11. Ancient Survivors (Species Older Than Dinosaurs)

12. Universes Born from Universes

What if every ending is also a beginning? In this season finale, we explore theories and myths that imagine our universe not as the first — but as one in a long lineage of worlds. From black holes birthing baby universes to the endless bubbling of cosmic inflation, scientists, philosophers, and storytellers all wonder: could reality be recursive? We follow the spiral through physics, ancient cosmologies, and metaphor — tracing a grand genealogy of creation where each universe carries echoes of the one before. Tune in for a story of cosmic rebirth, nested realities, and the mysterious question of where it all begins.

11. Ancient Survivors (Species Older Than Dinosaurs)

Before the dinosaurs, before flowers bloomed, before the continents drifted into place — they were here. This episode traces the lives of Earth’s oldest living species: horseshoe crabs, jellyfish, cyanobacteria, and other ancient survivors that have endured for hundreds of millions, even billions, of years. What wisdom lives in such resilience? What might these species — so often overlooked — teach us about change, adaptation, and continuity? Tune in for a journey through deep time and humble brilliance.

10. Time & Other Dimensions

What is time, really? A ticking clock? A river we drift down? A spiral? A construct? In this episode, we peer into time’s many layers — from Einstein’s spacetime and time warps in myth, to the way memory, movement, and meaning shape our experience of it. We explore time not just as something to measure, but something to feel: elastic, personal, nonlinear. A force that both carries us forward and pulls us back. Tune in for a journey through time’s hidden dimensions — the scientific, symbolic, and poetic.

09. DNA: The Spiral of Memory

Every cell in your body carries an ancient story — one written in the spiral of your DNA. This episode explores the biology and poetry of genetic memory: how your body holds not just your blueprint, but echoes of your lineage, your ancestors, and the Earth itself. What invisible histories live within you? What are you carrying that you cannot see?

08. The Poetry and Physics of Rainbows

Rainbows 🌈 witnessing one feels like a sudden, unexpected gift ~ we exclaim with joy, point them out to those around us, and linger in their beauty for as long as we can. Their presence brings such AWE and presence, even to the most mundane moments. But something you might not know about rainbows ~ no two people ever see the same rainbow, even if you're standing right next to each other! Rainbows, which made of tiny droplets of water that bend and refract light, can only be seen when the sun, the rain, and the observer are in perfect alignment. In this episode of Tiny Portals, we explore the physics and poetry of rainbows ~ and dive deeper into the symbols and wisdom that these wonderful spectrums of light hold. ~~ This episode is paired with a soft, sweeping yin practice inspired by water, light, and color. We move through the chakra system — each energy center resonating with a hue of the rainbow — to invite alignment, flow, and inner radiance.
