"Living 24 hours with mindfulness is more worthwhile than living 100 years without it."
- The Buddha
ABOUT
Susmita grew up in Kolkata, India in a minority Bengali Barua Buddhist family. After finishing her graduate studies in Geography and Urban-Regional Planning from University of Calcutta (1985) and University of Arizona (1987), she came to settle in Lexington, KY in 1989 with her spouse and 3 month old baby. Immigration to the US, adapting to new culture, weather, food and school, plus the stress of new marriage, in-laws, finding reliable babysitters and adapting to the new city planning job in an all male environment led her to an inner crisis of culture and identity. Listening to her heart, she was able to quit her first full time job in January, 1993, determined to find a way out of this unforeseen inner turmoil, trauma and shock.
WHAT IS LIFE TRANSFORMATION COACHING?
Life Transformation coaching connects you with your inborn sanity by cultivating moment to moment awareness of your own mind. My whole life engaged practice is based on learning, contemplation and meditation using core teachings of Buddha and my own journey to Awakening, using my own self-inquiry inspired by my early childhood exposure to Buddhist teachings.
I am convinced transforming the quality of human life and society is possible now more than any time in history, if each of us take 100% responsibility to sustain our personal and social well-being.

Just want to say the K. Gibran and Rumi quotes were "delightful" - and I'm certainly "open" to anything "senior citizens" might be able to DO to help breathe life back into a beleaguered "Planet." At my age I'm definitely "not" in need of more courses of services - I'd just like a place where I could meet kindred spirits that: "Want to give something back!"
