Save the date for Edge Esmeralda 2026!

We’re excited to announce that Edge Esmeralda is returning in 2026! ☀️

Mark your calendars for May 30 - June 27.

Edge Esmeralda is our flagship popup village in Healdsburg, CA. For a month, we gather people who are optimistic about the future and are actively working towards a society rooted in human flourishing.

We’re co-organizing this popup village with Esmeralda Institute, a new permanent village (Esmeralda) just 90 minutes north of San Francisco. Our gathering serves as a living prototype for that vision, helping us test new ways of living, working, and thriving together.

Previous editions have drawn hundreds of people at the frontier of technology, consciousness, longevity science, web3, AI, robotics, neuroscience, art, new urbanism, civic tech, education, and beyond — creating cross-disciplinary breakthroughs that continue beyond our temporary village.

We recommend joining for longer rather than shorter. Spending 2–4 weeks at Edge Esmeralda opens doors for deep collaborations, lasting friendships, and the space to integrate new ideas and healthy habits into daily life. Those who stayed the full month called it transformative, while short-term visitors often wished they had stayed longer. If you can, plan for at least a week, as the momentum builds over time.

In the meantime, you can:

✨ read the recap to revisit the highlights, experiments and residencies from this year’s edition

✨ start imagining the frontier experiments and projects you’d love to bring to Healdsburg

We can’t wait to prototype a brighter future together in Healdsburg next summer!
