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.

It’s been almost two years since our last conversation with John Roedel, an episode that quickly became one of our most listened-to.
This time, John returns to share the working title of his forthcoming book of poems and blessings, Anointing this Threshold. Keep an eye out for this beautiful new collection.
We also dive into his recent Substack post, Bloodlust Celibacy, where John confronts something haunting at the heart of America. What begins with an unexpected visit to a friend’s basement filled with guns unfolds into a reckoning with our nation’s addiction to violence and a culture where weapons are not only owned but celebrated.
Join us as we discover what has developed for John in his career and life in this heartfelt conversation.
