คAbout Your Host
โผ โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Hello! I'm Momo๐
Born and raised at Tenrikyo Church, I moved to Tokyo after marrying my wonderful husband who runs a startup here.
My story:
- ๐น Piano enthusiast who loves nuts and cheese (healthy fats for life!)
- ๐ Grew up in a community focused on music education and food banking
- ๐ก Passionate about how ancient wisdom can address modern challenges
- ๐ New Tokyo resident amazed by the city's energy but aware of its isolation challenges
Why I started this group: Tokyo is incredible, but I noticed how many people feel disconnected despite being surrounded by millions. Tenrikyo's core message - "we're all family, let's help each other live joyfully" - feels more relevant than ever.
I want to create a space where people can slow down, connect authentically, and discover the gentle wisdom that has helped communities thrive for generations.
