The minimum is three things and a patch of ground
A surface to think on, something to build with, and something to build from: Infinity Stonepaper, Beenius, and a Material Station. What each of them is, and the range of what people do with them, is on the Infinity Tools page.
This page is about how you get them. Two of the three you can make or start yourself. One you buy, for now.
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.
Make the wax: the recipe is open, and it always was
Infinity Wax is the connector at the heart of Beenius, and it can be made on any stove.
500 g pure beeswax · 30 g lanolin · 20 g tree resin · 60 g kaolin
The most beautiful ratio we have found so far. This is a starting point and not a standard. Adapt it to your region with what is at hand. The only rule is to keep it natural, and if you find something better we would like to know.
And the sticks that complete it: bamboo, cut to 5, 8, 13 and 21 centimetres. The Fibonacci numbers, so the lengths combine the way the sequence itself unfolds.
Or buy a Beenius set from us, which funds the development work behind all of this. The recipe is free, the convenience is not.

I want to make a modelling wax for a construction kit, using materials available where I live. I live in [YOUR REGION]. Please help me work out a local version. The reference recipe, developed in Berlin, is: 500 g pure beeswax, 30 g lanolin, 20 g tree resin, 60 g kaolin clay. Melt the lanolin and resin together in a water bath, add the beeswax, stir, take off the heat, then work in the kaolin slowly. Pour onto baking paper and cool. Each ingredient does a job, and a local substitute has to do the same job: The beeswax is the body. It has to be soft enough to knead with hand warmth and firm enough to hold a shape at room temperature. The lanolin is the softener. It keeps the block pliable and stops it cracking or going brittle over time. The tree resin is the tack. It is what makes the wax grip a stick rather than just touch it. The kaolin is the filler. It gives the block body, takes away excess stickiness on the fingers, and gives a matte surface. The finished wax must: knead soft in the warmth of a hand, join two sticks in about two seconds and hold them, never harden or dry out, come off fingers and off the sticks without residue, be safe for children to handle for hours, and be re-warmed and reused indefinitely. Two of the four ingredients are animal products, so please also propose a fully plant-based version I could try. Plant waxes tend to be harder and to melt at higher temperatures than beeswax, so the balance will not simply be a substitution, and I would rather know where a vegan version performs worse than be told it is equivalent. Please tell me, for both versions: which locally available materials could fill each of the four roles where I live, what starting ratios you would try, what to avoid and why, and how I can test a batch to know whether it works. Ask me any questions you need about my climate and what is sold near me before you answer.
How to make it, step by step+
01 Set up a water bath. A larger pot with water, and inside it a smaller pot or a genuinely heat resistant glass for the ingredients. Keep one pot for this purpose only. Cleaning wax out of a pot you need for cooking is not worth the trouble.
02 Melt the lanolin and the tree resin together first, slowly.
03 Add the beeswax and let everything melt. Keep enough water in the pot underneath and do not push the heat. Slow is correct here.
04 When it is all liquid, stir it properly. A bamboo stick works well.
05 Take it off the heat, then work in the kaolin: a little, stir, a little more, stir. Patiently.
06 Pour it onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, with the edges of the paper turned up so nothing can run over. Wax barely sticks to baking paper, so the block comes away easily afterwards. Wax that escapes anywhere else is a serious mess, and yes, we have tried every version of that.
07 Let it cool to room temperature.
08 Cut your bamboo to 5, 8, 13 and 21 centimetres. Warm a piece of wax in your hand, join two sticks, and you are building.
The one part you cannot yet make yourself
You can buy Infinity Stonepaper from us in the formats a Hub actually uses, from cards that fit in one hand to sheets a whole group can stand around. For a school, a Hub or any place equipping more than one table, order it in quantity: no packaging, no gift design, just the material.

Shipping 6.90 net per order, free above 250 net. Mixed orders are fine and the tiers apply per format. You always pay the cheaper total, so ordering nine Boards never costs more than ordering ten. Mini is a bulk format only and is not in the online shop.
OrderWhat a classroom actually costs+
One hundred Cards so everybody has their own, five Boards for group work, and five XXL Boards for the wall: 105 euro net, once, for material that gets wiped and rewritten for years. Whether that is expensive depends entirely on what you compare it to.
The raw material still comes from Asia, and where it is going is local production, so that endlessly reusable learning material gets established in the places that use it rather than shipped to them. We are on that road rather than at the end of it.
Which is exactly why this is the part where help is welcome. If you want to open a distribution for your region, or you know something about producing this material locally, write to us. The future of this material is local, and it starts with people like you.
How stonepaper works, and where it is going →Nobody sells you this one, so here is the guide
A shelf, a corner, a crate, anywhere the everyday can collect. You start it by putting something out and telling three people what it is for.
The guide is free: how to choose the spot, what to collect and what to leave out, how to sort it so it stays usable instead of becoming a pile, and how to get a neighbourhood to feed it.
Download the Material Station guideNobody makes you a Hub. You say what you are joining.
There is no certificate, no inspection and no approval. A place becomes a Regeneration Hub when the people who run it commit to four things, in public, in their own words if they prefer ours do not fit.
The ground here leaves each year better than it entered it.
Anyone who comes can take part, and the tools are here to be used.
What we work out here, we pass on.
We run this place ourselves, on our own responsibility and under the law of our country, including insurance and the safety of the children who come.
Signed with the name of the place and a date, and renewed each year. A Hub that stops renewing quietly stops being one, and nobody has to police that.
Download the sticker, print it on whatever you have, and write the name of your place on it yourself. On stonepaper it sticks to any window with nothing but water, and it can be wiped and rewritten like everything else here.
Nobody sends you this. You make it, the same way you make the wax.
Download the sticker and the commitmentWhat the sticker means to a stranger+
Somebody walking past a door with this sign on it can expect four things: that the tools inside are usable by them, that they can join in, that what is learned here is passed on, and that the ground is better cared for than it was. That is all it promises, and it promises it from the place rather than from us.
Why we keep the right to say stop+
The name is free to use for anyone who holds the commitment, and we check nobody. We do keep one right: to ask a place to stop using the name if something happens under it that breaks the commitment badly.
That is not a contradiction of the open model, it is what protects it. These are places with children in them, and the name is the only thing we will ever be able to do about it. We expect never to use it.
Put your place on the list
Once you have signed it, tell us, and your place goes on the open list of Hubs: a name, a country, a line about what you are growing, as much or as little as you want. That is the moment the network stops being an idea.
The list is public and open. Nothing else happens to it. We do not rank it, and we do not use it to reach you.
No Hub has signed yet.
What you get by starting early
Parts of this are still being built, which is exactly why starting now matters. When you tell us you have begun, we send you ways to put the tools to work, and we help you test a first small Hub with other people.
The interesting Learning Journeys have not been written yet, and they will not be written by us. If you walk one and write it down, it becomes something the next place can start from.
Why starting early is worth something+
A Regeneration Hub is a living organism rather than a finished product, and some organs are further along than others. Beginning now is not settling for less. It is helping decide what the whole thing becomes.
The places that start before there is a network are the ones that shape what the network turns out to be.
No commitment, just a first hello.
Thank you. We read every one of these and answer by hand.
The first Hub you start already gives more back to its ground than it takes.
Everything you need to begin is within reach, and addressed to everyone.
What you build connects to the network, so what you learn passes onward.
The first step is smaller than the vision, and it is the whole thing.
A pot of wax on a stove, four lengths of bamboo, a box in the corner and a patch of ground nobody was using. That is a Hub. Everything else is what happens between the people who gather around it.
