“Shumsha is the kind of person you want to be near and learn from and laugh with.  Her capacity to attune to the people around her - from her clients, to her family, to her community - is unmatched.  I’ve never met anyone who has such high emotional, spiritual & academic intelligence and can apply it to every part of their life.  She is always present, never stressed, and unwavering in positivity.  I am so lucky to have known her for 15 years where I’ve seen her grow her thriving law practice, continuously nurture her personal & spiritual growth through various programs with deep commitment, and courageously blend her experience into a new venture continuing to serve in new ways.  Her retreats will undoubtedly heal folks while connecting them to each other, because the way she lives for community is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.  And all of this can’t go without underscoring the beautiful mother & wife she embodies - for Shumsha this is a sacred role and is evidenced by the ease and flow her children and husband can be their full selves with her leadership.  It is not easy to raise 3 kids in the Bay Area and be happily married for 25 years, but I doubt she would ever phrase it that way.  She would likely say it was a beautiful journey that flowed with ease and grace, because the way she moves through the world invites that energy and that energy only.  Shumsha is a gift to us all, and the more she expands her offerings, the more we all get to heal. ”
