Maria is a writer and podcaster from rural New Jersey from
an ultra-catholic family. Maria wanted to be a nun and was obsessed
about going to hell. By chance she read Joseph Campbell in high
school and he flung open the doors to how humans create story and
belief.
Maria was a stand-up comic in New York. She has a Master's
degree in creative writing from the University of Iowa, where she
also studied religion. Her passion is the new cosmology-the science
based story of how we and our universe have evolved and its
potential to supplant religion. Her e-book: Songs That Are to
Come, tells of her own discovery of this story from catholic nuns.
She now lives in northern Vermont where she blogs and podcasts
at meetyourmyth.com.
