Organization
Insight Community of the Desert was established in 2012. Twelve local practitioners answered a call by Larry Yang to meet at his home to explore creating a meditation community in the Desert.
Over time, the 12 became a Steering Committee, then we incorporated and became a 501c3 non profit, a formal board was established and governs the organization to this day.
