Hi, I’m Andrea, creator of the Creative Dream Incubator.
I’m an artist and life coach. I help people create what they want in their lives.
The Creative Dream Incubator became my full time job in 2011 and, after all these years, I still feel weird when someone asks me what I do.
Don’t get me wrong - I LOVE my work and I am so proud of what I do. I get to help people create what they want in their lives! It's amazing!
It’s just that this work goes so much deeper than you think. It's not appropriate for “what do you do?” style small talk.
But I know you're not into small talk either, so let's really get into it.
After the Creative Dream Incubator: you TRUST the MAGIC and POWER in you.
Your dream is no longer something outside of you to chase after, it’s inside of you, and you come to know it as a light from your own soul that is here to guide you in your life. You come to know your dream as a sacred calling that is here to light up your whole life.
You are held in this beautiful process of healing and growth in becoming the version of you who can make this happen because you KNOW, deep down, that this is who you really are, the thing you are dreaming of is actually what you are here to do.
It's not just that you feel confident about your dreams, and it's not a mindset upgrade - it's a whole new way of being.
You stop being afraid of your fears and doubts.
You can look them in the eye, offer these hurting parts of you love and compassion, and get them out of the driver’s seat in your life.
You feel powerful in your life.
You know you can create what you want, and you can do it how you want to do it. No more looking for someone outside of you to give you the answers. You know that your dream chose YOU because YOU are the person who can do this. Your trust your ideas, your intuition and your inspiration.
You'll always have options for what to do next.
No more waiting for the stars to align so you can take your next steps, no more wondering HOW to make it happen - you’ve ALWAYS got options.
You have more clarity and focus. You have a birds-eye view of your dreams, and your path, no more getting lost in the weeds.
Obstacles don’t stop you anymore.
Every time you hit an obstacle you have a ton of support for working THROUGH it and coming out on the other side stronger, more powerful and more connected to your creative magic.
This does NOT mean that you’ll NEVER be stuck or afraid. Creative Dreaming is intensely vulnerable! You’re going to have feelings about it! But you will be able to work with… actually work THROUGH those feelings. They aren’t going to hijack your process.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership is an alchemical container. This means everything becomes fuel for transformation.
Your dream matters to you. It’s too important to leave it up to chance.
You know that your UNCONSCIOUS internal perceptions of yourself and the world are impacting how you see yourself and your dreams for your life.
And you know that you were born as this amazing creative radiant being.
It’s like how a rose was born to be this magnificent gorgeous rose - you were born to be a magnificent gorgeous (insert your name here).
We don’t live in a world where every seed gets what it needs to grow into it’s most full blown self. I mean - we clearcut entire forests.
So, you were born with this amazing potential and then… life happens.
Now, you still ARE that amazing potential and absolutely gorgeous person, it’s just… the soil around you might not be quite right to give your roots the nutrients you need, your watering schedule may be off, maybe you’re not getting quite enough sunlight.
You're close, but you know you would be BLOOMING WILDLY if you had the right nourishment and support.
And where you are different from a plant, of course, is that you can get up and move.
You can put yourself in an environment that gives you what you need to truly FLOURISH.
That’s what the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership does.
And then, because you’re not a plant and you’re not even just a person - YOU ARE AN ACTUAL CREATIVE GENIUS - there is no end to what you can do once you are flourishing.

⚡️Breakthroughs guaranteed⚡️
Your dream is your soul calling. It’s your soul showing you who you really are.
This is why I believe in your dreams FULLY. Because they come from your soul. They are the realest thing about you.
And the power, creativity and wisdom that it will take to make them happen in your life - also REAL. These are also elements of your soul. You wouldn’t have the dream if you didn’t already have the power, creativity and wisdom to make it happen.
I don’t make any promises about how long things will take. But I promise your dream is your dream for a reason. And pursuing it as a soul calling will change everything for you.
Let's be honest... a lot of people clicked away from this page long ago.
You're still here because this resonates, which means the Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership is for YOU. If you think that maybe this thing you're dreaming of could be your CALLING.. then this is definitely for you.
The membership is full of artists, healers, coaches, therapists, activists and people who are exploring who they want to be.
They are currently dreaming of: writing their next bestseller, starting a coaching business, having a whole new relationship with their bodies and making time for all of the creative hobbies they wish they were doing. Nothing is too big or too small here.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership works best for people who are creative, soulful or introspective.
And unfortunately these days this needs to be said, but you need to recognize that you don't dream in a vacuum, you dream in the world! You can't spiritual by-pass the state of the world. We are going to talk about the difficulties of living and dreaming in a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, colonialist, capitalist world, as genocide and climate collapse are happening around us.
At first, people usually join because they:
🦋 want to make a specific change in their personal or professional life
🦋 are ready to bring a new project to life
🦋 are feeling burnt out and need a new approach
🦋 have a big obstacle that they just can't seem to get around
🦋 have been working on their dreams and feel they need more support to get to the next level
And the membership will help with all of that. So that’s why people join… but then they STAY in the group for the magic, healing and growth.
Remember when I said I can help you get the thing you are dreaming of, but once you have it you’ll also have something much more important and so the dream will just be the icing on the cake? This is what I mean.
Pursuing your dream as a sacred calling is an alchemical process that will heal and transform you. If you’re anything like me, once you get really INTO that process - you will never want to leave. So I priced the membership at $33 USD/month for that reason. Many of our members have been here for years, and have no intention of leaving. I wanted this to be affordable as a long-term support system for LIVING YOUR MAGIC.
Because your soul is not going to make this one dream come true and then retire. Your soul is here to grow, create and expand and there are no limits to what it can do.
The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership is ongoing and you can join any time.
I have been running this group since 2012! We have been through a few iterations since then, and our current set-up is, of course, THE BEST.
The program content is available 24-7 with worksheets and videos to guide you through everything.
People say it’s like having me right there with them, showing them the secrets of creative dreaming. I'll show you how to set up your own Dream Book, which is a way of journaling that helps you navigate inner and outer work of making your dream happen.
And we do live Zooms!
Every month there is an intention setting call right before the new moon, where we do a process together to figure out with you want to focus on for the next month. Then we do coaching and Q+A - my goal is that at the end of the call everyone knows what they want to focus on AND has some practices that are going to help them be able to do what you want to do over the next month.
Every month we also have a Marketing as a Creative + Spiritual Practice call. We do talk about tactics and strategy sometimes, but mostly these calls are a place to focus on the inner and creative work of SHARING YOUR GIFTS.
Right now we are doing weekly calls on Fridays (for co-working, connecting and coaching) and I add other calls or change the schedule around depending on the needs of the group.
Most of our calls happen at 1:00 pm Central, North America - you'll have access to our Google Calendar so you can see everything that is coming up and translate it into your own time zone.
The replays are magic too!
This work is SO MUCH EASIER when you do it in community, and I have received consistent feedback that people feel this from the replays as well as the live calls.
If you can attend live of course that's amazing that we get to hang out and you can ask questions in real time. But I want to make sure you are getting what you need from the group if you can come to the live calls or not - so there is also a forum where you can post thoughts, ideas and questions while watching replays.
Some people prefer the replays, because you can pause the meditations to explore some prompts more deeply and give yourself more time wherever you need it.
The membership is set up with creatives in mind!
You have a lot of freedom in how you move through the membership AND there is structure to help you get the most out of it.
And NOTHING in mandatory! Just do the parts that appeal to you.
Some people just do the live coaching calls and healing circles, some people focus on the pre-recorded program content. It’s really up to you. You can receive 2-3 emails per week guiding you through the program content OR you can turn off the emails and go through it on your own time using the checklist on the website.
There is even an oracle you can visit that will give you a different resource to check out every time.
On the main page is a section for sending me an email - if you ever feel lost, you can let me know what you’re working on with your dream and I will suggest which tools and courses to work with.
"This, THIS, is why this 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."

How much easier would it be to make your dream HAPPEN with consistent and effective support?
No one has ever made a big dream real on their own. But most of us don’t have a lot of supportive people around us. Or we have people around us who support us, but they don’t actually know how to help us make this thing happen.
Joining the Creative Dream Coaching Membership gives you instant support and that felt sense that YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS, which is magic.
Plus you get access to ALL of the dream-growing tools I’ve created while running the Creative Dream Incubator for the last 13+ years! Just send me an email any time, let me know what you’re facing with your dream - and I will make recommendations for what to work with. (There’s a contact form on the main page of our website, so it’s always easy to reach out to me. I want to hear from you!)
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.

I've been teaching since 2008 and creating online classes since 2011! You'll get 24-7 access to all of my best classes, including favourites like:

Creative Business Incubator: an in-depth program I made with everything I learned when I made the shift into doing this work full time.
... Plus so many other programs and tools I can't list them all here.
“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!”

The Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership Guarantee:
You are going to have BREAKTHROUGHS.
When you join the group - you’ve got me on your side. I share ALL of my tools and I am HERE, helping you use them.
You’ll get emails that guide you through the process of setting up your Dream Book which also shows you around the membership site and how to use all the tools. These emails work beautifully for some people… and they don’t work AT ALL for other people. If you find they don’t work for you - send me an email and you and I will figure out a plan that works for you.
As long as you keep showing up, the support is here.
And I'll keep sending you emails to remind you to show up!
I am HERE, I am ON YOUR SIDE and I am WORKING AS YOUR COACH. This isn’t the kind of membership site where you just get access to classes and the occasional live call. When you join, we are working together on your dreams. Any time you get stuck or aren't sure what to do next - you'll have someone to turn to.
"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 listened to you when you said that this would change things, would shift energy and would change me. But I don’t think I believed you.
I believe you now. Your classes have changed things, shifted energy and changed me: profoundly.”
