Teach on Ascendia
Ascendia members are not browsing — they open the app in the morning to sit. Publishing here puts your work inside a habit that already exists, instead of asking someone to build one for you.

What you can publish
We would rather tell you what is not built yet than let you plan a launch around it. The ones marked below are being built; everything else is live in the studio today. Channelings are text for now.
Multi-lesson paths with audio, video or written lessons. Set the tier they open at — free, Ascend or Mystery School — or price them for direct sale.
Written transmissions, published as channeled work and labelled that way on the page, so a reader always knows what they are receiving. Audio channelings arrive with the recording tools.
A set of lessons or sessions sold together — an eight-week path, a seasonal series, an initiation sequence.
Private sessions booked directly with you from your profile, with your own availability and rates.
Monthly gatherings for your students, with replays afterwards for the ones in the wrong time zone.
How you get paid
You are not paid for impressions or follower counts. You are paid for the work people actually sat with, and for what you sell directly.
Stream one
Each month a defined share of subscription revenue goes into a pool. Your slice of it is allocated by what your own students actually practised with — listening minutes and completions on your content, measured against everyone else’s. A teacher with two hundred people who genuinely use their work earns more here than a teacher with two thousand who never press play.
You see the running figure in your studio all month, along with the minutes behind it. Nothing about the allocation is hidden from the person it pays.
Stream two
Courses, packages and — as those surfaces open — sessions you price and sell yourself. Your revenue share applies to each sale, and it accrues into the same monthly period as the pool so you get one figure rather than four.
Earnings accrue through the month, the period closes at month end, and payment follows once the period is reconciled. Refunds and chargebacks are netted against the period they belong to, not clawed back from a later one.

In your favour, on students you bring
Anyone who arrives through your link, your handle or your own audience. You did the work of finding them, so you keep the larger share of what they generate.
70 / 30
In your favour, on students we bring
Anyone who found you through the directory, the library or the app’s own discovery. The difference covers the cost of putting you in front of them.
These are launch terms. If they change, you will be told before the period the change applies to — never retroactively, and never inside a settings update nobody reads. Store fees on mobile purchases are deducted before the split; your studio shows gross and net side by side so you can see exactly where the difference went.
The bar
A directory anyone can join is worth nothing to the people already in it. The bar is what makes a listing here mean something.
01
Not a form filter. Someone reads what you wrote about your practice, your lineage or training, and how you intend to teach it here. You get a decision with reasons attached.
02
A person reads your application before you can publish, and Stripe verifies your identity and bank details before you can be paid. Members are handing you their inner life; they are entitled to know a real, accountable person is behind the name on the page.
03
First submissions and material changes go through review. When something needs work you get changes requested with the specific reason — never a silent rejection or a shadow ban.
04
No treating, curing, diagnosing or preventing — not in a lesson, a title, a description, a reply or a live call. This is the one rule with no discretion in it, and it is the fastest way to lose a publishing account.
What we ask of you
Teaching here is not passive income. It is a relationship with people who are practising daily and will notice whether you are there. If any of the below sounds like too much, it is better for both of us that you find that out now.
One considered course a quarter is worth more here than six abandoned ones. Students notice a teacher who finishes things.
If it is channeled, say so. If it comes from a lineage, name the lineage. If a line is attributed by tradition rather than documented, mark it. Our standards apply to your pages exactly as they apply to ours.
If you sell a session, hold it. If you open a circle, be in it. Unanswered students are the single most common reason a teacher is asked to pause.
Members will sometimes bring you something that needs a doctor rather than a teacher. Say so kindly, say it early, and do not take it on. We will back you every time you do.
There is no growth-hack surface here, no engagement bait, and no way to buy placement. Discovery follows finished work and students who keep returning to it.
Your studio
A small set of tools that do the boring parts, so your attention stays on the teaching.
Draft, submit for review, and publish lessons and courses. Review status is visible at every step.
The running figure for the open period, split by pool and direct sales, with the minutes behind it.
Period history — accrued, closed, paid — so you can reconcile against your own books.
Your own page in the directory, at ascendia.app/t/your-handle, for your bio, specialties and work.
Applying
Most applications are decided within a couple of weeks. If the answer is no, you will be told why and whether to come back.
01
Tell us about your practice, your training or lineage, and what you would publish first. Written answers, not a résumé upload.
02
Someone reads it properly. You may be asked for a sample lesson or a short call.
03
Stripe verifies your identity and bank details before any money is paid out. Teaching can begin once review clears.
04
Your profile goes live, your first submission goes through content review, and you begin.
The application takes about twenty minutes if you write it properly, and we would much rather read twenty considered minutes than a polished pitch.
Ascendia is a contemplative and educational practice, not a medical or mental-health service.
