We have an exciting update on our Touch Grass residency at Edge Esmeralda 2026: Artizen is coming on as our partner to co-create a hub for unique activities throughout this popup village (May 30 - June 27).
The Agartha & Artizen House is just 10 minutes from Healdsburg Plaza and serves as our home base during Edge Esmeralda, a month-long gathering with hundreds of curious and creative people working at the frontiers of tech, culture, science, and community.
We will host activities centered around presence, connection, alignment, restoration, creativity, and growth.
The country house gives us a space in nature for weekly intention-setting sessions, shared meals in small groups, ikigai exploration, and moments to slow down. Many of these activities will be open to the entire Edge City community, some events (like small group dinners) are exclusive to Touch Grass residents.
Artizen is a community-curated funding platform that backs creators and projects pushing the boundaries of art, science, and culture. Every dollar their community spends on a project unlocks matching funds for the creator. It’s one of the more interesting models we’ve seen for getting resources to the right people.
We’re currently participating in a round ourselves: you can contribute here →
Both our communities care deeply about the people building toward a better world, and both of us believe that real connection and value-aligned funding are two of the most powerful things you can offer a creator. Collaborating at Edge Esmeralda felt obvious once we started talking.
Artizen is co-creating the month with us and bringing their community into the experience. And with their support, we now have a beautiful hub for our activities. We’re really happy about this 💚
If you’re coming to Edge Esmeralda 2026 and want to be part of the resident-only activities of Touch Grass, you can apply here. We have a 20% discount code on the Edge City ticket for those who participate in our residency. Only a few spots are still available.
See you soon!
