About Basha Hirschfeld: Basha has been a student of Pema Chödrön — and through her, the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who founded Shambhala in the West, and now his son, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche — since 2001. She lived in Asia for nine years and taught Health to middle-schoolers at the Jakarta International School while her husband explored for geothermal energy. She and her husband brought back many treasures from Asia, and started a store in Santa Rosa upon their return from the tropics. They closed the store in 2012, and many of the antiques, stone statuary, and Southeast Asian architectural elements are featured now in the Meditation Hall and placed throughout the 8-acre property that is part of Open Sky Retreat Center. Barbara Hirschfeld at Karma Choling, VT

As a member of the Sonoma Shambhala Center, she volunteered to cook for Pema and thus a student-teacher relationship was born.
