About Truxtun
Truxtun isn’t a retreat company — it’s a tribe.
Truxtun is the premier experiential resilience company for high performers. Our mission is to transform the chaotic military-to-civilian transition into a rite of passage that builds clarity, community, and long-term leadership.

Truxtun fills a gap most systems don’t address—the identity shift that happens after service. For elite veterans, leaving uniform often means losing purpose, clarity, and connection. Truxtun offers a full-spectrum protocol grounded in coaching, ceremony, and community to bring structure and long-term resilience to that transition. It’s not wellness. It’s leadership rebuilt from the inside out.
We operate in a space where science is evolving fast and regulation is still catching up. That means every move must balance safety, trust, and proof. This work is hard to define, harder to scale, and impossible to fake.
What sets Truxtun apart is trust and caliber. Our protocols are operator-designed, peer-led, and clinically informed—blending neuroscience, ancient tradition, and performance coaching. Preparation is real. Integration is long. And unlike most programs, Truxtun stays with you beyond the weekend.
