About The Planetary Party

Syd Harvey Griffith is a regenerative systems builder, community organizer, and professional fundraiser working at the intersection of bioregional resilience, community-led regeneration, and liberatory flows of resources. Her work bridges ancient wisdom and modern tools to catalyze systems transformation rooted in care for people and planet.

As Executive Director of Kinship Earth, Syd leads the organization's Flow Funding work—entrusting grassroots leaders with unrestricted grants to flow in service of their communities and ecosystems. Kinship Earth is also dedicated to helping local communities launch and seed Bioregional Flow Funds.

Syd is also the co-founder of Permatours, a nonprofit that organizes hands-on permaculture action events focused on ecological restoration and natural building, as well as building mutual aid networks, and cultivating food and housing security. Their gatherings regenerate land and increase local communities' capacity to grow healthy food, offer affordable housing, and host gatherings. Kickstarted by a SEEDS regenerative crypto grant, Permatours piloted a peer-to-peer token economy where community members were rewarded for their contributions with the currency and could spend it at Permatours' regenerative community marketplace.

The Planetary Party is where Syd's worlds converge. Through Kinship Earth's leadership in the initiative's Capital Flows Guild and Permatours' participation in the Events Guild, Syd is helping to shape the Planetary Party initiative through its joyful gatherings that leave a lasting impact.
