A Bit About Jo
Jo Nygard Owens is an ordained minister in the PC(USA), coach-in-training, speaker, creative, consultant, and teacher. Jo received training in Conscious Facilitation through the Second Breath Center (now Kinward) and believes that great outer work—how we show up in the world—comes from deep inner work. For the last 15 years, Jo has focused her ministry in the areas of Christian formation, community building, and digital ministry—sometimes all three at once.
Jo lives in Cleveland, OH (USA) with her husband BJ who is an Episcopal priest, and their two teenage children. Their household is filled with laughter, good food, and far too many books.
