Hi, I'm Renata, co-founder and resident teacher at Still Water Insight. My journey with meditation began in 2012 in the Goenka Vipassana tradition, followed by immersive experiences and ongoing study within Vajrayana and Western Insight traditions.

My path has been supported by a strong daily meditation and inquiry practice and deepened through participation in many silent meditation retreats since 2012. While the Buddha-Dharma forms the foundation of my spiritual unfolding, my journey has also been deeply enriched by non-dual teachings, the Diamond Approach and Focusing.

I have a particular interest in the interplay between spiritual awakening and psychological healing, drawn to somatic practices and lineages that integrate these dimensions on all levels. In the end, the true dharma can only be found in this very ordinary life of ours—this very body, this breath, this moment-to-moment unfolding life.

Through Still Water Insight, I share the fruits of my ongoing spiritual practice and create space for you to inquire and deepen your understanding of the Dharma within your own life and experience.
