Engagement Tiers
Ashta is a peer-to-peer self-development and mastermind programme. We match members transparently by experience and profile to create complementary, load-bearing growth circles.
Ashta does not group people randomly. We believe that a mastermind is only as strong as the shared alignment of its members. Therefore, participants are matched peer-to-peer by ilk—meaning comparable experience, scale, and intelligence—to ensure that all members of a group share a common framework of challenge and capability.
However, within that shared tier of experience, we use our profiling modalities to make the group complementary, not clones. For example, a founder who has run a $100M company is placed with peers of comparable scale and standing, but with complementary cognitive and motivational profiles from our matching engine. This ensures the group dynamics spark creative problem-solving rather than agreement loops.
We offer six structured tiers of engagement, from free participation up to the premium Mastermind cohorts. The rates below are the Project's established membership tiers.
Price: Free
Anyone can join Ashta to contribute data to the collective focused-intention experiments and receive minimal cluster-of-eight interaction. We frame this free tier as load-bearing, not charity: because large participant numbers strengthen the collective experiments, free participation is a genuine research asset we deliberately build infrastructure for. Your input is worth paying for.
Price: $4.99/month or $39.99/year
Our mass-market, viral consumer on-ramp. This tier is built to reach very large scale, providing accessible entry-level peer matching and standard app features for daily self-development tracking.
Price: $29.99/month
A scarce, curated cohort — limited to exactly 128 clusters of eight, each running Ashta’s flagship sealed-box experiment. The premise under test: crystal skulls are reputed to help a group tap into higher states of consciousness — a wider, shared field of knowledge. Ashta assumes nothing; it tests it double-blind. Every cluster receives identical, weight-matched, serial-numbered wooden boxes that do not rattle — some hold a crystal skull, others a weight-matched control (a stone, a metal ball, a blank). Participants work with the box exactly as if a skull were inside, never knowing the contents: the skull’s presence stays in superposition until the data is unblinded — hence Schrödinger. Each member reads their own box three ways — an instrumented muscle test, a felt sense, and a plain guess of skull-or-control — all sealed until the boxes are opened at the end. We measure whether the reads differ by what is actually in the box, and publish either way. See the full Schrödinger's Crystal Skull experiment.

About the crystal-skull deposit (premium tiers). It is a refundable loan deposit, not a purchase. Each crystal skull remains the property of The Ashta Project at all times and is returned at the end of membership under a signed agreement. Within a cluster the skulls are cut from a single crystal, and that shared source is part of the experimental design. Nothing here transfers ownership of a skull or offers any financial return.
