Hi, I'm Alison. 

I'm the Founder & Advisor of Quiip. We've been a certified B Corp since 2018, and are currently 11% employee owned. I'm also a volunteer for Plan C, a member of the Minyon Resilience Network & Seed Northern Rivers, a passionate Rising Tide activist and the founder of online community Kinterra. In 2026 I've co-facilitated a course on Resilience & Collapse Acceptance, which is a free 9-week, online course.

I’m interested in community resilience, permaculture, reading, mindfulness, yin yoga, being barefoot, the ocean, frugal hedonism and operating outside the monetary economy.  I’m curious about the complicated world we live in, and believe a more beautiful world could come into being through collective efforts.

I’m proudly raising two amazing & incredible sons, aged 16 and 18. You’ll find me dual living in the regional beachside communities of Avoca Beach and the Northern Rivers Region of Australia. On the unceded lands, waters and skies of Darkinjung and Bundjalung country.

Areas of study I've undertaken in the last few years, that may be of interest include:

• Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC), Djanbung Gardens Nimbin NSW

• Deep Ecology workshop with John Seed, Narara NSW.

• Resilience & Collapse Acceptance. Online. 

• Plan C training. Northern Rivers, NSW.

• Surviving the Future. Online. (Currently studying May 2026)
