The breath is everything - it occurs both consciously and unconsciously. When you bring your awareness to it and breathe with intention – big things happen. Somatic breathwork invigorates the body, mind and spirit.
As you bring this up-regulating breath of life through your vessel, you explore all parts of yourself.
When you breathe in this way, your nervous system becomes awakened.
This results in the ability to access old stories and emotions that have been held deep down in the body and fascia.
This is why during breathwork you can experience an array of emotions from anger, sadness and grief, to joy and bliss.
It can also present physically, such as temperature changes, shaking, yawning and even cramping. (*cramping can also be caused by fluctuations in blood chemistry).
By activating your internal systems through the breath (blood, lymph, organs, nervous system, vagus nerve, CNS, fascial network) – you help move and liberate stagnant and blocked energy.
This results in flow, peace, increased space and capacity, coherence and harmony within these systems, your body, your energy, and your Self.
Sounds are encouraged here -- and space is made specifically for that as it helps to tone the Vagus nerve and to move energy as well
All sounds and emotions are welcome - all parts of YOU are welcome.
Cacao is the plant medicine offering for this ritual. I have been serving this beautiful heart-opening elixir because of its wondrous 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 infinite Universe). Thus, having the heart open allows us to be able to access this higher information.
ITEMS TO BRING:
- Yoga mat / "nesting" comfort (limited mats & pillows in studio)
- Water bottle (cup will be provided for cacao)
- Light blanket (recommended)
- Meditation cushion (optional)
- Eye covering (recommended)
- Journal & writing instrument (important integration tool)
- Open mind and heart
- Your beautiful self.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION about the event will be included in the TICKET CONFIRMATION EMAIL.

Reflections from the last Breathe ceremony:
"When someone (Matty) can make you feel like you are floating simply through breathwork, that's magical.
If you wish to experience ecstacy without any subscatnces, do this breathwork!"
— Bahram
"I have been to many breathwork practices of all types, and my experience of Matty’s leadership is of the absolute highest quality. He sets the container impeccably, both spiritually and practically. The cacao and micro are lovely offerings to amplify the field before he guides the breathwork practice from multiple orientations (not just conscious connected breath). The sequence is an intelligent weaving through the body that taps into various energetic channels along the way. The Matty offers sound and vibration through the process touches the emotional body with enough support and spaciousness to let go. His presence is steadily attuned and his care is genuine. I cannot say enough lovely things about this gifted human and his commitment to holding sacred space.
If you’re looking for a guided group breathwork practice that goes beyond breath instruction, and even beyond sound… come! This practice is a true ceremony that is working the energy body and collective field in ways that are palpable."
— Nicole
"I had only heard about breath work in social media and from a podcast before and was curious. Matty made the whole attendees feel at ease and gave his background and experience and expertise in guidance through the process. You could feel the energy and impact it had on trusting him in this very first experience for me.
Come with an open heart and grateful mind to feel connected to all the souls in the event. It was totally enlightening."

Meet your Guide:
Matty Ryce is a spiritual mentor, ceremonialist, energy worker, and DJ devoted to helping people awaken to the Truth of the Heart.
With decades of experience in music and facilitation, he intuitively weaves sound and wisdom into transformative journeys that align and heal the mind, body & soul.
Through workshops, ceremonies, and ecstatic dance, Matty supports participants in connecting to the Self, one another, Spirit and the Earth - cultivating greater awareness, presence, balance, and embodied living.
Holding Space is such a crucial part of this work.
Be it in ceremony, an event, or coaching container — holding space is about creating AND maintaining an environment conducive for participants greatest and highest good.
As a Facilitator, it requires doing the inner work – before AND in real-time, in order to uphold the integrity of the container.
Integrity includes honouring higher Truth, while understanding and respecting the role, power (dynamics), and influence one has as facilitator-leader.
Integrity results in safety,
safety leads to surrender,
surrender allows for receptivity
(this is where the magic happens).
It is an honour and a privilege to be entrusted to serve in this way,
and this is the work that I am devoted to.
MATTY
