Joseph Bobrow is a Zen Roshi, psychoanalyst, and author, who has long been integrating Buddhist practice with depth psychology to create relational settings in which individual and collective anguish can be transformed. Most recently he developed reintegration retreats that helped thousands of veterans, their families, and their caregivers transform the traumas of war and find peace. Joseph and his team at Coming Home Project (http://www.cominghomeproject.net/), a service of Deep Streams Zen Institute (http://deepstreams.org/) dedicated to alleviating debilitating trauma, discovered a process called Turning Ghosts into Ancestors; published research (http://cominghomeproject.net/about#research) demonstrates how it facilitates post-traumatic growth. Coming Home Project now offers consultation and training to create optimal environments for healing, learning, and individual and social change. Joseph tells the story of his integrative work and its contemporary applications to building peace in Waking Up From War: A Better Way Home For Veterans And Nations (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1634310322/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wescoatrapro-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1634310322&linkId=cfcb357be51447a981a2d13d634f6af4), with a Foreword by His Holiness The Dalai Lama.
