goosemas cacao jam

We're doing something special to pre-game for Goosemas this year...a Cacao Jam! Cacao Jams include everything you love about our beloved Conscious Pre-Games + a live music component during and after the ceremony. This jam will feature Goose fans Ryan Storm (keys) & Garrett Dorfman (guitar).

We will begin with our pre-show ritual - a cacao ceremony and meditation circle (led by Hannah & Kait) designed to help you shift into a heart-opened, grounded, and present state. Cacao produces heart-opening, energizing, playful, blissful, yet grounding and centering effects, making it an ideal pre-game substance to ease “pre-show jitters”, enhance the ability to connect with yourself & others, and become immersed in live music.

After we share our first few sips of cacao together, we will set intentions for the weekend. We will then move into a seated, guided meditation. After the meditation, we'll open the space for pulling an oracle card, journaling, and sharing (if you choose; silence is always welcome). Then we'll open the space up for more casual connection.

Ryan and Garrett will provide soft, ambient, soundscape music during the ceremony, letting their music build to become more prominent as the ceremony ends and the space opens up for connecting and hanging out. This is designed to give you space to bask in that post-ceremony buzz & extra time to connect with the Goose community, while enjoying some live music in a cozy environment.

We hope this event will empower you to enter the rest of the weekend with a greater sense of inner awareness, intention, presence, and connectedness. Hannah & Kait lead this same ritualistic pre-game for the band before they go on stage, providing the opportunity for band & fans to get on the same wavelength for the show.

No meditation or cacao experience is necessary. 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 2-3 hours before the event. For more information on how to prepare for a cacao ceremony and what to expect, please click here.

The Goosemas Cacao Jam will take place at Cardinal (in collaboration with Hayday Coffee) in Atlantic City (5 min from Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall).

Pre-registration is required! A limited number of tickets are available, including a select amount of discounted early bird tickets. For sold out events, please email hello@hannahandkait.com to be added to the waitlist.
