Are there any western lineages of Seon other than Kwan Um?

I'm just curious if there are other Seon lineages in the west that are comprised of mainly westerners, not immigrant communities.

That was probably Chonggo Sunim. He used to be active on the Fora and share some great posts.

I don't know if they are mostly Westerners or Korean immigrants. I visited their head temple in Anyang, near Seoul, to attend a Dharma talk given by an American monk, which he delivered in both English and Korean.
