YAM Fest

What: Outdoor festival celebrating yoga, arts, and music
Hosted by: Lost Hill Lake Events
When: Friday May 14 - Sunday May 16 2021

Adventure Tribe Retreats is bringing its love for community, yoga, arts, and music together with YAM Fest.

Adventure Tribe Retreats is delighted to announce our first Yoga Arts & Music Festival, a.k.a. YAM Fest! YAM Fest will feature artists, musicians, yoga teachers, and other practitioners of the healing arts for a weekend of fun and relaxation. During YAM Fest you will have many chances to connect with nature, build friendships, indulge in delicious food, and try new experiences.

Buy your tickets today for a chance to rekindle (or create) your connection with nature, plant-based foods, our spirited community, and yourself.

We invite you to unwind, try something new, and come PLAY with us in a 50-year-old, shaded walnut grove alongside the Meramec River in St. Clair, Missouri. The beautiful Lost Hill Lake Events (LHLE) venue offers private access to the river, views of golden hay fields, gentle hills, scenic lookouts, a shaded mature walnut grove, and natural sanctuary from the stressors of everyday life. We are excited to bring this unique event to our beloved homebase and share the magic that is Lost Hill Lake with others.

Yoga

YAM Fest will offer up to seven yoga classes and healing arts workshops each day. Whether you have practiced for years or have never stepped foot on a mat - you are welcome! Our mantra is ‘yoga for everyone’ so it doesn't matter if you like it fast, slow, power, restorative, hatha, kundalini, partner, or have no idea what those fancy yoga words mean - we’ve got you covered!

Arts

We love artists! At YAM Fest we want to share and enjoy all things artistic and creative! Visual arts, healing arts, natural art, etc. - it’s all art and it’s all beautiful. Enjoy opportunities to view and purchase beautiful creations as well as chances to participate in artist workshops where you can create your own masterpiece!

Music

What’s a festival without good music? I am sure you can tell by now that we like to let loose and have a great time. Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday morning we will have live music at the Riverside Stage with plenty of room to move on the dance floor. If you are a musician, bring your instruments and join the bonfire jam session Friday night or create your own around your campsite with your new YAM Fest friends.

Nature

One thing that makes Lost Hill Lake Events the perfect venue for YAM Fest is its picturesque geography and the short, one-hour drive from STL. Located right on the Meramec River, the LHLE property is 200+ acres of gorgeous farmland, rolling hills, a private lake, shaded walnut grove, secluded hiking trails, and private river access. We encourage you to turn off your phone and immerse yourself in the beauty of the property. There are great chances to view wildlife during the day and to enjoy the sounds of nature as you fall asleep in your tent without all the city traffic or noisy neighbors.

Food

At Adventure Tribe Retreats we appreciate foods that nourish the mind, body and soul and believe a vegetarian and vegan lifestyle do that best! Sustainability is one of our core values and we are committed to creating a better planet for all living beings. We are excited to announce that YAM FEST vendors will ALL serve vegetarian and vegan food options throughout the weekend. Additionally, YAM FEST vendors are required to serve food on compostable serving trays with compostable utensils.

Community

We're not just hosting a weekend of fun; we are building a tribe! When you participate in an Adventure Tribe Retreats event we know that you will be kind, courteous, and respectful of others and the space we share. Clean up after yourself, and if your friend drops a wrapper, pick up after them, too. Also, remember that this space is gorgeous and we want to keep it that way so we have a leave no trace policy. Everything you bring for camping needs to go home with you. With that being said, let’s have each other’s backs, have some fun and create one awesome and happy YAM Fest!

Masks:

• Please keep a mask with you at ALL TIMES. Just like your wallet or water bottle, your mask should be part of your festival gear that stays with you.

• Masks are required at the gate - this includes check in and any time you visit the gate to ask questions or speak to our fabulous volunteers.

• You may NOT enter YAM Fest without each person in your vehicle wearing a mask.

• Masks are required anytime 6ft social distancing is not possible. (ex. Workshops under the Riverside Pavilion, Lakeside Gazebo, Kid Zone tents, etc.)

Sanitation:

• There will be extra handwashing stations throughout the venue. Please PLEASE please wash your hands often!

• Adventure Tribe Retreats and our volunteers will prioritize cleaning all hard surfaces and shared spaces.

• Please bring your own hand sanitizer and mat cleaner to keep yourself and your belongings germ-free throughout the weekend.

Social Distancing:

• We love hugs, dancing close, and snuggling up with our besties but at this event we ask that you please use your judgment and stay socially distanced. Gaze into your friends beautiful eyes from a safe 6ft distance. ;)

• Camping areas will be spaced out to allow for plenty of room between parties.

• If you would like to camp near your social bubble consider purchasing Thursday early bird camping spots to get there and set up before the crowds.

• We are hosting live music in the walnut grove this year. We have plenty of space to spread out and dance around. If you are in close proximity with others, PLEASE WEAR YOUR MASK!

Take care of each other:

We know everyone has different opinions about how to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. YOU MATTER TO US! We want all of you to be safe, courteous, and prepared because we love you. If you don’t think you can comply with these rules, please stay home and consider joining us for YAM Fest next year.

Respect other’s personal space and requests for distance.

Wash your hands often.
