Alex Lasarev
In 2009 I had my first genuine spiritual awakening. Over the next decade, through a series of reality-shattering experiences, I realised something that changed everything: the fear, the grasping, the need to perform, the inability to just be - all of it stems from one fundamental misunderstanding of what we actually are.
We are not separate beings competing for scraps of love, money, and validation. We are expressions of the same one consciousness, temporarily wearing human suits, here to remember our nature and use our unique gifts in service to each other.
I know how that sounds. I also know it's true — not as a belief, but as a direct lived realisation.
What I do now is bring all of it together.
For men who are ready:
I help smart, successful men stop wasting time on dating apps, overcome their fear of rejection, and start showing up fearlessly in the real world — through proven daygame methodology, deep personal development, and the inner work that makes it all stick. The external results are real. But the transformation that lasts is always an inside job.
Laurelle K.
Laurelle K. is a singer-songwriter whose profound passion for crafting meaningful music has evolved through various stages over the years. From eagerly joining every choir available to embarking on a journey as a singer-songwriter, and later forming a trio of troubadours with The Red Deers, Laurelle's musical odyssey has been rich and diverse. Notably, she recorded and toured with Alberta's folk music luminary, Bill Bourne, and established longstanding collaborations with bass player Carl Stretton (C-note) and guitarist-songwriter Adam Kidd along with recently joining the soul choir group AV & the Inner City. Her musical expression effortlessly merges folk, jazz, and soul influences into a contemporary yet timeless sound.
Ruth Purves Smith
Ruth Purves-Smith often writes songs about the downtrodden and the destitute—good folks on the wrong side of privilege. Take the title track of her new album, Piano in the Field, which tells the story of a homeless woman living on a skiff of land at the edge of the road near Purves-Smith’s rural Alberta hamlet. The woman moved her son and worldly belongings to the field and then lost them one-by-one. First the boy, then her pickup truck and finally—when she herself moved on—the piano was left out to pasture. She just couldn’t get out from under what life had thrown her, a familiar theme in Purves-Smith’s music.
Purves-Smith grew up dividing her time between the city, the ranch and her family’s 100-year old woolen mill in the sticks. Her parents were 70s back-to-the-land bohemians who would collect lichen in the woods and dye fleece in the bathtub before buying the old wool factory. They lived in a train station turned house that they had bought from the province for a dollar. She grew up wild, spending a lot of time alone on the land: building forts in the willow trees, playing in the mud, learning bushcraft and wrangling horses. She often felt so much a part of the natural world that she would forget how to use language altogether. But it would all come back in the evenings as she listened to her parents sing and play guitar by the fireside, her dad’s tenor voice entwining with her step-mom’s birdlike falsetto.
