Inside Out
Who is Inside Out for?
Inside Out is a safe and trusted space for deep connection, peer support, personal growth, and potentially lifelong friendships.
If "deep meaningful conversations" light up your eyes, then BYBSB is the right community for you.
We often call ourselves "misfits", as we find it hard to feel fulfilled through superficial small talk, and have this "itch" for discussing topics most people don't feel comfortable talking about, to name a few, the meaning of life, trauma, near-death experiences, spirituality, psychedelics, and moral principles.
The community is by invitation only, and you must be endorsed by at least one other member of the group to become a member.
If you feel like you might have found your tribe, express your interest by filling in the application form, and we will get back to you.

Our Values
- Respect
We listen with an open mind, including different points of view. This allows others to be vulnerable and so to share their experiences with us.
- No Judgement
We do not give advice (unless asked for). We meet to vulnerably share our experiences with other members with the hope that something of what we share might be useful to them.
- Vulnerability & Trust
Vulnerability begets vulnerability and creates mutual trust. This sets the stage for the most meaningful experience sharing. Everything discussed during the Inside Out sessions must remain confidential.

“I was unsure what to expect when joining the online sessions. Quickly I was warmly welcomed into a supportive and open group of like-minded people.
It was inspiring and humbling to hear their stories and I felt heard when sharing my own. There were many questions that stayed with me for days after the sessions and spurred lots of self-reflection.
Thank you for such a positive and uplifting experience!”

“I find it difficult sometimes to connect with people deeper - with some friends or colleagues with mostly small talk or when we only share what's seen as normal conversations.
Inside Out is a group that creates a safe space to have deeper meaningful organic conversations and build genuine connections. Connections that you might otherwise have the time to build or conversations you may not have the room to talk with your current circle.
The group I was part of had an amazing bunch of diverse people who were extremely friendly, open, genuine, and non-judgmental. Which made it easy to share in deeper conversations, gain insights and form genuine connections from the inside out.
To anyone considering being part of a group. I’d say if you want to develop deeper meaning connections or you feel like a maverick at times. Just do it. This group is for you!”
