Makiko Sugashita: Founder, KaleidoForest

In this episode of Leading by Nature, Giles Hutchins is joined by Makiko Sugashita, Founder & Representative Director, KaleidoForest Co. & Co-Representative Director, Regenerative Leadership Japan, for a thoughtful exploration of regeneration through a Japanese lens.

Makiko shares the origins of KaleidoForest and her deep commitment to serving life, reflecting on how the regenerative movement is unfolding in Japan and the cultural nuances shaping it. Through the metaphor of a kaleidoscope, she describes the unique patterns we each carry within, and reminds us that regeneration begins with relationships.

She also reflects on how a visit to Springwood reshaped her understanding of separation, how she applies the Three Lenses framework in her own life as a mother, and why she invites us to remember where we return when we forget.

A gentle, grounding conversation about connection, culture and leading in service of life.
