Journey:
Confluence | Fire and Water
The PTG Journey series is for men who are very serious about their personal expansion.
Journey: Confluence offers bold adventures on both outer and inner terrain -
curated so men will connect powerfully with their highest version of Self and thrive.
At the confluence of wild rivers and deep waters within, Journey: Confluence is a rare gathering of men called to explore the rugged outer terrain and the uncharted landscapes of the soul.
Over five transformative days in the mountains and rivers of Colorado, you’ll join Patrick Johnson and Dr. Tom Garcia for a multi-faceted passage — where challenge meets clarity, fire meets brotherhood, and the outer adventure becomes the inner awakening.
Core Essence
A carefully selected crew of men answering the call to step away from daily life and immerse in a guided exploration of the wild — and themselves.
This is an intentional, elemental journey in the sacred Arkansas River Valley outside of Buena Vista, CO where mountain trails, whitewater rapids, riverside camps, fire ceremonies, and deep conversation create the space for you to remember who you are and step into the man you are becoming.
Brotherhood
Share challenge, laughter, and truth in the company of men willing to go deep.
Inner Work
Enjoy time on the trails and rivers enjoying the magic of nature and its healing effects. And we explore the power of fire ceremonies, breathwork, plant medicine, and guided reflection to uncover clarity and purpose.
Adventure
From alpine trails to rushing rivers, engage your body and sharpen your mind through real physical challenge.
Integration
Learn practices to carry your breakthroughs home, keeping your growth alive long after the journey ends. And we have a portal to stay in touch with the lifelong friends you made during the experience.
