About the Podcast

Tending The Fire: A Journeymen Podcast
Illuminating the path of initiation, brotherhood, and mature masculinity.
What does it mean to step into your power as a man? How do we reclaim the wisdom of initiation and mentorship in a world that often leaves young men to navigate their journey alone?

Tending the Fire is a podcast dedicated to exploring these questions and more. Rooted in the mission of Journeymen Triangle, this space is for seekers, mentors, and men of all ages who believe in the power of authentic brotherhood, personal growth, and the ancient tradition of guiding the next generation.

Join us as we share stories of initiation, challenge outdated narratives of masculinity, and cultivate the tools needed to become the men our communities need.

Journeymen mentors young men (ages 13-19) during their transformation to becoming men.

Our mentors model healthy masculinity and nurture self-awareness and emotional growth, while supporting and challenging boys to discover their unique gifts. Journeymen Triangle is a 501C3 Charitable Organization. Find our More at https://journeymentriangle.org/
