The Dreaming Collective
The Dreaming Collective Podcast is a powerful, ongoing series amplifying First Nations voices — our stories, our way. Born from a 2024 NAIDOC Week initiative celebrating the theme Keep the Fire Burning: Blak, Loud & Proud, the podcast continues to elevate the rich personal stories, cultural wisdom, and lived experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples connected to Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country on the Sunshine Coast.
Created, led and hosted by Carly Forrest — a proud Mandandanji woman and founder of The Dreaming Collective — this 100% Indigenous-led platform centres community, culture, truth-telling, and legacy.
Originally funded by the National Indigenous Australians Agency as part of a 2024 National NAIDOC Week Activity, The Dreaming Collective Podcast has grown into an enduring space to honour our past, speak our present, and shape our future.
Blak voices. Cultural insight. Collective wisdom.
