WE ARE IN TRANSITION! Since our decision to open our sangha to trans men, and gender fluid - gender non conforming members, we have a lot of work to do to update our site our Facebook page, PO Box etc to reflect our new identities! Please bear with us as we do this transition. At our April organizational meeting, we changed the name Lotus Sisters to our new name: Lotus Insight Sangha.
