Executive Director: Tom Kovach

Tom Kovach
Tom Kovach (he, they) has been on the board of many nonprofits and was the first openly gay city council member in Oklahoma. He wants to utilize his experience in organizational leadership, as well as community, and coalition building. He believes in setting clear goals and bringing people together to accomplish them. Activism has always been important to Tom, and he sees the Body Electric School as an opportunity to help both individuals and the human community. He lives on a working ranch with his husband of 25 years. He enjoys astronomy, hiking, and listening to music, and he is a big Trekkie.
Quote that is most alive: “One impossible thing at a time” Jean Lu Picard.

Director of Marketing: Kelly Huxham

kelly
Kelly Huxham, (she/they) aka Orenda came to Body Electric later in life and thinks the world would be a better place if more people had the awareness that the school teaches. After participating in a second All Genders Celebrating the Body Erotic, they said to their partner “I want to volunteer, to amplify the Body Electric Voice”. Within a week of making that statement an email came through asking for people to volunteer. Orenda did, and well things went from there.
Orenda has been working in communications and marketing of non profits for more than 20 years. They started designing and building things in the 1980s. Lives on the west coast of British Columbia, part time on a 41’ sailboat with their partner and dog, and part time on land with several other sex positive friends. They have 2 children, one in Ontario and 1 in New Zealand, 3 step kids, 3 or 4 grand rascals (who’s counting?) and wants them all to know what it feels like to be in love with themselves.
Orenda is a chosen name, it originates from a Haudenosaunee word, that honors the lineage of my matriarchal grandmother.

Outreach Coordinator: Reno W. Johnston

Reno
When we show up, magic happens. I envision a world in which we are all embodying this knowing and enjoying this magic.
Some of the magic: Lemonade stands, car washes, detention, suspension, parents separating, a family history of addiction and abuse, mom coming to school with me for a day, trouble with authority, the most improved student award, a fast and hard period, umpteen jobs, depression, spiritual awakening, fashion and styling, business school, television and film appearances, 6 months in Bali and the dissolving of a startup project, a corner office with my name on the door, leaving the “corporate” world,10+ years of coaching (on and off, including burnout, a break, and a reset), speaking, facilitating, and consulting with freelancers, professionals, entrepreneurs, teams, and organizations.
Over the last decade, I have hosted retreats and coliving/coworking experiences in places like Bali and Costa Rica, ecstatic dance and meditation workshops, sharing circles and authentic relating experiences, and organizational workshops in areas of motivation, conflict resolution, morale, leadership, spiritual commerce, and creativity. I’ve helped people connect to their own bodies and aliveness, heal shame, learn to trust their own intuition and spiritual intelligence, speak on stages or camera, grow community, travel abroad, get paid to do work they love, resolve conflict, write books, leave their jobs and start businesses, and live a little more lightly, courageously, autonomously, and authentically.

Registrar: Ben Lewis

Ben
After spending decades working for high tech companies in small gray cubicles, Ben Lewis (he/him) is delighted to get the opportunity to work with people and all of their beautiful complexities. Ben came to Body Electric just a few years ago, and he firmly believes that the world would be a better place if everyone in it took one CBE workshop.
Ben is a typical Gen X slacker who loves to hike the woods and mountains of north Georgia and also enjoys yoga and transcendental meditation. His favorite author is Umberto Eco, and he finds that ambient electronic music tends to relax him. He spends a lot of time tuned in to both Hearts of Space and SomaFM.
A native of rural south Georgia, Ben now lives in the metro Atlanta area on land that was taken from the Muscogee Creek people. He shares his home with his husband and their two cats.
