SOMETHING DIFFERENT:

 

Dress-ups: If you follow the @yamamovement insta, you will know that we love dress-ups. On all our trips, we encourage our guests to play dress-ups. Please pack a funky little outfit that's not too big and bulky and fits the theme of radical self-expression. Bring your own artistic style, maybe colour & brightness, black & darkness, cross-dressing or animal embodiment. Whatever suits your vibe. Perhaps you have always felt like a unicorn, and that's what you want to embody, so release your inner unicorn. Be bold, be fun and be free to express yourself through costume.
