Experience an evening of warmth and resonance with Saskatoon’s Ellen Nasser.

This event is more than a book launch: it’s a gathering of heart. Ellen will read from her book and perform piano pieces and favourite cover songs alongside Bart McKay, Murray Pulver, and friends. Through music and narrative, she invites you into the deeper rhythms of humanity — the nuance of joy, the ache of loss, and the tender work of staying present in heavy times.

Ellen’s stories touch on losing her father, the realities of parenting, and the search for intentional living in a complex world — all woven with warmth, humility, and love. This is an evening to slow down, feel deeply, and to be held by language and sound.

Ellen’s book will be available for purchase for the first time — the culmination of years of devotion and creative exploration. Join us in The Bassment’s intimate setting for a night that lingers.
