“The full realization of our humanity is not measured by the battles we fight, the wealth we accumulate, or the kingdoms we rule, but by the depth of soul we grow in the second half of life.”
Sage: A Man’s Guide Into His Second Passage by Chris Bruno
Chris Bruno is the Co-Founder and CEO of Restoration Project and Founder and CEO of ReStory Counseling, devoting his life to helping people come alive. He is the author of Sage: A Man's Guide Into His Second Passage, Man Maker Project: A Father's Guide to Initiating His Son to Manhood and Brotherhood Primer: A Man’s Guide to Turning Buddies into Brothers, and a licensed professional counselor. He has decades of experience helping men recover their hearts.
After graduating from Northwestern University in 1995 with both a Bachelor's in Communication and a Master’s in Speech, he and his wife spent close to ten years in the Middle East in college ministry. Upon returning to the U.S., he completed a Master's in Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, while also serving on staff at the seminary alongside Dan Allender as a facilitator and curator of restorative experiences.
Now in Colorado, Chris leads two teams of story-sherpas: at Restoration Project, developing experiences and resources designed to "contend for men to reclaim who they are" specifically in the realms of fatherhood, brotherhood, and sonship; and at ReStory Counseling with a ReStory-informed team of therapists, spiritual directors, and Storywork coaches. Chris also offers ReStory® Intensives, 3-5 day experiences for individuals, couples, and groups.
Married for 27 years to his wife, Beth, they have three mostly adult children and enjoy adventures in the Colorado mountains or overseas whenever possible. He loves Jeeps, streams, whiskey, Scotland, and everything Celtic.
