Lena Shipley will facilitate a series of guided meditations through an allegorical castle. We will examine the stages of the spiritual life as we visit the seven rooms of the interior castle: Self Awareness of the Baggage that We Carry Within; The Gifts and Talents that We have Been Given; The Call to Service; Spiritual Freedom; and Reflective Mindfulness of the God Who Dwells with Each of Us.

Lena Shipley, is a retired Pastoral Associate of St. Francis & St. Clare Parish in Waterloo/Seneca Falls. She sits on the Board of Directors of the Queen of Peace Apostolate and serves as the editor of their monthly newsletter “Via Ad Pacem”. Lena has traveled to these sites of Marian Apparitions and has a deep foundation in Marian spirituality. After her return from Medjugorje in 1988, a Marian Cenacle was formed where Lena began to receive interior locutions from Mary and Jesus. She is committed to sharing her gifts with others so that many will come to know Mary and respond to her call.
