ABOUT GLEN EYRIE
Join us at a retreat center like no other, with a castle, 800 acres of glorious space right next to Garden of the Gods Park, a waterfall hike, fantastic meals, and time to go on a walk and be with God, together. Even if you’re from Colorado Springs, you’ll feel like you are far away from all the noise and hurry.
RETREAT OVERVIEW
You, whose lives are connected to combat veterans of any era, know that the aftermath of war is a battle fought and won on the home front. Many of your loved ones may have experienced combat trauma and are dealing with the pain and confusion of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), but you also are impacted by their war experiences!
You will . . .
- Get the latest updates on medical, psychological and spiritual insights about PTSD and TBI.
- Gain a better understanding of your own issues including Secondary Traumatic Stress and Compassion Fatigue.
- Experience a safe, confidential environment where you can be transparent.
- Learn about resources available to help you and your loved ones.
- Build a customized support network.
- Construct your own plan for personal wholeness and health.
- Rekindle hope and renew your strength for the journey
- Be pampered! Get a chair massage, a manicure, or a facial!
OUR RETREAT LEADER
 Marshéle Waddell served with her husband, Commander (ret.) Mark Waddell, a career U.S. Navy SEAL, for 25 years. Together with their three children, the Waddells have endured over two decades of lengthy separations and eleven deployments for combat duty, special operations training and real world conflicts. Mark is now battling PTSD and multiple TBIs with Marshéle at his side. Marshele and her husband are now empty nesters and her son, Joshua, is a U.S. Marine Infantry Officer, presently deployed to Afghanistan (pray for him!).
Founder of One Hope Ministry, Marshéle is also a popular national and international speaker and has written numerous articles for both Christian and military publications. Her first two books, Hope for the Home Front: Winning the Emotional and Spiritual Battles of a Military Wife and its companion Bible study, Hope for the Home Front Bible Study arm other military wives with God’s promises of His presence, power and protection. She co-authored the book When War Comes Home – Christ-centered Healing for Wives of Combat Veterans, and was a contributing author for a book called: Faith Deployed: Devotions for Military Wives.
Marshéle is an advocate for veterans’ issues at the national level, speaking with U.S. senators and congressmen as well as health councils and organizations regularly on behalf of combat veterans and their families. She is a consultant and spokesperson for Pikes Peak Behavioral Health Group in Colorado Springs.
