January 2018, Austin, TX
Space Jam!
Hosted and facilitated a creative space jam for adults to play, express, and be seen.  Intention was to access our deepest intelligence, that part of us that can only emerge when we truly let go.

January 2018, Austin, TX
Tea and Poetry
Hosted and facilitated an evening of tea and poetry at Guan Yin Tea House.  Participants shared poetry in turn, while we sat in a circle sipping tea and sharing our reflections and thoughts on the poems being spoken.  Intention of the space was to give people a chance to see first hand how their work was felt and interpreted by others.

Reviews from people I've worked with

​My experience working with Rob Jackson has been excellent.  Rob is a skilled facilitator who brings his heart, wisdom, warmth and compassion to everyone he is working with during a process. From supporting a community going through conflict to helping an organization develop a strategic plan, Rob asks the important questions and leads a group to discover healthy, informed outcomes.  He has exceptional interpersonal communication skills and works well with individuals as well as large groups.  I highly recommend working with Rob.

Leigh Hill
Board Co-Chair, Angelica Village
I am so grateful to Rob for the insightful card reading he gave us. I found the experience to be unexpectedly profound.  The information helped clarify some things and helped me deepen my sense of understanding of myself and my partner in my relationship. I highly recommend spending some time with Rob exploring his gifts and offerings.

Rob Jackson's The Witness is the most important poetry book I have ever purchased or read. It is a beautifully written exploration into eastern philosophy, life and art. His book can be seen as a modern day sequel to Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet except the spirituality comes from a Buddhist line of thinking rather than a Christian one. The book is divided consciously into stories of witnesses, elements of poetic thought and lastly the code for practical steps of interpretation and implementation.

I plan to gift this book to many friends; some who could appreciate the delicacy of the words, some who could appreciate the spirituality he discusses and others who seek answers; this book allows us to realize the answers that lie within us and helps to bring them out. I also plan to re-read this book many times in the future because, as with all great works of art, it requires constant re-visitation in order to find the truth that was missed on previous experiences.
