Former Board Members

We are profoundly grateful for all our wise, dedicated, and insightful former Board Members. Thank you, each and all, for your years of devoted service. You have held and guided WiseBodies faithfully for 13 years. What a gift you are.

 

Kogetsu Benya

Kogetsu Benya (she/her) is an intuitive chef, tragic writer, quirky mother, continuous traveler & philosophical fire spirit with a dark sense of humor. Mother to two queer children, 3 feral cats, and a very thirsty rooster. She is a pansexual, mixed race displaced feline. Kogetsu's journey has currently landed her as worker-owner & chef at Random Harvest Market.

Hillary Hawk

Hillary Hawk (she/they) is a diligent defender and humble truth telling rainbow unicorn in overalls. She loves writing poetry and singing and talking to trees. By day she runs Random Harvest Market, a worker-owned grocery store and cafe, and by night you can find her having living room dance parties and feeling her feelings. She has one exuberant 18 year old daughter, 2 cats and a dog. Being raised queer in a conservative town in California, she deeply loves, appreciates, and supports WiseBodies work creating safe and joyous spaces for lgbtq+ youth and adults to dream into the beautiful bodies that are theirs.

Kole Kovacs

Kole (he/they) is an all around creative collaborator at WiseBodies, as well as a Class Leader. He works with our communications group, provides administrative and technical support, and collaborates with WiseBodies in emergent ways. He was also an assistant teacher for the 2019-2020 KNOW and CIRCLE classes and is the leading facilitator of our Queer Teens Group.

Kole is a lifelong learner. He sees so much wisdom and energy in WiseBodies and is excited to share in the mission of helping people learn more about bodies, plants, and sexuality (aka communication!).
