — dinners, walks, talks, or games. No hidden fees or complicated plans.
First month — Rp 80.000
For new members, this is a chance to experience the club from the inside. No obligations. Just try it — and decide if you want to stay.
Your subscription gives you access to a living club — not just events, but a whole ecosystem of connection. You’ll receive invitations to members-only offline gatherings in your city, access to a local chat with other participants, invites to rare formats like “problem-solving dinners” or “intonation rehearsals,” plus internal materials: reflections, templates, and guidance from those who’ve walked the path. It’s not about content — it’s about environment and practice.
Yes. It’s a monthly subscription with no strings attached. We don’t believe in holding people back with obstacles. If you want to stay — great. If it’s not for you — cancel with a couple of clicks. Still, most people stay. Because for $20 a month, you’re getting something money rarely buys: a space that raises your baseline.
We’re not building a party or an announcement channel. There is curation here — gentle, but intentional. We’re not chasing numbers. We gather people who care not just about “meeting others” but about being part of an environment where tone, depth, and level align. There are no randoms here — and you feel it from the very first meeting.
You can. The first month is $10 — it gives you a gentle way in: time to explore, observe, ask questions. Even if you’re not ready to join events yet, you can be in the chat, follow what’s happening, and step in when you’re ready. But here’s the thing: don’t wait too long. The rhythm and value of the club reveal themselves when you actually participate — not just watch.
This isn’t just attending events. It’s a contribution to what we’re building together. Atmosphere doesn’t happen on its own — it’s carried in by the people. Here’s what helps us keep the bar high, and be “our people” not just in vibe, but in action.
Treat the space like it’s yours
Want it to feel warm, smart, and meaningful? Then help make it that way for others too. We’re not just guests — we’re co-creators.
Help if you see an opportunity
No need to go overboard. But if you can offer a hand — do it. It’s the small things that make a community real and alive.
Engage mindfully, even if not constantly
You don’t have to show up for everything. Just don’t be indifferent. If you’re here — be here, not just on the list.
Be yourself — but your real self
No roles required. You can be unsure. You can question things. But you do need to be genuine. That’s when real connection happens.
