Welcome to the 2026 Outdoor Learning Conference
Friday May 8, 2026 11:00am - 12:15pm MDT
Participants with spend guided time on the land and as a community of learners, considering how connection with land might foster authentic health care and service provision. This workshop is appropriate for health care workers, educators, and land-based organizational leadership.


Through access to land, water, air, space, and the more-than-human components of the natural environment surrounding this event, we will focus discussion and learning outcomes around building community, reflection on self as a member of system, and human/more-than human interconnectedness - Wholism.


As we expose participants to these environmental components on the land, we will ask them consider links with health/care provision in a number of ways/through multiple perspectives (personal/interpersonal/the more-than-human/community/national/planetary). We will combine interaction with the natural elements alongside talking circles to connect our experiences and perspectives.
