Founded by Rodney Smith in 1980, Insight Meditation Houston (IMH) promotes the benefits of Vipassana or Insight meditation in Houston and environs. It has been meeting weekly since its founding. Our Community Dharma Leader currently is Ginger Clarkson, who was trained at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California, under Jack Kornfield and other Buddhist teachers.
In June of 2015, IMH was recognized as non-profit public charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is governed by a Board of Directors, whose policies are implemented by an Executive Director.
