Briellen McAlpine Breathwork · Healing Radical Embodied Breathwork & Movement, helping you come to life with the clarity, vitality & confidence that comes with being naturally yourself

Overwhelm, disconnection, trauma - the more our world turns the more we are experiencing these as our everyday. Life without a guidebook has plenty of challenges - especially if your more of a square peg in a round hole/ black sheep type person like me. If there is one driving force behind my own practice and exploring, it is looking for ways to understand myself more deeply, and build for myself a sense of being comfortable in my body and this world. My classes and private offerings encompass an eclectic range of connected breathwork, specialty yoga, meditation and healing practices that support you to explore and experience the juice - the Rasa - in your life in a 'real world' way. To be more at home and comfortable in your body, to engage with life more fully, to have a sense of your own personal meaning and purpose. Together, we cultivate equal attention to the physical, spiritual and mental aspects of practice and you, while we explore and strengthen their interconnected-ness. Experience being in your body and being yourself in healthy authentic ways that address, heal and integrate the tough spots, the beauty, the strengths and the challenges that make up 'you' ... all cultivated with deep honesty, an expansive heart and fun - it's nothing in my books if its all serious :)

Surprise? no, no surprise to us… well perhaps that a study was needed to see this 😆🥰

There is very little that is healthy or natural about living in a big city, it primarily serves commerce and convenience at the expense of wellbeing. Now, a new study tells us more.

Many people sense intuitively: humans were not designed for the relentless pace and stimulation of modern life. Published in Biological Reviews, the a new study argues that our physiology is still calibrated for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, one built around frequent movement, short-lived stress, and a deep, ongoing relationship with the natural world.

In contrast, the past few centuries of industrialization have immersed us in noise, artificial light, polluted air, microplastics, pesticides, processed foods, and nonstop digital stimulation. Our stress systems are firing the same way they did for our ancestors, but without the natural rhythms of rest and recovery that once balanced them.

The researchers highlight declining fertility rates and the rise of chronic inflammatory illnesses as signs that this evolutionary mismatch is affecting our health. Their conclusion is simple and urgent: if we want to truly thrive, we need to rebuild our environments and daily lives in ways that bring us back into alignment with nature rather than pushing us further away from it.

My kind of hero - let the land breathe 😍💚✨…. I love our long grass!

My kind of hero - let the land breathe 😍💚✨
…. I love our long grass!

People called him a fool. A disgrace to his heritage. Even a “waster.” But Randal Plunkett—death metal fan, vegan, and the 21st Baron of Dunsany—didn’t care.

Seven years ago, the Irish nobleman made a radical decision: to let 300 hectares of his 650-hectare estate return to nature. No more livestock. No mowing, planting, or weeding. Just wild, unmanaged land.

And while critics scoffed, nature roared back to life.

Where there were once only three types of grass, there are now 23. Birds carried seeds, trees regenerated on their own—oak, ash, beech, black poplar. Insects swarmed in, followed by barn owls, sparrowhawks, even rare corncrakes.

“I didn’t plant them,” says Plunkett. “The birds did.”

He’s seen stoats, heard reports of red squirrels, and drawn botanists from Trinity College to study the revival. Dunsany is now Ireland’s first private rewilding site to join the European Rewilding Network.

But it hasn’t been easy. Poachers. Hunters. Online threats. People outraged that a castle-owning baron would “let it all go to weeds.”

“We’re great at preserving culture in Ireland,” Plunkett says. “But terrible at protecting nature.”

Once a bodybuilding, steak-eating aristocrat, he’s now a fierce defender of the wild—running off hunters, braving backlash, and standing firm.

And he’s not doing it for money. The estate survives through tillage farming and film production. The wild makes no profit. It simply lives.

As the climate crisis accelerates and species vanish, Plunkett’s stand is more than rebellion. It’s a reminder: sometimes the bravest thing you can do is nothing at all.

Let the land breathe. Let it remember what it once was. And maybe, let it teach us who we could be again.

In the Circle of Life - Theatrical Screenings ✨

We’re honored to bring In the Circle of Life to the big screen, where songlines, ceremony, and Country can be felt together, in shared breath and presence.

These theatrical screenings invite communities to gather, listen, and witness the living wisdom of First Nations Elders, healers, and artists from across the continent now called Australia. Seen in a cinema, the film becomes more than a story, it becomes a communal experience, a moment to reckon with shared histories and remember our place within the circle of life.

Join us in theatres as we celebrate culture, resilience, and the enduring relationship between people and Country.

SOMETIMES

Sometimes
if you move carefully
through the forest,

breathing
like the ones
in the old stories,

who could cross
a shimmering bed
of leaves
without a sound,

you come
to a place
whose only task

is to trouble you
with tiny
but frightening
requests,

conceived out
of nowhere
but in this place
beginning
to lead everywhere.

Requests to stop what
you are doing right now,
and

to stop what you
are becoming
while you do it,

questions
that can make
or unmake
a life,

questions
that have patiently
waited for you,

questions
that have no right
to go away.



SOMETIMES
In ‘David Whyte : Essentials’
Many Rivers Press. January 2020



An early morning chatty drive through the Cotswolds had my companion and I suddenly plunged into silence as we found ourselves on a narrow, twisting road through woodland: all shrouded with a poignant, pervasive and sun saturated mist. I pulled over without a word and in a quiet and mutual understanding, we both got out of the vehicle and walked in opposite directions into the woods. Far into those woods I found myself reciting this piece and then stopping in some wonder to take this photo. Questions that had no right to go away, were inviting me deeper and deeper into the quiet presence of that morning and if I remember, a certain crucial decision that I then resolved about my future.. 'Sometimes'... DW

An improptu photo shoot out at the Li'l Breathing House this morning.. a stroll across the grass and our mother rock (the huge one that we live upon - in our house, with a f*& huge rock beneath us) and there she is - cute, cosy, bathed in nature...
