Build your own Hub

Bring a Hub to your place

You do not need permission, a budget or a grand plan. You need a table, a patch of ground, a few people, and the first tools. This page is how you get them, and how you stop being alone in it.

Agnes Friedrich, ink and watercolour — it begins with what is already there

It starts smaller than you think

A whole Re:Generation Hub fits on a table. Infinity Stonepaper to think on, Beenius to build with, a Material Station fed by whatever is around you: that is already a complete Hub in miniature. Add one everyday thing and a patch of ground, and you have begun.

There are two moves from here. First, get the tools. Then, join the network, so what you start connects to everyone else starting too.

The permaculture in this: start small and slow, a table and a patch of ground today, more only as the place is ready for it.

Get the tools

paper, wax, a material station

Step one

The tools in your hands

Three things make the smallest working Hub. Get them ready-made from us, or make them yourself, the choice is always yours.

Get the Paper

Infinity Stonepaper is the endless surface your Hub thinks on: write, wipe, write again, at every scale from hand card to wall sheet.

The future of this material is local, and it starts with people like you.

Make or Get the Wax

Infinity Wax is the connector at the heart of Beenius: warm it in your hand, press in a bamboo stick, and the joint holds in seconds. You can mix it yourself, or get a ready-made Beenius set from us with the wax already in your hands as a reference.

Get a Beenius set

Or make your own Infinity Wax

Part of Beenius' promise is that it need not be bought. Our current Berlin blend, the most beautiful ratio we have found so far: 500 g pure beeswax, 30 g lanolin, 20 g tree resin (colophony), 60 g kaolin. Warm, knead, use, reuse without end. A starting point, not a standard: adapt it to your region with what is at hand, the only rule is to keep it natural.

The sticks that complete it: bamboo, cut to 5, 8, 13 and 21 centimeters, the Fibonacci numbers, so the lengths combine the way the sequence itself unfolds. Wax and sticks together are truly Beenius.

The Material Station

The third piece costs nothing: a shelf, a box, a corner where the everyday collects. Caps, corks, offcuts, branches, dye plants, whatever the neighborhood brings. It turns leftovers into building parts and colors, and it grows richer the more hands feed it.

You do not order this one. You start it.

Put out a box, tell three people what it is for, and watch it fill.

01 · Gather the four: beeswax, lanolin, tree resin, kaolin

02 · Melt the beeswax gently, low and slow

03 · Stir in lanolin and resin until it runs clear

04 · Work in the kaolin for body and a soft matte finish

05 · Let it cool to a warm, kneadable block

06 · Cut your bamboo to 5, 8, 13 and 21 centimeters

07 · Warm a piece in your hand, join two sticks, and you are building

Step two

Join the network

With the tools in hand, you are no longer just holding materials, you are holding the start of a Hub. The second move is to connect it to the others. Reach out, tell us you are beginning, and you join the early prototypes: the first people setting up Re:Generation Hubs, learning together, and shaping what comes next.

Early builders shape it

What you get by starting early

Some of the Hub is still under development, and that is exactly why starting now matters: early builders shape it.

When you connect and take your first steps, we send you ways and ideas for putting the Infinity Tools to work for regeneration, encouragement to keep going, and support to test a small prototype Hub with others and get started for real.

As things mature, early builders get first access to what is still growing: the PLAYtoGROW Learning Journeys, and, further out, the symbients Maja and Mojo. You build the room; we help fill it, as the pieces become ready.

Why some of it is still growing

A Re:Generation Hub is a living organism, not a finished product, and some organs are further along than others. The Infinity Tools are here now. The Learning Journeys are opening up. Maja and Mojo are in development. Rather than wait for everything, we invite people to begin with what exists and grow into the rest, so the Hub and its builders mature together. Starting early is not settling for less. It is helping decide what the whole thing becomes.

A short form to begin the conversation. No commitment, just a first hello.

Your hello is on its way

Welcome to the early builders. We will be in touch soon, and you are no longer doing this alone.

Send my hello

You will not be doing this alone

A Hub is run by its community. What we do is provide the tools, the artefacts and the support, and connect you to everyone else building one. The Hub itself is yours, on your terms, in your place.

You bring the ground and the people. We help with the rest.

Begin

The first step is smaller than the vision, and it is the whole thing.

Every Hub in the world, and every one still to come, started exactly here: a few tools, a patch of ground, and someone who decided to begin. That someone can be you, today.
