**This is the (almost) 80-minute live DJ set recording from the Ecstatic Dance portion of this Root.Rise.Release New Moon Breath & Dance Ritual from the end of December that celebrated the Capricorn new moon and my 45th solar return.This very special moon ritual is a larger gathering with a cacao ceremony, astrology & energetic transmissions, somatic breathwork, leading into an ecstatic dance journey, meditation, and followed by a potluck social to close out the event.Cacao is the plant medicine offering for this ritual. I have been serving this beautiful heart-opening elixir because of its magical effect combined with my teaching of the Universal Law of Shen-Qi-Jing - whereby the heart is the gateway/portal in which we receive the highest truth and infinite wisdom from our Soul (a fractal of the Universe). Thus, having the heart open allows us to be able to access this higher information.The BREATH is everything; it happens both consciously and unconsciously. When we bring our awareness to it and breathe with intention - big things can happen. Somatic breathwork invigorates the body, mind and spirit as we bring this up-regulating breath of life through our bodies, exploring all parts of us. When we breathe in this way, our nervous system becomes awakened which results in the ability to access stagnant energy and emotions that have been stored deep down in the body. This can present physically such as temperature changes, shaking, yawning and cramping (which can also be caused by the fluctuation of our blood chemistry). We can also experience an array of emotional experiences from anger, sadness and grief to joy and bliss. Sounds are encouraged and space is made specifically for that as it helps to tone the Vagus nerve and to move energy. All of the sounds and emotions are welcome - all parts of YOU are welcome.Dance is another potent form of medicine to heal the mind, body and soul as physical movement aids in transmuting (stuck and or stagnant) energy held within us. My ethos with how I guide ecstatic dance is through the chakra system, from root to crown; the music is to activate these different parts of us and help move the energy through our being. I mindfully guide us from the breathwork into slow and gentle movement as we build the energy back up during our dance. My "job" is to move us from stillness up to peak states and back down again, allowing for wild expansion and returning to a grounded and harmonious state.The process is magic, and when everyone in this large group allows their energy to flow, it is an unbelievable experience. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of it and to be serving in this way.The energy of the New (Black) Moon was at its peak on Monday, December 30th at around 5:30 PM (ET) and is present for 2-3 days on each side of this point.My next event coming up is New Years Eve with the Chocolate Groove at the Church of Holy Trinity in downtown Toronto.For information & tickets:https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/chocolate-groove-new-years-eve-2024-an-intentional-nye-journey-tickets-1085379582549Follow me for the latest updates:https://linktr.ee/MattyRyceSending so much love your way for 2025.

** This is the live DJ set recording from the Ecstatic Dance portion of this "Root.Rise.Release" Full Moon Breath & Dance Ritual from March.Runtime: approx 85 minutes.The next instalment of this epic Root.Rise.Release: Breath & Dance Ritual is coming up in Toronto on FRIDAY, MAY 17th.For information & tickets:https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rootriserelease-breath-dance-ritual-tickets-890082028307?aff=oddtdtcreatorThis notable moon ritual was a larger gathering with Tao blessings/energetic transmissions, cacao ceremony, discussion about astrology & current themes, and an hour of somatic breathwork, which all lead into an ecstatic dance journey (DJ'ed by yours truly) to move some energy and celebrate the full moon, the new season, new astrological/energetic year, community and life! A social and light potluck rounded out the event.The process is incredible, and when everyone in this large group allows their magic to flow, it is an unbelievable experience. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of it and to be serving in this way.Cacao is the plant medicine offering for this ritual. I have been serving this beautiful heart-opening elixir because of my understanding that the heart is the gateway/portal in which we receive the highest truth and infinite wisdom from our Soul (or universe). Thus, having the heart open helps us to be able to access this information.The BREATH is everything, it happens both consciously and unconsciously. When we bring our awareness to it and breathe with intention - big things can happen. Somatic breathwork invigorates the body, mind and spirit as we bring this up-regulating breath of life through our bodies, exploring all parts of us. When we breathe in this way, our nervous system becomes awakened which results in the ability to access stagnant energy and emotions that have been stored deep down in the body. This can present physically such as temperature changes, shaking, yawning and cramping (which can also be caused by the fluctuation of our blood chemistry). We can also experience an array of emotional experiences from anger, sadness and grief to joy and bliss. Sounds are encouraged and space is made specifically for that as it helps to tone the Vagus nerve and to move energy. All of the sounds and emotions are welcome - all parts of YOU are welcome.Dance is another potent form of medicine to heal the mind, body and soul as physical movement aids in transmuting (stuck and or stagnant) energy held within us. My ethos with how I guide ecstatic dance is through the chakra system, from root to crown; the music is to activate these different parts of us and help move the energy through our being. I mindfully guide us from the breathwork into slow and gentle movement as we build the energy back up during our dance. My "job" is to move us from stillness up to peak states and back down again, allowing for wild expansion and returning to a grounded and harmonious state.Follow me for the latest updates:https://linktr.ee/MattyRyce

** This is the live DJ set recording from the Ecstatic Dance portion of this "Root.Rise.Release" Full Moon Breath & Dance Ritual from the end of December that celebrated my 44th solar return.This notable moon ritual is a larger gathering with Tao blessings/energetic transmissions, cacao ceremony, brief discussion about astrology & current themes, and an hour of somatic breathwork, which all lead into an ecstatic dance journey (DJ'ed by yours truly) to move some energy and celebrate the full moon, the new season, new astrological/energetic year, community and life! A social and light potluck will round out the event.Cacao is the plant medicine offering for this ritual. I have been serving this beautiful heart-opening elixir because of my understanding that the heart is the gateway/portal in which we receive the highest truth and infinite wisdom from our Soul (or universe). Thus, having the heart open helps us to be able to access this information.The BREATH is everything, it happens both consciously and unconsciously. When we bring our awareness to it and breathe with intention - big things can happen. Somatic breathwork invigorates the body, mind and spirit as we bring this up-regulating breath of life through our bodies, exploring all parts of us. When we breathe in this way, our nervous system becomes awakened which results in the ability to access stagnant energy and emotions that have been stored deep down in the body. This can present physically such as temperature changes, shaking, yawning and cramping (which can also be caused by the fluctuation of our blood chemistry). We can also experience an array of emotional experiences from anger, sadness and grief to joy and bliss. Sounds are encouraged and space is made specifically for that as it helps to tone the Vagus nerve and to move energy. All of the sounds and emotions are welcome - all parts of YOU are welcome.Dance is another powerful and potent form of medicine to heal the mind, body and soul as physical movement aids in transmuting (stuck and or stagnant) energy held within us. My ethos with how I guide ecstatic dance is through the chakra system, from root to crown; the music is to activate these different parts of us and help move the energy through our being. I mindfully guide us from the breathwork into slow and gentle movement as we build the energy back up during our dance. My "job" is to move us from stillness up to peak states and back down again, allowing for wild expansion and returning to a grounded and harmonious state.The process is magic, and when everyone in this large group allows their magic to flow, it is an unbelievable experience. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of it and to be serving in this way.The next instalment of this epic ritual is coming up in Toronto on Wednesday, March 27th for the Libra Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse - the first lunation into this new astrological year.For information & tickets:https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rootriserelease-full-moon-breath-dance-ritual-tickets-867283276627?aff=oddtdtcreatorand check out:https://www.instagram.com/reel/C461JjlNtMy/?igsh=N3UxNHAxcmdoMzJtFollow me for the latest updates:https://linktr.ee/MattyRyce
