Clydesdale Unicorn (Jarrah Schmah)
Somatic Experiencing (SE) Psychotherapist | Mindfulness Facilitator | Mediator | Transpersonal Bodyworker
www.jarrah.cc
Clydesdale Unicorn is an insightful therapist who brings a comprehensive range of therapeutic modalities, including Somatic Experiencing (SE), mindfulness practices, Transpersonal bodywork and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to their practice.
As a Somatic Experiencing (SE) practitioner, Clydesdale understands the profound connection between the mind and body in processing and healing trauma.
Clydesdale’s sessions enable difficult feelings and overwhelm to dissolve, fostering clarity and a relaxed nervous system. With compassion and gentleness, Clydesdale guides clients in exploring emotions and memories safely, gradually deactivating blocked or frozen experiences.
Sessions with Clydesdale are an effective way to address trauma related to grief, anger, shame, anxiety or intimacy, empowering clients to address subconscious issues without the need for extensive disclosure of past traumas. Clydesdale’s approach allow disturbances in the nervous system to be integrated and “digested” in achievable amounts, to incrementally decrease trauma and contractions. Jarrah assists clients with respectful presence, allowing trauma and anxieties to naturally unwind and integrate, leading to emotional and behavioural shifts.
Mindfulness is a foundational aspect of Clydesdale’s therapeutic approach. Through mindfulness and awareness practices, Jarrah helps individuals cultivate a deeper connection with their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. With heightened self-awareness, clients develop a greater sense of clarity and inner peace, enabling them to navigate life’s challenges with a sense of groundedness and harmony.
Clydesdale is a longtime passionate advocate for Nonviolent Communication (NVC), recognising the transformative power of compassionate communication in fostering understanding and deepening connections. Using SE and NVC in mediation, Jarrah helps individuals and couples navigate conflict and disputes with empathy, paving the way for constructive resolution and strengthening bonds in relationships.
Clydesdale possesses a genuine ability to connect and create a safe and nurturing space for exploration and growth.
Outside therapeutic practice, Clydesdale leads a life of multifaceted pursuits as a musician and singer/songwriter, and enjoys walks in nature, dance meditation, gardening and protecting forests.

“Working with Jarrah has tapped into a side of me that has wanted to be acknowledged and released for decades. Their soothing presence and their calm, gentle way of being with me as I work through this process leaves me feeling safe and seen”.
“Jarrah’s approach is great. Comes from a place of healing, understanding and warmth. You feel comfortable and supported when talking about anything. The focus on the nervous system and NVC (Nonviolent Communication) really helped me, I am learning to be aware of those around me and to know when and how to engage others. Truly feeling like a better human for the time I have had with Jarrah.”

𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙮 – healing present and historical trauma
SE Therapy empowers individuals and couples to restore harmony by discharging stored energy from past traumas, fostering a deep sense of self-awareness and healing.
What is Somatic Experiencing Therapy?
Somatic Experiencing (SE) Therapy, developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine, is a gentle yet powerful therapeutic method designed to address the impacts of trauma and stress stored within the body. It recognises that overwhelming experiences can leave lasting imprints on our nervous system, leading to emotional and physical dysregulation. SE Therapy empowers individuals to restore harmony by discharging stored energy from past traumas, fostering a deep sense of self-awareness and healing.
How Does Somatic Experiencing Therapy Work?
In Somatic Experiencing Therapy, therapists guide you through a process of reconnecting with your body’s natural capacity for healing and self-regulation. Through gentle exploration of bodily sensations and responses, you learn to listen to the wisdom of your body and release lingering tension or unresolved emotions.
For individuals, Somatic Experiencing offers a path to healing from the effects of personal traumas, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. It helps you reconnect with your innate capacity for resilience, promoting emotional well-being and empowering you to live a more fulfilling life.
For couples, Somatic Experiencing Therapy becomes a catalyst for renewed connection and understanding. By addressing emotional triggers and patterns at their core, SE Therapy empowers couples to communicate more effectively, foster emotional intimacy, and rebuild trust.

Faerie Sex Magick
2022-10-22 - 2022-10-29 | NSW
Consider these questions . . .
How can I extend the limits of intimacy with my community?
Does sex constrain or expand my relationships with men?
How can I better integrate sexual play and my desires into my intimate relationships?

Does recreational sex diminish my capacity for intimacy in a committed relationship?

How does the prevailing society’s prudishness dampen and undermine the intimacy in my relationships?

How does my sexuality and my spirituality inter-relate?

Are my sexual and my spiritual aspects one in the same?

If any of these issues resonate with you, join us for a concentrated exploration and testing of the waters of deeper intimacy, Sex Magick, and spirit/sex integration. Based on the successful and provocative workshops developed by Harry Hay, this 7-day retreat is designed to challenge and take down the habits and patterns keeping us from achieving levels of intimacy not previously found.

2022-08-27 09:00 - 2022-08-28 09:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Faerieland, Wadeville, NSW, 2474, Australia
At winter solstice 2022 we started a huge land-care project: planting 500 native rainforest seedlings to restore the damage faerieland sustained from the recent floods.
Join us this weekend for the 3rd and final panting this wet winter season! There will be yummy food, groovy tunes and gorgeous magical beings for you to connect with. We will head out into the field at 9am, so arrive early Saturday morning or the night before!
After we finish the winter planting we will take a moment over dinner to look forward to spring and begin preparing for our annual Glitterball. This years theme will be: GOBLYN.
If you are interested in performing, DJing, creating decor, stage management, lighting design or are just keen to help out and get amongst it, this is a great opportunity to connect in person and collectively conjure up this fun community event. Including deciding on what the glitterball ball will be fundraising for. Perhaps this will be the birth of a faerie arts collective??

Rebirth: Winter Solstice 2022
2022-06-27 - 2022-06-30 | Faerieland, Wadeville, NSW, 2474, Australia
As the spring flows, the land swells and lurches. The liquified earth spills onto the moon meadow and weeds compete to colonise new niches. The Monkey Terrace now features multiple levels, the ridge road is impassable and dams overflowing with mud have collapsed.
The ground is not all that is in flux at Faerieland. With the last of the founding members departing, Griffyn and Chameleon put out a call for new energy, and five members of the broader community have recently moved in. Spryte, Puck, Colours, Cyrhs and I (Tellurian).
We spend our days tending the gardens and land, dispelling stale energy from forgotten corners and most importantly, connecting with each other. We are energised and excited to rediscover what it means to be Fae and to shine this beacon of light across the queer community.
Each of us brings unique gifts that combined and invested here will build on the last 20 years of culture. There is an invitation implicit in that. And a welcome. With the support of the Teacosy, Seamus, Griffyn and Chameleon we are empowering ourselves to ignite this Sanctuary into blazing life.
All seemed to be elated by hope following our first ‘official’ meeting recently. Beyond sharing our own joys, vulnerabilities and challenges, we discussed the option of organising ourselves with a Sociocratic community structure and using a Consent Decision Making process in place of the old consensus model.
Hopefully these tools will enable us to cohesively move towards our common vision which, incidentally, we have been brainstorming too. What is our purpose here? What are our shared values?
Here’s some of what we have at this point in our journey together: We are stewards of the land. We are custodians of Radical Faerie culture. We are activists. We are radical. We honour the Sacred Silly (praise be).
After all was said and done at the rebirth meeting, we drank homemade cherry wine by firelight and dreamt up all the future possibilities. A sauna; a kitchen renovation; a flock of geese; and a calendar of vibrant art and culture.
Perhaps we’ll start by inviting you all here to a Winter Solstice Gathering. It might be an opportunity for crowdsourced answers to some of our biggest questions.
What does Radical Faerie mean to you?
What can this Sanctuary offer you?
