About Still Water Insight Group

Renata is the founder of Still Water Insight, a community group formed with the intention of providing a respectful space where we can sit, learn, and share the Buddha-dharma teachings and practices, and explore how they can be applied to our daily lives. Insight (Vipassana) in the Buddhist tradition means to see clearly into the nature of existence.

The group offers insight meditation events including sangha meetings, insight meditation courses, practice days and retreats in NSW and online. If you are interested in experiencing the connection that can be found when practicing and sharing your journey with others, through Insight Meditation, please come and join us and explore the dharma. ​

Testimonials

  • ‘Renata is a gifted teacher and I like very much the way she tunes in to an individual's response and honour that, whilst giving back what might be a good offering for them as well.

    I can see that Renata has studied the dharma extensively and it is fab to be the recipient of this specialised knowledge. I love the space and authenticity in her teachings as well as inclusion of relevance to trauma and the unconscious as related to processing deep feelings. I also really enjoyed the class on The Inner Critic!

    It seems to me that she lives what she teaches. It is so wonderful to experience that.’
