From Wounded to Warrior:

Where quiet land and honest work forge clarity, courage, and connection.

The Rugged Journey Texas Sky
The Rugged Journey Matador Retreat White Tail Buck

Set on the historic Matador Ranch, this retreat places you in the rugged beauty of the Texas Panhandle. Wide skies, rolling prairie, and quiet nights create the backdrop for inner work that few men ever make time to do.

What Awaits You In Matador

This isn’t about escape—it’s about engagement: with yourself, your story, and a circle of men who get it.

Brotherhood in the Wild

Step into a circle of men ready for honest conversation and deep connection.

Guided Story Work

Move from wounded to warrior through reflection, teaching, and practices you can carry home.

The Fire + The Quiet

Campfire talks, morning grounding, and spacious time to breathe.

Rest + Renewal

Comfortable lodging and nourishing meals provided on site.

Not a Conference. Not a Vacation. A Rite of Passage.

The Rugged Journey Matador Retreat Sunset

This retreat is for men who are ready to do real work—the kind that doesn’t happen behind screens or in comfort zones. At The Matador, you’ll trade distraction for firelight, noise for silence, and routine for something raw and real.

It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you are—a man with purpose, strength, and a story worth owning.

Only ten men will make this journey together, ensuring depth, brotherhood, and space to breathe.

The Rugged Journey Matador Retreat Man Walking

Are You One of the Ten?

This isn’t for everyone. It’s for men ready to get honest, dig deep, and step into something real. Ten men. One fire. One weekend to lay down the noise and remember what matters.

If you feel that pull — that edge between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming — this is your moment to step in.

Secure your place for The Matador Retreat — November 15–16, 2025.
