A review of Caroline Myss' work by Barbara Cronin on the “Circles of Light.com” website:
"Entering the Castle offers the reader insight, wisdom, and the opportunity at true happiness through a sincere, intimate relationship with our Creator, our God. This relationship takes effort on a consistent basis in order for true success to be achieved. This book is quite different from other Myss books. It’s based in truth and hard work. This isn’t a quick, light, or easy read but maybe that’s what’s missing from society today. The hard work and commitment to doing something that is worthwhile. If you want to develop a deep spiritual relationship with your Maker but don’t know where to begin (and aren’t scared off by hard work and dedication) then Entering the Castle just could be the book to change your life."

About the Leaders

Lee Ireland

Rev. Lee A. Ireland is now retired after serving many churches as a long-time Interim Pastor. She lives in Niantic, CT and is focusing on spiritual formation programs, retreats and offering Individual Spiritual Direction sessions. She received her M.Div. from Andover Newton Theological School, and was trained as a Spiritual Director at Mercy Center, Madison, CT from 1997-99. She has served in 14 different congregational settings as well as working in a women's prison and as a per diem hospital chaplain. Since 1990, she has had the joy of leading retreats. She is well aware of how life throws us curve balls and we can become distracted from our soul's journey by many events that may lead us to dead-ends. As we choose to study the wisdom of others, journal, listen to our dreams or participate in retreats and spiritual formation programs, we learn how to listen within so we can stay on our faith journeys. We discern the guidance we need so we can live into our personal Calls, and live into unexpected moments which nurture the peace within and make our hearts and souls sing. We can then make new life choices that enable us to live in the Now as we love and serve from our centeredness, a sense of gratitude due our deepening relationship with God.
