Leaders
Carolyn Renée
Carolyn Renée Morris (she/her), since 1995, spanning three decades, "Carolyn Renée" has been a pivotal cultural organizer. She blends her roles of teaching artist, activist, and healer into collaborations for social change. She was raised in a community of matriarchal healers, including priestesses, seers, and herbalists and learned from these interactions how to help others. Carolyn Renée seamlessly integrates these influences into her InterPlay practice and daily life. She draws inspiration and transformative tools from *Jegnas and applies her own expertise in art and social change gained from years of firsthand experiences and professional development aimed specifically at dismantling racism. Her extensive work includes 15+ years of teaching girls to write and perform their stories through Playmaking for Girls, a community program of Synchronicity Performance Group and her own we.Pod initiative. In 2022, she co-led the InterPlay Life Practice for Spiritual Leaders. She’s a devoted Nichiren Buddhist for 38 years. Carolyn Renée is currently part of the fifth cohort of Tami Simon's Sounds True Inner MBA program, learning from esteemed spiritual teachers how to integrate her wealth of experiences and to grow into the best version of herself.
