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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Part 1 of our conversation with writer, spiritual companion, and contemplative activist Leslye Colvin, we explore the roots of her faith, her family’s journey toward Catholicism, her reflection on Jesus's words, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do," and the long arc of colonization. This is a rich and reflective dialogue on belonging, courage, and the power of presence.
Leslye Colvin is a writer, contemplative activist, spiritual companion, and retreat facilitator. She is a native of Alabama, the ancestral lands of the Muskogee.
Inspired by the tradition of Catholic social teaching, she is passionate about encouraging diversity of thought especially as it relates to those often marginalized within the community. Leslye has extensive experience in promoting the mission and expanding outreach of a variety of sectors including faith-based nonprofits.
She has been published and interviewed by national and international media on the flawed construct of race. Through her research, she reveals contemplative writer Thomas Merton as anti-racist. Her blog, Leslye’s Labyrinth, features writing that transcends her African-American Catholic heart.
