Join the First Access list here! The membership is not live just yet, but you will be the first to know. We will be launching the membership in 2024.

The cost of your Just BE Membership depends on how much revenue your business generates per year. We offer sliding scale pricing (similar to other business associations) that honors the values of shared prosperity and equity. We ask that those of us who have more abundant businesses pay more to support our sistas who are just getting started or who have fallen on hard times. With that said we are still finalizing our pay scale and are asking community members (like you) to weigh in. Complete our Community Interest Form and join the First Access List to give us your feedback.

Due to the high-touch approach and intentional symbiotic community building of our programming, we do not provide a trial period at this time.

We will host 2 membership-only sessions per month:

• Business Problem Solving Circle

• Healing Circle

And one quarterly wellness outing for members

Members enjoy discounted rates for Play Days & Retreats, Therapy Circles, and For the Culture Market vendor access. Members are also first to hear about exclusive events, business resource opportunities, and other offerings as they become available.

No, you do not need to be a member to be a vendor with For the Culture Market. We welcome creatives of all experience levels, from established professionals to up-and-coming artists.

Join the First Access list here, as the application will go live next summer.

Next year members can connect via any of our monthly or quarterly gatherings.

Our membership will be hosted on Mighty Networks to enable live chatting features and resource sharing at a moment's notice.

For now, you can connect with Just BE community members via our Fall 2023 Events.

The Just BE team has a breadth of business knowledge and resources to share with its members that we are developing into a centralized resource hub. Our knowledge base covers all elements of business development and wellness as well as building out legacy cooperative or worker self-directed business models. Just BE also prioritizes and organizes opportunities for members to pool our needs together in order to secure discount pricing on services like product shot photography package deals, shared vending space at major festivals, or collective professional development training in an area of our interest.

Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time. You will have access to membership perks until your current billing cycle expires.
