The conference held from March 8-10, titled "The Calendar of the Soul and Karl König’s Drawings - An Inner Journey Through the Year," featured an exhibition showcasing Karl König’s remarkable drawings for each verse of the Soul Calendar, along with his drawings for the 13 crosses* formed by these verses. Richard Steel, with five decades of dedicated study and work with the Soul Calendar, delivered insightful opening and closing lectures. Eurythmy performances of 4 selected crosses were followed by an illuminating talk by Richard, after which there was a repeated eurythmy performance. Hands-on workshops included the arts in drawing, journaling, eurythmy, speech and guided tours of the drawings by Richard Steel.

The exhibit remained on campus the following week for public viewing and guided tours. Richard also joined the Regional Camphill Community and the Camphill Association of North America meetings, where he offered two more public talks and joined a curative education panel with faculty from the Otto Specht School.

*Karl König was one of the first, if not the first, to recognize and elaborate on the importance of the relationship of the 52 Soul Calendar verses to each other. The verses are related in opposing pairs and each pair is related to another pair to form 13 crosses of 4 verses in the year.
