Welcome to the 2026 Outdoor Learning Conference

Saturday May 9, 2026 2:00pm - 5:30pm MDT

Soapstone carving is a very satisfying craft. This workshop begins with a meditation to connect to the land. Your instructor will lead you through the process of soapstone carving; from setting an intention to choosing your stone, deciding what to carve, using the tools effectively, sanding and bringing out the colours - the great reveal! You will leave with a very special hand made carving to remind you of your time at this amazing conference in beautiful Banff National Park.
