Breath to Bones

Breath to Bones is a structured, relational recovery community for men who are ready to move from isolation and secrecy toward lasting transformation, founded by licensed therapist Chris Chandler. The community is built around the conviction that men heal faster and more deeply in community than in isolation — a pattern Chandler observed consistently over two decades of clinical practice. Members work through an integrated curriculum that combines neuroscience-informed clinical frameworks with the work of leading researchers including Patrick Carnes, Dan Siegel, Gabor Maté, Bessel van der Kolk, and Richard Schwartz. The program addresses compulsive behaviors, fractured intimacy, and spiritual disconnection through structured group work, practical tools, and rigorous relational training — not passive talk therapy. Men learn to regulate their nervous systems, map their behavioral patterns, and build new relational capacities alongside other men doing the same work. A Women's Program is also available, and intensive programs supplement the core community experience.
