Centered Grounded Present is an alchemy meditation for creating an embodied state of being centered, grounded and present.
I first offered this around 2018, as a way of getting through the holiday season with less FRAZZLE. And looking back now - I thought I was frazzled then? LOL!
But I have since lost those recordings and people have been asking about them, so now felt like a good time to do it again.
Centered, grounded and present is the antidote to overwhelm.
These qualities pull you out of your head and into your body. Where your power, intuition and creative magic live.
It’s really hard to do… anything… when you’re not settled in yourself.
So this practice helps you do whatever you want to do: get organized. Make art. Take good care of yourself. Know how you want to respond to the state of the world.
How it works:
This is a 90 minute Zoom call, with replay. And I’ll make a second recording of JUST the meditation so you can use it afterwards.
We’ll do this practice together because it is easier to get a FELT SENSE in your body of feeling centered, grounded and present in a group.
And then we’ll talk about: what are the things that come up that make this hard, what are the hurdles to STAYING centered, grounded and present and come up with a plan that works for you.
Good things to know about working with me:
I am sharing a spiritual practice, but there is no spiritual bypass here.
There will be space for ALL of your feelings that come up as we practice together. This is one of the best parts of practicing in community. One person will feel rage, one will feel peace, one will feel frustration or inspiration and as we all share our experiences and stories, we learn and grow together.
Because my alchemy mediations do feel like magic, but the real work of healing and growth and, well, magic, are not actually magic….
I mean - it takes WORK to get at the magic. It takes courage. And patience. It takes facing the hard things and staying with them long enough to transmute them.
This work is just so much more doable in community.
Most of us find we can go much deeper together than we can on our own.
So, even in watching the replay, by hearing everyone’s stories it helps you process your own experience in a different way.
And if you feel stuck - you can leave a comment under the video and I can still talk you through it there.
Centered Grounded Present is happening on Nov 15 at 1:00 Central on Zoom.
Replay will be available a few hours after we’re done.
This is open to all Dream Book members. Read on to find our more about the Dream Book membership and join us.
Dream Book costs $33US/month and yes you can join just for 1 month to do this if you want!
Though next month we’re doing Goodbye 2023 Releasing Ceremony and in January we’re doing Hello 2024 Dream Blessing Ceremony so you may want to stick around for those too.
The Creative Dream Incubator membership is a deep and creative support system for DREAMING.
It's full of helpful + powerful tools that help hold space for ALL PARTS of the work: overcoming obstacles, tending to fears and freakouts, figuring out how to do a thing you've never done before, consistent planning and action-stepping and getting next-level intuitive insight about how to take your next steps.
And we do it all without asking you to push past your capacity or do things in ways that don't feel right for you.
If you don't know me yet - Hello! I'm Andrea. I created the Creative Dream Incubator in 2011 because I believe in a better future for everyone.
If you don't know me yet - try my free class for creative dreaming to get a taste for how I work.
I created this membership so I could put all of my work in one place to make it more accessible because I believe we all deserve to have this kind of deep and ongoing support for our dreams.
This is a creative + encouraging space.
There are lots of tools, courses and supports for digging deeper into your process, overcoming obstacles and making progress towards your dreams. And everything is FLEXIBLE enough for you to do things YOUR WAY because we work from the assumption that you are a smart, creative and capable person and that YOU CAN DO THIS.
I don't think you NEED this support in order to make your dream happen - I think you DESERVE to have it while you're in process.
As a smart, creative, deep thinking kind person I've been in too many healing/coaching spaces where I was asked to leave my critical thinking skills at the door, if you know what I mean. So I made the Creative Dream Incubator to be different.

The three things that are included:
Dream Book!
This is a year long in-depth class on going much deeper into the inner work and dream work, and using that to direct and fuel your outer work. Each lesson works like mini coaching sessions, so you apply it to your dream and your life so you see shifts right away. Then the lessons build on each other over time.
Once you finish year 1, there is more content for year 2 about how to keep taking your practice deeper and deeper - Dream Book gives you a solid structure for PRACTICING Creative Dream Alchemy and there is no end to what you can do with this!
There is also Dream Book 2026, a new program for 2026, kind of a Dream Book Lite for when diving deep is too much. Dream Book 2026 helps you HOLD SPACE for yourself, your dreams and the future you want to create… in the gentlest way possible. This is the one to do when everything else feels like too much… and it helps get you to a place where you feel ready to work on your dreams in a more direct way in Dream Book. (I like doing both at once, because I can’t get enough of this work!)
Dreaming Together!
We do a monthly Intention Setting and Alchemy Circle on Zoom, right before the new moon. This is where we work out your plan for your dream for the next month - with your soul’s guidance. There’s also time here for coaching and talking through the stuff you are facing with your dream.
Then we do regular Co-Dreaming/Co-Working sessions, also on Zoom. We DREAM TOGETHER, starting with an alchemy meditation for connecting with the soul of our dreams to get insight and support. Then we just… dream and work together. Some people work on art projects, some people do their weekly planning, some people share what’s happening with their dreams.
We also do regular Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice calls, for the people whose dreams include offering their work to the world. This is NOT about strategy, the internet is full of advice about marketing! This is about going deeper into the creative and spiritual work of understanding how to offer your gifts in a way that they people they are for can fully RECEIVE them. This is the magic that makes any strategy actually work for you.

I believe you now. Your classes have changed things, shifted energy and changed me: profoundly.”

"This, THIS, is why Dream Book is such genius program: Simultaneously connecting me with the essence of my biggest dream and solving the most mundane next step towards it. Thank you."

Dream Book works for ANY dream.
You can be starting or growing a business, writing a book, getting into healthier eating habits, starting a new hobby, getting more rest, creating an entirely new body of work or figuring out what your next dream is. People have successfully used Dream Book for all of those dreams and lots more.
Dream Book was designed to work with YOUR dream, and YOUR life, whatever it is. It’s a genius structure for Creative Dreaming, and you fill in all the details to customize it.
People usually join the membership when they are:
- figuring out what their next dream is
- getting to a "next level" with their dreams and want more support
- just totally stuck and not sure what to do
But then people usually STAY in the group (this membership started in 2012 and we do still have some of the original members!) because they see how much better everything is with ongoing support for DREAMING.
Besides the Dream Book program, your membership gives you access to all of my courses for Creative Dreaming.
Imagine feeling stuck about money... and having a whole CREATIVE WITH MONEY program to help you work through it... complete with a Late Stage Capitalism Update to help you sort through the unique stress and complication of these times.
Imagine struggling to focus and get to work... and having a whole FOCUS POCUS program that helps you create momentum!
And imagine a whole library of tools that help with each specific thing you face on the path to your dream.
"Dreambook is helping me to show up for my dream, to keep connecting with my dream and to take actions that are in line with my dream.
Another thing I personally really need to be able to live my dream, and that Dreambook provides, is structure. For me Dreambook is about creating my own structure to do the necessary inner work, outer work and dream work to be able to walk my path.
By sending me reminders Andrea helps me to do this work, even (or especially) when I am stuck and procrastinating.
By working with Dreambook my dream is actually coming true, step by step."”

“I’m one of those people who used to think that I didn’t have enough time or money to participate in something like this.
I realize now that thinking I didn’t have enough time or money was just an excuse. It was kind of tied into not believing in my own self worth, like I shouldn’t spend the money or take time away from my kids to do this because it was silly and it wasn’t going to cause a change in my life so what’s the point.
That was just my inner critic talking, I realize now, and boy was my inner critic wrong! This HAS changed my life!”

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE "ENOUGH TIME" TO START!!!!!!
Since this is an ALCHEMICAL CONTAINER, stepping into it will change things and before you know it you'll be engaging with your dream in new ways.
Even just giving your dream 1 hour or less a week moves you forward so much faster than "waiting to have enough time" ever will.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership costs $33 USD/month.
Yes, it's a subscription! And there is a "cancel" button in your account so you can cancel any time, there's no waiting period or need to send an awkward email about it. You are in control of your subscription.
You can also make a bigger commitment to your dream, promise yourself you are going to REALLY DO THIS - and sign up for the annual subscription for $363 which gives you one month free over the monthly subscription.
If you have any questions at all - just email me right here. I’m happy to help you figure out if this is a good fit for you.
