About Andrea

I teach a spiritual approach to connecting with your inner warrior, the part of you who can face intense challenges and turn them into stepping stones, and even opportunities. I have a rich YouTube channel loaded with resources: https://www.youtube.com/@andreamwinn/

I have been leading a community called the Warriors of Peace since November 6, 2024 - the day the U.S. election results were announced. I have been drawing on my experience from 2018 when I formed an organization called, Buddhist Project Sunshine (BPS), and exposed the leader of a global Buddhist cult. I reached over 10,000 people and transformed their lives for the better in just one year! It is a powerful example of how we can improve people's lives when we are clear about our mission, work skillfully with people who want to block change, and employ powerful spiritual warrior practices.

My Story

I grew up in a cult.

Everything was chaotic and by all standards, this was an impossible place to develop a sense of identity or how to have personal boundaries.

Patterns of disconnect were implanted in me and it was SO hard to live life as an adult with that skewed view of myself and reality. I struggled with huge amounts of self-doubt, shame and being very harsh on myself.

I felt small and incapable of handling any challenge.

It made everything I worked for - like academic degrees and jobs - way harder than other people without these internal developmental handicaps.

It made living daily life hard. At the end of my days I felt painful loneliness, hopelessness and overwhelm.

BUT… then I engaged a deep healing journey over the course of more than 30 years. I developed unique and powerful ways to get grounded - super grounded - and I formed a healthy sense of identity. I also became an avid student of boundaries and I have developed exceptional personal boundaries.

I got so grounded in my truth, I went on to lead a global initiative, Buddhist Project Sunshine, to expose the sexual violence in the cult and liberate the community from the tyranny of the guru.

Things are a lot different now. I’m enjoying life and serving thousands of people through my coaching and Warriors of Peace work in the world.

Many of you have connected with me through my Warriors of Peace community work on YouTube. I welcome your connection!
