Meditation Services and Events

“Neil’s guided approach is incredibly effective.”
- David Mitchell, President Innovative Partnership Solutions

Using a powerful, body-centered approach to practice, Neil McKinlay helps people travel the meditative path. Joining his long experience as a swim coach with his training as a meditation instructor, he provides the guidance required for us to engage the practice of meditation with confidence and curiosity.

His most well-known service is Learning to Meditate. Presented in a variety of formats in homes, community centers, and professional settings, this popular event introduces a unique style of meditation in an immediate and accessible way. Participants are given first-hand experience with meditation and helped to integrate regular practice into their daily schedules.

As a personal meditation coach, Neil uses his training and insight to help both new and more experienced practitioners explore the depths of the meditative tradition. These one-on-one interactions afford a powerful, personal engagement with the practice. They allow unparalleled opportunities for us to draw meditation further into our lives. 

Through monthly gatherings of the Ocean View Meditation Group, Neil offers continuing direction for people who, having already worked with him, are interested in further exploration of this profound tradition. A weekly class for such individuals is held at Oak Bay’s Monterey Centre. Please consult the current "Coming Events" for a class schedule.
