FOUNDER

I’m a certified relational and group development coach (ICF PCC), creative consultant, and founder of Wemanity Coaching. For over 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of group development, leadership, and the performing arts—helping individuals and teams grow resilience, creativity, and collaboration together.

I began my career in advertising with leading agencies in London, Paris, and New York, before curiosity pulled me beyond campaigns and metrics and into theater, improvisation, and social therapeutic practice.

Wemanity is a space where people stop trying to fix themselves—we are not fragile—and start practicing how to think, relate, and create with others. Human development is a shared creative act. It asks for collective imagination in motion.

I’m a French and American citizen, a joyful (and rebellious) Buddhist, and a lifelong advocate for women, LGBTQ+ communities, and cross-cultural and intergenerational dialogue.

I live in Brooklyn and continue to build my practice in collaboration with a vibrant ensemble of fellow practitioners.

CREATIVE COLLABORATOR

I am a lifelong community organizer, activist and artist. Trained as an actress and improviser, I use play, improv, and the expressive arts to create joy. I began my creative collaboration with Aurélie Harp in 2018 through the East Side Institute, where I served as faculty in the International Class, playfully teaching social therapeutics with activists, educators, and scholars from around the world.

I am the co-author (with Carrie Lobman) of “Playing Around with Changing the World,” a chapter about this work in The Applied Improvisation Mindset (Bloomsbury Press, 2021).

Aurélie and I have lovingly co-created a range of projects, including a short film (Nippy Bottoms Is Not Going Back to Normal), a social-therapeutic coaching practice, the Global Play Brigade (with colleagues around the world), and ongoing opportunities for people to co-create, grow/transform, and develop their humanity together — joyfully.

CREATIVE COLLABORATOR

I am a French-English bilingual actor, executive coach and psychotherapeutic counselor with 20+ years experience working with individuals and groups both in a professional corporate context, and in the intimacy of their personal lives. I trained as a psychotherapeutic counsellor at The Psychosynthesis Trust following an Advancer Practitioner Diploma in Executive coaching and my approach is integrative: I bring my blend of artistic passion, corporate expertise and psychotherapeutic insights to offer a holistic, integrative approach to personal growth and transformation.

Rachelle Moore, LCSW, grew up Black in a Black family, with a high ranking military father. The influence of growing up in the military complex that had strict rules about fraternization between officers (mostly Caucasian) and enlisted men (mostly Black). This created a predominantly Caucasian environment from birth until Freshman year in college. During college years at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Ohio, Rachelle majored in psychology to discover “what was wrong with her.”  The rise of the Black power movement, meeting other Black activists, passionate about making positive changes in the world, fueled her desire to become a therapist and help other Black women and men grow and develop emotionally professionally and politically. 

Rachelle is who she is, who she is not, and who she is becoming—
simultaneously. That said, she speaks in the present tense.

Rachelle is human. A Black woman.
A social therapist, musician, and passionate improviser—personally and professionally. A child shaped by the military institution. Happily single. A healer. A student of alchemy. Curious. Deeply fascinated by anything “quantum.” Pan-cultural. A connector. A collaborator. A change agent. An influencer. A corporate mid-management professional. A sister, a daughter, a friend.

To some, she is called Oracle.

She is in the midst of a major—and exciting—life transition.

Rachelle is a lover of philosophical wandering, especially in conversation with her favorite philosophers: musicians.

Social therapeutics is quantum.

Music is Her Church.

She found “me” in the “WE.”

C Meranda is a theatre director, memory worker, facilitator, and clown working to create opportunities for people to perform differently with each other—on stage, in organizations, and in civic life. Influenced by their family’s navigation of mental illness, the criminal punishment system, and poverty, they made it their career to develop environments where people can exercise collective, civic imagination.

They now lead a creative consulting practice, WhyWOW Studio, to enact this work. Through Monuments Across Appalachian Virginia, they support groups in developing creative projects that bring neighbors together to dream and to commemorate stories targeted by policies of erasure. With the theater company Pink Fang, and independently, they work with groups to write, share, and perform stories with truth and wild imagination.

As part of Wellness Together, they work with a network of 1,000 homebound adults—some for health reasons, others because they are caregivers—to create compelling, therapeutic storytelling experiences, culminating in a public performance in collaboration with La MaMa Experimental Theatre. Their history includes two years co-directing The Clinic Performance, developing creative workshops and new plays addressing burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral injury with 20 hospitals and 1,000 healthcare workers.

They love asking “What if?” questions and seek every opportunity to work with people to discover new ways of sharing stories—the things that make us who we are—in environments where collective care is central. Find out more.
