“That’s where the teachings and practises are most potent – when we perforate any notion that they might be transcendent or divine or separate from the stuff of our everyday life, and begin to apply them and see their relevance in going to the grocery store, and all that kind of stuff.”
– Neil McKinlay

Neil McKinlay is a meditation teacher and mentor. In this lovely interview he melts down a number of myths about meditation, breaking it open as a practise for everyone, with many benefits that find their way into everyday life.

About Neil McKinlay
Neil McKinlay has spent his adult life studying and practicing embodied meditation. Through this span, he has lead events of 100+ people both in-person and online. He has also been a parent and partner, author and competitive swim coach. In recent years, 'survivor' has been added to Neil's list of roles and accomplishments as he recovers from a relationship with a dysfunctional spiritual mentor.
These diverse experiences lend Neil's presentation of meditation a unique flavour. Well aware of the challenges and opportunities a full contemporary life poses for meditation practice, he speaks to - and links - the realities of both with candour and freshness.
In addition to offering in-person instruction in Victoria, BC, Neil leads two online communities (The Living Meditation Network and The Online Gatherings), and hosts the Bringing Meditation to Life podcast. He also mentors individuals wanting to bring meditation - and the inner wisdom we connect with through this practice - more fully into their lives.
