About the Retreat
Need some get-away-and-recovery time from the rigors and pace of everyday life? A spiritual retreat of sorts? Taking a few days to settle into this secluded, quiet and beautiful valley known as Glen Eyrie might be just what you need to rest and re-connect with the Lord. Desire encouragement from God’s Word or from other like-minded and Christ-following docs and spouses? Want some discipleship tools and training to come alongside others? Or how about an extended time-alone-with-God opportunity?
If you have any thoughts or questions, please reach out to John Dietrich at: Jdidandmd2@mac.com.
*Scholarships are available for physicians in training (medical school, residency and fellowship). For scholarship information, please email annajdietrich@gmail.com
