goose conscious pre-game: goosemas

Our primary intention for this event is to hold space for members of the Goose community to connect with one another on a deeper level. We also hope to empower you to enter the night with a greater sense of inner awareness, intention, and presence.

We will begin with a seated, guided meditation, which will allow us to first connect with ourselves and settle into a space of gratitude, calm, and openness. We will then move into the cacao ceremony, where we'll let cacao open our hearts and fill us with energy and bliss. After we share our first few sips together, we will set intentions for the night. We will then open the space up for sharing (if you choose; silence is always welcome). No meditation or cacao experience is necessary. Learn more about the conscious pre-game here.

This event will take place in the lot of the Hampton Coliseum. We will be outside and seated for the majority of the time. Please wear appropriate clothing (layers are best) and bring water. For the ceremony, we will provide cushions to sit on, but please bring anything you may specifically need to feel comfortable sitting on the ground (chairs are also welcome if that's better for you!). Feel free to also bring a journal, yoga mat, or anything else you may wish to use after the ceremony to capture any thoughts, emotions, or energies that arise.

It is easiest to connect with the spirit of cacao on an empty stomach and in the absence of other substances (caffeine, alcohol, marijuana, etc). We recommend fasting for at least 2-3 hours before the event. For more information on how to prepare for a cacao ceremony and what to expect, please click here.

Please contact us ahead of time with any food allergies, if you are taking any prescription medications, including (but not limited to) antidepressant, cardiac, or blood pressure medications, and/or are pregnant or breastfeeding, so we can discuss modifying your cacao dose.
