Knowledge Base for Building Regenerative Villages

re:build was born in 2020 from a partnership of visionary village builders who recognized the urgent need to support the emerging regenerative village movement. In a time when many were questioning established systems and seeking new ways of living, six founders came together to create a platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration.

The founding team brought together diverse expertise and perspectives:

• — Anton Chernikov, Founder of Selgars Mill and House of Transformation, creating spaces that reconnect people with nature and each other through regenerative hospitality and community gatherings.
• — Ani Anca, Co-founder of Traditional Dream Factory and operational lead of Vermont Hub, a retreat and offsite venue in the Swiss Alps, dedicated to regenerative practices and creating spaces for transformation.
• — Victor Vorski, Visionary behind multiple regenerative projects including Forest Village Pretschen and Eternal Forest, working at the intersection of art, technology, and community regeneration.
• — Nicolás Alcalá, Founder of habRitual and co-founder of Design Science Studio, pioneering new forms of community-based living and regenerative design through the Buckminster Fuller Institute partnership.
• — Samuel Delesque, Founder of OASA and Traditional Dream Factory (with $TDF token), building Europe's first regenerative village operating under a DAO model, creating nature-backed commons economies and tokenized governance systems.
• — Jeremy Agnew, Organizer and facilitator of re:build gatherings, bringing together practitioners from around the world to share knowledge and build the regenerative village movement.

Today, re:build remains a living community in support of the new-village movement. We recognize the critical importance of regenerative and scalable neighborhoods that reinhabit rural areas—creating models that not only restore ecosystems but also build thriving local economies and strong social bonds.

These regenerative neighborhoods serve as templates for a different future: one where communities live in harmony with their bioregions, where local economies are circular and resilient, and where human flourishing is intrinsically linked to ecological health. Through our gatherings, knowledge base, and ongoing community, re:build continues to support those who are answering the call to re:build our world—one village at a time.
