From Stardust To Us
From Stardust to Us is a spirituality and consciousness podcast featuring in-depth conversations with thought leaders, scientists, artists, and spiritual activists exploring what it means to be human in an evolving universe. At the intersection of science and spirituality, we explore nonduality, sacred activism, eco-spirituality, grief, cosmology, interspiritual practice, and the reimagining of our relationship with Earth and one another. In a time of cultural, ecological, and spiritual upheaval, these conversations invite deeper awareness, integrity, and compassionate action. Hosted by Bernice Marie-Daly, Ph.D., a contemplative activist and interspiritual guide whose work centers Divine Feminine presence and relational spirituality, and LaNell Haydon, writer and creator exploring spiritual insight, human experience, and awakening in everyday life.
