The World Needs Creatives with Rachael Sardelich
The World Needs Creatives is hosted by Rachael Sardelich, Vedic Meditation Teacher and Consultant to Creatives. Rachael has spent over two decades working at the confluence of creativity and spirituality and now leads her clients to explore, germinate and birth their creative visions into the world. During this weekly podcast, Rachael shares wise and inspired conversations to expand our creative consciousness.
Join Rachael in a space where the deeper questions are always asked and learn exactly what has shaped the humans behind remarkable ideas, cultural movements and visionary art in all of its forms.
Within you’ll find stories on embracing darkness and finding wholeness, the blurred boundaries between human and nature, breaking limitations and building legacies, rich inner-landscapes that hold untapped potential, and prophecies that will open portals of possibility within you.
These conversations are regenerative moments of incubation, creation and renewal. They won’t ask you to sit still and play nice. They will awaken your senses, wildly inspire the muse within and remind you: the world needs what you’ve got.

30. The Messages In Our Dreams with Marieke McKenna
Today, we journey into the dreamscape with writer, philosopher, historian, and radio DJ Marieke McKenna — where the symbols of night speak to the stories of our waking lives.
Together we explore the mysterious language of dreams: how they carry hidden truths and unwritten maps, how listening to them can unlock creative depth, and why paying attention to the unseen is essential in a world that moves too fast.
Marieke shares her own story — from a multicultural upbringing in London and the Scottish Highlands, to her explorations in philosophy, spirituality, and cultural history, and a profound near-death experience that reshaped her relationship to dreams. We wander through scientific perspectives, cross-cultural traditions, lucid dreaming, and the creative fire that emerges when we let the dreamworld influence our waking lives.
You’ll also hear practical ways to begin or deepen your own dream practice: how to recall and record dreams, how to listen to the body’s quiet signals, and how the symbolic language of night can enrich your artistry, intuition, and imagination.
This is an invitation to every creative mind curious about the invisible threads that guide us: to listen more deeply, create with intuition, and trust the whispers that arise in the spaces between sleep and waking.
