gojackrabbit events
gojackrabbit has a passion and flair for bringing groups together around interesting, potent, soulful, novel and exciting subjects. Whether a small gathering to explore an issue, a team building day or a three week expedition to India with a group of like minded women. Whatever we do, the underlying intention is either literal or metaphorical movement!
Events include:
Ayurvedic experience & tour of South India.
Thinking of exploring this amazing part of our world and don't know where to start? Then, I thoroughly recommend Vicky's Ayurveda Experience and Tour of South India.
Week 1: Rest and reset at a beach holiday in Kovalam.
Week 2: Full board in comfortable accommodation. Tour some of the lushest and beautiful areas in Kerala.
Week 3: Relax in a beautiful retreat, with daily outdoor Yoga and Ayurvedic treatments.
Death Circle; conversations about loss, dying & death
Are you a person who craves a space where you can explore this often taboo subject? Vicky Gaughan & Lynx Cannon view death as a natural event that is part of life. Through dedicated time using heartfelt sharing, you can move into a more conscious life with death as your ally.
How to Become a Trauma Savvy Practitioner
This course is based mainly on Deb Dana & Stephen Porges’ work on the Polyvagal Theory plus other trauma savvy experts.
Polyvagal theory tells us that being under chronic threat has a direct impact on our body and our mind. When we meet a stressor, known or unknown, it takes us out of loving connection with ourselves and others and into either shutdown or fight/flight. Moving from a loving connection to one of the other fearful states is called dysregulation, but it is not a state that is ‘wrong’. It is not wrong to protect yourself when you sense that you are not feeling safe, it is necessary for survival. Shifting states is a protective and sophisticated dance and like any dance, it’s good to know the steps well.

Closing circle
‘I believe that by hiding death and dying behind closed doors we do more harm than good to our society. I will offer participants the experience of connecting with their mortality and the inevitability of their death. It is possible to transform negative associations like dread and fear into accepting the reality that one day we will die and therefore releasing ourselves to live more fully... until the time comes’.

Online Hakomi Workshops
One day & two day trainings online focusing on various themes
Current theme is Trauma
As a practice, Hakomi helps us to slow down. All Hakomi trainings focus on how to create, sustain and deepen a compassionate state of mind, and to practice this while relating to others and ourselves, discovering how to look for what is nourishing, rather than what is wrong. We do this through a series of exercises that encourage this assisted self study, based on the Hakomi method.
​
All offerings are facilitated in an experiential way, with opportunities for individual, whole group and small group activities. Trainings offer greater depth of exploration and use of the method with experienced Hakomi trainers. You do not need any prior knowledge or experience of Hakomi and it is open to anyone willing to explore a mindful approach to self-understanding.
​
Your Facilitators: Vicky Gaughan has over thirty years in professional practice and over sixty years of human being practice. Jamie Fearn has over twenty years’ experience in education practice and ten years of Hakomi.
In person Hakomi Weekends
The weekends are made up of experiential Hakomi practices, working as a whole group, in small groups and individually with spacious breaks.

You do not need any prior knowledge or experience of Hakomi and it is open to anyone willing to explore a mindful approach to self-understanding.
