About Owen Kinser
Owen Kinser has been involved as a student and supporter of the Center of Nonviolent Communication since Fall 2005. His introduction to the process began at the 2005 National Convention to create a U.S. Department of Peace in Washington D.C. Since then, he has attended training and workshops with local facilitator Judith Stuart-Coale, Certified Trainer Kelly Bryson, and NVC developer Marshall Rosenberg. In the Fall of 2006, Owen and fellow facilitator J Kendel Johnson led a 12-week study group of Marshall's book, "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life", at the Dallas Peace Center. Owen also facilitated a 3-week workshop at the Unity Church of Fort Worth and a 10-week book study/practice in Fort Worth. Owen is passionate and excited about how Compassionate Communication has transformed lives, including his own, and it's ability to foster and heal connections between people. Recently, he has established the Fort Worth Center for Compassionate Communication, whose purpose is to facilitate study/practice groups and spread awareness of the process of Nonviolent Communication in the DFW area.
