I’m Andrea Schroeder, founder of The Creative Dream Incubator.
I'm an artist, writer and mentor to artists, healers, activists + visionaries who are MAKING IT HAPPEN.
I have a Bachelor of Applied Arts in fashion design from Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto, Canada, and have been an officially accredited spiritual counsellor (which means - 3 years of training + 1 year of interning).
I started creating my own courses and workshops, combining creative journaling with meditation and healing circles, in 2008 in Winnipeg, Canada.
I have been working full time online with the Creative Dream Incubator since January 1, 2011.
I always had BIG CREATIVE DREAMS and no clue how to make them happen.
I spent most of my 20s being a stereotypical starving artist. When these dreams tanked, I got an office job and started taking classes in personal and spiritual growth like my life depended on it - which it kind of did, as I processed all of the grief and shame of working so hard at it, and not being able to make my creative dreams happen.
A few years later, I had taken so many classes I was suddenly a bonafide, accredited spiritual teacher. I started bringing creativity, play and emotional sensitivity to spiritual workshops and healing circles... and the rest is history.
I mean, the rest was a VERY SLOW PROCESS of making my biggest dream come true - building up The Creative Dream Incubator as a business that could sustain me financially, which is has been doing since Jan 1, 2011.
I have been running an online membership site consistently since August 2012 (!!) holding space for creative dreamers (most of our members are artists, healers, therapists, coaches and activists) in the daily work of making their next big dream HAPPEN.
And I launched the Dream Book program on Jan 1, 2020 - it is the culmination of everything I've learned about creative dreaming, and the best support system your dreams could ever ask for. Dream Book is included in my Creative Dream Incubator Coaching Membership.
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
- the DEEP work - 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!
I hate:
- the oppressive systems we live under and the idea that we should "just think positive" instead of actively working to dismantle dominant culture
- being out past 10 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
In the Creative Dream Incubator, I help 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.
It's not just about making your dreams happen (though I am a BIG fan of that) it's about who you become in the process. The real magic comes from the healing and growth that happen along the way.
Here is how I can help you with your dreams:

I also offer one of my programs outside of the membership - it's called PROJECT MIRACLE.

I also made a bunch of Guided Journals.
