The project known as 'Revival' is a creative outpouring by folk artist Ru Rose. Revival showcases a deeply sincere full length conceptual debut album of 12 original sacred folk songs recorded Live-Off-The-Forest-Floor in the mountains of the unceded and ancestral territories of the Sinixt and Ktunaxa nations, also known as the Kootenays of British Columbia. Interwoven with the songs of the album is a series of 12 intricate paintings created with hand-made inks, dyes and paints.
With deep gratitude for the support of Creative BC and the Province of British Columbia in making this creation possible
----------
More About the Artist / Album:
Ru Rose sings, catches songs, and plays acoustic guitar, shruti box, and native drum to accompany her voice within the Sinixt tum-ula7xw of British Columbia. She is a devoted mother to a son & daughter, an off-grid mountain homesteader, an intricate esoteric artist, a contemplative writer of existential seasonal musings, and a re-wilding Creatrix inspired by growing regenerative culture. Ru shares her intimate journey of creating, homesteading, and cyclical living as a woman and mother upon a mountain with community on Patreon.
With love for the Creative and the rhythms of the seasons, and life as ceremony, the album ‘Revival’ was recorded outdoors live-off-the-forest-floor to the tuning of 432Hz. With each song of the album recorded, Ru was either pregnant or had her infant daughter sleeping upon her. Her devoted partner Kai Cabodyna helped hold the fruition with sound recording, videography, instrumentation of drum, bass, and banjo, and holding roles of father and partner. Their talented son would add steadiness with a drum and the sweetness of his voice, while musical friends would accompany this muse upon violin, native flute, strings and support vocals.. as well as the birds, insects, squirrels and elementals weaving in their magic of the moment.
The songs that Ru has midwifed into this world are a prayer for this Earth, they hold her grief and her praise and encompass the grounded and initiatory journey of building a house and homestead from the ground up. The songs of Ru Rose are a precious treasure, a somatic experience and call to be shared for the future generations to come. Her haunting, quivering, mountain-folk voice and visionary lyrics call you to remember, and to come home to this sacred Earth.

SROAMazing Race

Time Travelers Unite for the SROAMazing Race at Whitewater

NELSON—Dig out the vintage onesies, neon windbreakers and Y2K tracksuits, Whitewater Ski Resort is taking a trip back in time for the annual SROAMazing Race.

Hosted by students in the Ski Resort Operations & Management (SROAM) Program at Selkirk College, the SROAMazing Race will take place on March 21 at Whitewater Ski Resort, bringing together teams of four competitors for an afternoon of fun on the mountain. Whether you’re a family looking for a day filled with adventures or a group of friends ready to compete, the retro-themed race is filled with exciting challenges and awesome prizes.

The event starts with registration at 12 pm at the Whitewater base area, followed by the race start at 1 pm. Teams will compete until 3 pm, finishing the day with prizes and a raffle at 3:30 pm.

“The SROAMazing Race is all about having fun, getting creative and bringing people together,” says Ben Utterly, a first-year student in the SROAM Program. “And let’s be honest, it’s the perfect excuse to bring back some iconic fashion trends.”

Based out of the Tenth Street Campus in Nelson, the two-year SROAM Program covers all aspects of ski resort operations, providing learners a unique blend of management skills and industry knowledge to prepare graduates for lasting leadership roles. The only program of its kind in Canada, since 1980 it has been a vital training ground for the outdoor industry.

For this year’s annual event, teams of four will embark on a journey across Whitewater terrain, solving clues, completing tasks and overcoming challenges. Each checkpoint will test a different set of skills, from teamwork to puzzle-solving. Categories for prizes include first to cross the finish line, best costumes and luckiest teams.

“This is more than just a race, it’s a community gathering where everyone can embrace the fun and celebrate ski culture in a unique way,” says event organizer and SROAM first-year student Carson Field. “We can't wait to see participants dive into the theme, push their limits and carve through the snow.”

Pre-register for the event by visiting the SROAMazing Race Facebook page or emailing rmitz@selkirk.ca. If you pre-register for the race by March 18 the cost is $10 per person and registration on the day of the event is $15 per person. All funds being raised from the event will be donated to the Team Giver Foundation, supporting the youth in the winter sports community.

Radio Free Kaslo, June 21, 2024

It's summertime — and the living is... easy?!

Well, to be more specific, it's time to celebrate Summer Solstice and Midsummer (or Midsommar, as they say in Sweden).

And that's just what we do on today's Radio Free Kaslo. We check out how folks whoop it up on the longest day (and shortest night) of the year in Bulgaria, Quebec, England, and Sweden (of course — no one does it better than the Swedes).

Toss in some appropriate music, and you have yourself the perfect accompaniment to a backyard feast this weekend with family & friends. The way the world is going these days, we need every chance we can get to enjoy ourselves and one another — right?

SKÅL!
