Episode 52 — Rachel Ferguson, co-founder of Ryozan Park, writer, singer & voice artist

Made in Japan-- Conversations with Meljo Catalan

Community is Everything. Meet Rachel, a mother of many talents. Along with her husband, they’ve built and grew a share house project called RYOZAN PARK which empowers families in Tokyo to build a community with workspaces, accommodation and childcare. It is one of Tokyo’s first ever integrated urban communities of this decade. However, this concept is nothing new to the Japanese society; just easily forgotten. Rachel also came on my podcast to announce her new children’s book/sleep aid, “Gugu and Penfin Sleep”. A perfect (and super cute!) book for parents in need to get themselves and their kids some well deserved rest.
