Yes, Tink is short for Tinkerbell. No, I didn’t have hippy parents, Georgina is the name on my birth certificate but I’ve been Tink to family and friends for as long as I can remember.

In November 2010 when I first wrote this bio, with a small, made-to-order sustainable apparel label, I tentatively described myself as a social entrepreneur. Sixteen years, I’m quite honestly not sure how to describe myself. In all honesty, the older I get the less I know. Having kept my father (2003), mother (2023), and two Aunts (2024 and 2025) company as they died, I’m curious about the liminal spaces in between lives and worlds. Questions of consciousness and the non-material. What does it mean to be human.

My husband and I live on 12 acres of land over looking the ocean, with four dogs, one cat, a permaculture garden, many house plants and my in-laws in a cottage next door. We continue to move towards even more community up here on the hill, with the intention of sharing the space with people who have a shared language of permaculture and something like NVC which supports having the inevitable hard conversations of being human and remaining connected. In the meantime, a core focus for me is growing the regional community of Bengston Method practitioners, you can find out more about that here. xxx
