Resonance Restival 2020

SponsorSHIP PROPOSAL

OmTara seeks sponsors to support

the greater Inclusion of People of Color at Resonance Restival 2020

OmTara Events is producing the 4th annual Resonance Restival from June 26th to 28th, on beautiful land outside Toledo, WA. Restival is a family-friendly and inclusive event of up to 400 people. At Restival we create and hold a safe space for people of all backgrounds to learn, play and grow as we deepen our knowledge and practice of mindful yoga, meditation and movement.

Your sponsorship donations will provide scholarships for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous & People of Color) to attend the Restival who may not otherwise participate. Sponsorships will also provide the ability to book well-known conscious music artists of color to perform on the Restival main stage, serving as a major draw for people of color to attend the event.

Yoga, meditation, mindfulness & conscious movement practices are often perceived as an area of modern culture that is dominated by white people in America. Music & Yoga Festival culture in the US is ripe for opening up to greater inclusivity of people of color. From our own experience, the Restival is incredibly richer when our featured artists and participants are from more diverse backgrounds.

At the same time, attracting well-known artists of color to perform requires funding and outreach. Also, sustained outreach to communities of color to attend these events requires funding. Scholarships are necessary so that people have opportunities to attend at low or no cost as a way to confirm that this festival gathering is a safe, welcoming and nourishing space for people of color. Once that knowledge is shared in the community, then people of color can make a more comfortable choice to attend these types of events.

In 2019, Restival had its most diverse teacher/facilitator & artist contingent yet, featuring many diverse cultural backgrounds and teachers/artists of color.

We extended deep ticket discounts to BIPOC and held yoga classes exclusively for BIPOC taught by experienced teachers of color. In 2020, we wish to take our inclusivity to the next level with sponsored scholarship tickets for BIPOC and by featuring well-known conscious music artists of color on our main stage.
