About John KinyonCNVC Certified Trainer from El Sobrante, California, USA
Email: nvcmediation@johnkinyon.com Website www.johnkinyon.com John Kinyon has offered communication and conflict resolution to people around the world, including work with Afghan tribal elders along the Pakistani border in early 2002. John specializes in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and particularly in NVC mediation -- applying the language, skills and principles of NVC to the process of mediating conflict within oneself, with others, and supporting others who are in conflict. Over the past 7 years, he has co-developed with colleague Ike Lasater NVC mediation training that now includes 5-day residential retreats and year-long immersion programs in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. He has been a trainer of the international Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) since 2000 and is a co-founder of the Bay Area NVC organization (BayNVC). He has studied and worked closely with NVC founder Marshall Rosenberg since 1998 and has been regularly invited by him to be a staff trainer at 9-day international intensive trainings. John’s emphasis within this work is developing principles and practices for NVC and mediation as a spiritual practice. John has mediated conflicts on just about every level of human relationship, including couples, family, community, business, legal contexts and institutions. In organizations he has had particular experience with small and family businesses. John’s mediation practice has included an entire graduate faculty of the University of California at Los Angeles, the Executive vice Chancellor and all the vice chancellors at another UC system university, numerous small and family businesses, families with inheritance issues, faculty and administration in alternative schools, personal and business partnership dissolutions, and individuals and groups desiring conflict coaching and communication training support. John’s professional background is in academic psychology and psychotherapy, particularly Carl Rogers’ study of empathic listening, genuineness, unconditional positive regard and life’s “actualizing tendency” for growth and healing, and also Mahatma Gandhi’s life and work applying nonviolence to social change. John received his B.A. from the University of San Francisco, where he majored in studies of psychology and philosophy and played for their nationally ranked soccer team. He went on to receive an M.S. degree in clinical psychology from Penn State University, spending 5 years of doctoral training working as a psychotherapist with individuals and groups, and as a research assistant at the Penn State Stress and Anxiety Disorders Institute. After graduate school, John helped start and develop a small business in the gourmet food industry, and then went on start two NVC businesses. John lives with his wife and three children in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Throughout the training John will emphasize self-empathy and self-connection, along with his personal approach to conflict and mediation as a spiritual practice. “At a time of escalated tensions and unexpressed concerns, John's experience and inspirational style with NVC helped to facilitate a reconnection between the principles of the business. After the breakdown in communication, his skills helped create a stronger foundation of trust and empathy, where each person could be heard. This enabled us to move ahead into a creative dynamic process of strategies and goal setting for the company.” - Selma Aslin and Tehra Braren, business owner and company director Class Schedule: Prerequisites: Completed an intermediate level NVC and Mediation course with John Kinyon, or Ike Lasater, or Jim and Jori Manske.
