Edge Esmeralda
Edge Esmeralda
A month-long village for people reimagining how we live, learn, and create. Over four weeks in Healdsburg, CA, participants will explore new ways of living through hands-on experiments across four themes: Protocols for Flourishing, Reality Reinvented, Environments of Tomorrow, and Decentralized Technologies. The village is grounded in four core principles: it’s multidisciplinary, multigenerational, co-created, and healthy by default. Edge Esmeralda is a prototype for something bigger: a permanent town called Esmeralda.
