Monastery or Temple in California

According to Worldwide Mahamevnawa Branches there's a "Mahamevnawa Meditation Monastery of California" in Torrance (in the region of Los Angeles).

I've attended Vipassana intensive retreats at Tathagata Meditation Center in San Jose, a Mahasi style center. I found the atmosphere conducive to advanced meditation practice and the other yogis who practice there were equally intense/not many beginners.

There is nothing specific to Theravada nearby (other than what you found in Redwood Valley, which I'm guessing is Abhayagiri), but just in case it is helpful, here are some other monasteries and temples that are somewhat close:
- Berkeley Buddhist Monastery
- Buddha Gate Monastery
- Wat Mongkolratanaram, a Thai Buddhist temple
- Berkeley Buddhist Temple
Also less than an hour away is also the Insight Meditation Center, which is neither a monastery nor a temple, but is very much rooted in Theravada teachings (so maybe worth mentioning).
