I’m Andrea Schroeder, founder of The Creative Dream Incubator.
I mentor and teach transformative journaling and meditation to artists, dreamers, big feelers and deep thinkers.
We work inside the intersection of creativity and spirituality, with lots of intention and loads of respect for ALL THE FEELS that come up in this work.
So we make space to be with all of the feelings and questions that come up when you work on your dream… alongside the work of actually making space for your dream in your life.
Of course I want you to HAVE your dream… but… I am more interested in the healing, growth, magic and total re-alignment with your own truth that can happen along the way. The process. So I focus on ways to help you go deeper into the process, and to do this in a way that fit in your life as it is today. This gets you to your dream in a better way than focusing on external goals and trying to push yourself to achieve them.
After doing this work as my full time job for 15 years I have developed a rock solid belief that your dream is actually a message from your own soul.
Your dream is how your soul lights up your path for you. Your dream is either your CALLING or it’s leading you to find your calling. It’s saying “Hey this is who you are, this is what you are capable of… listen to me, don’t listen to what the world tells you about who you are and what your life is supposed to look like.”
Sometimes people say to me “that sounds so weird” but they wouldn’t say that if they’d actually witnessed hundreds of people’s process over 15 years.
When you make space to REALLY LISTEN TO YOURSELF about which dreams you pursue and how you pursue them (instead of picking a goal and forcing yourself to stay focused on it which is what most people think creative dreaming is) - a deep magic opens up that can only come from your own soul.
So I believe that dreaming is sacred work and it’s distinct from “goal setting”. And I believe creativity is sacred. And I believe we all need more space and support for doing this work, and all of the complicated healing and growth worth that needs to happen for us to fully grow into ourselves - spiritually and creatively.
I offer all of my work in one membership (you can join monthly or annually) for three reasons:
We all deserve more support with our dreams! And even when it is financially accessible, one-on-one coaching/mentoring typically lasts for a shorter time. I wanted to offer the kind of consistent, long term support that dreams and dreamers actually need.
I’ve been doing this work a long time, I have loads of programs to offer, I want anyone who is working with me to be able to a access all of them, so they have what they need.
I believe we are stronger together, so dreaming alongside others, even it it’s only via Zoom replays, shows you how NOT ALONE you really are. The members inspired each other (and me!) so much!
I love:
- bike rides
- journaling
- picnics - in the park or at the beach
- taking a hot bath and going to bed early
- iced lavender lattes - I make my own lavender syrup which is so much easier to do than it seems
- going right into the thing I most want to avoid and finding the healing and magic that it has for me
- the seasons. All of them! The way the sky is always changing.
I hate:
- the idea that we should "just think positive" instead of actively working to dismantle dominant culture and all the ways it causes and enables harm
- being out past 9 pm
- when I am cranky and someone tells me to calm down
- Kombucha used to be right here on this list.. but then I got inspired to start brewing it at home and now I love it
I help smart, sensitive, creative people make their dreams real by listening more deeply to their own values and creative magic.
I believe that visionary, creative people bringing their dreams to life is going to help save the world, and this work is getting more important every day.
