Wayne McNab
Wayne has spent close to 50 years working in the technical field of electronics and telecommunications engineering, management and consulting. Since moving to Pender from Vancouver 20 years ago, he has been studying, teaching and practicing as a Master of the Japanese healing art of Reiki. He has studied under Masters such as Hyakuten Inamoto, and Hiroshi Doi of Gendai Reiki Ho from Japan, who encompasses the techniques of both Western and Japanese Reiki systems. Wayne teaches workshops in all levels of Reiki up to and including Master level.
For 40 years Wayne has taught the Martial Art of Karate and was the founding President and a Technical Director of the North American Shotokan Karate Association. He has taught instructor workshops combining the study of Karate and yin studies such as Reiki, Yoga, and meditation to give a uniquely spiritual and compassionate perspective of this art.
His personal study for the past 10 years has been of prehistory goddess cultures, and the transitions into patriarchy that have so heavily effected the status of Women and shaped the structure and perceptions of our present cultures.
Personal Statement
My studies have taken me on a very wonderful path. My own experiences with Karate, Reiki and other Asian studies, and now my studies in Women's history have profoundly changed my outlook on life, reality, and what that can mean for our collective culture. It has greatly influenced how and what I teach, and has allowed me to see and experience that very unique place where technique meets art to produce the miracle of intuitive and spontaneous response. That gift of intuitive insight and action is at work behind any true art. It changes an art form into the experience of art. Experiencing that place, is a spiritual experience.
