Executive Director, Kinship Earth
Co-Founder, Permatours

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Planetary Party?

The Planetary Party is a living cultural practice and systems-change activation process that supports bioregions in coming into shared intention, trust, and collective stewardship of their future.

It weaves together:

  • Culture, celebration, and ritual
  • Community-led sensemaking and collective intelligence
  • Place-based governance and stewardship
  • Pathways for resources, responsibility, and care to move together
  • Global systemic solutions adapted to local needs

It functions as:

  • A cultural meme / modern myth - reframing regeneration as joyful, relational, and participatory
  • A field catalyst - supporting movement from fragmentation toward shared orientation
  • A container for bioregional self-organization - aligning leadership, initiatives, and resources without central control
  • An ecosystem of high impact solutions maximizing impact and reducing risk

How are the Planetary Party festivals different from other festivals?

Unlike events that fade when tents come down, Planetary Parties leave behind positive-trace infrastructure: gardens, governance models, water systems, Flow Funds, and strengthened community capacity. Plus, they're part of a global learning network.

Can anyone host a Planetary Party?

Anyone can be inspired by the Planetary Party meme and host gatherings in that spirit. To host an official Party using the full Protocol and receiving Guild support, communities go through an onboarding process to ensure alignment and readiness.

What are Bioregional Flow Funds?

Bioregional Flow Funds are trust-based, community-governed pools of capital that move quickly to grassroots leaders and projects based on bioregional priorities. No grant applications or burdensome reporting. Just relational accountability and rapid deployment.

Do I need to be part of a bioregion to participate?

Everyone lives in a bioregion! You can participate by joining a Guild, volunteering at gatherings, amplifying the meme, or connecting us with your local community and networks.

How is the Planetary Party funded?

Through a combination of philanthropic partnerships, impact investments, bioregional Flow Fund allocations, event revenues, and individual donations. We're building regenerative economic models that support the work.

What kind of entity is the Planetary Party?

The Planetary Party is a federated ecosystem, with no entity status. Non profit initiatives within the ecosystem are fiscally sponsored through nonprofit partners like Kinship Earth, while for profit initiatives are fiscally sponsored by the Nalu'ea Living Trust. The broader meme and frameworks are open-source and available to all.

Are Guilds local, virtual, or hybrid?

Guilds are virtual as we are a global network working together to co-create the Planetary Party Protocol - serving bioregional communities around the world.

How do I engage if there's no Planetary Party in my bioregion yet?

You can join a Guild remotely, participate in orientation calls, and/or start a local sensing + mapping circle using the Protocol. When a bioregion is ready, we support an onboarding pathway for official activations.

How can I stay updated?

Join our newsletter, follow us on social media, and check this website for updates on gatherings, Guild opportunities, and bioregional activations.
