Tell Us A Story Podcast is Live

Our latest project is a Podcast called Tell Us A Story. This podcast is dedicated to the stories that connect us through our shared life experiences as well as the stories that reveal the sometimes stark differences. Only by truly listening to one another can we bridge the gaps that divide us thereby fostering empathy, respect, and kindness with one another.

We believe everyone has a story to tell. Not necessarily and big dramatic story, but maybe a story that, over time, has come to have more and more meaning to those who lived it. Listen now on Spotify or your favorite podcast app.  You can also visit the website.

Production is underway on the Sīvali documentary.

John Mulligan , ordained as Sīvali, is a Buddhist Upāsaka or “lay disciple” and currently resides in Adams County Pennsylvania.  He has been active in Buddhist Prison Ministry as well as the Director of Bodhi House, a post release housing facility for men reentering society after incarceration. He also actively supports the Buddhist and mindfulness meditation communities of South Central Pennsylvania as the founder and senior teacher of the Insight Meditation Community of Gettysburg.

This is just a small glimpse of the story of Sīvali.  There is much more…

We will soon be collecting your stories for possible inclusion in this documentary.
