We had the good fortune of connecting with Raven Clemente and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Raven, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
I remember my mom telling me the story of how was only four years of age. We were sitting outside the train station in Chicago and I saw a homeless man. I immediately tugged on her jacket asking for some money to help him get some food. The drive to help people and the world has been a big part of my life. It started as a young child delivering meals on wheels with my grandparents to the elderly. By the age of sixteen I was practicing yoga and at thirty became a teacher. I became a  studio owner in Boulder County for 6 years and sold it. This led me to discovering my abilities as a shamanic healer that I developed into a coaching career. It’s why I do what I do and believe why the manuscript I just wrote came through me. To help wake up the collective and empower the world. To not take life so seriously and play with it, like a game.

Ever since I was a child I’ve had the most magical experiences. I’ve seen life in a different way and have allowed it to interact and communicate with me in a fashion I feel has been forgotten by the masses. Most people have forgotten that they are the driver to their destinations. They live with a view of “I’ll believe when I see it “and “this is just the way it is” mentality. I see so many people just living, but not really awake or alive to the possibility of creating more joy and abundance in their life.

So my shamanic sessions, coaching and now this book all help activate people to understanding their magnetic abilities, attract their dreams and step into their destiny. It is in my full hearted belief that we all have a great purpose in life and when we learn how to step past the outdated stories that tell us we are not enough, don’t deserve or don’t have what it takes, we awaken a lion. We unleash something primal and innate that directs us to the most beautiful people, places and moments we couldn’t even conceive of. That is the change I am working towards in my business and for this world.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Ever since I was a child I have seen world from a different lens. I see energy around everything, auras on people and the rainbow split around anything in physical reality.  An optometrist once called this chromatic aberration but either way it’a allowed me to view life from a much more colorful view of the world than most. Not only that but my life has been filled with multiple magical manifestations. From people, to places, to the selling of my business and buying my first home. For example when I met my husband for the first time he introduced himself to me and we began talking. As I walked away an audible voice inside said, “you are going to marry that man”. Then six months later he asked me out and  were married the day after the four year anniversary of our first date.  I’ve had prophetic dreams my entire life, audible messaging from my guides at pivotal moments. Moments that lead me to channeling the manuscript, The Magnet Mode,” how to play life like a game and win.”

But none of it would have happened if I hadn’t chosen my truth. If I hadn’t moved past my own personal issues of esteem and confidence.  By the way of what some would call going through many dark nights of the soul. I had been resisting my gifts and abilities my entire life. I have always felt so different than most people and looking back was subconsciously scared. I feared leaning into my own intuitive and psychic gifts would cause me to be even more different and distant to others than I was before. But what I found instead was it brought me closer to people than I ever could have imagined. Which is the whole point of the book, my mission and the brand. That when we begin navigating from what I call our “Inner Compass” and allow ourselves to be led by life…life begins getting really fun and interactive.

Learning to trust in your own path, your gifts and inner guidance mixed with what I call paying attention to the breadcrumbs life throws at us will set you up for the most phenomenal life and joyful moments.  This book offers a method to living life in the most abundant way. It has a mathematical equation to manifesting. It offers a new way of understanding yourself in life as a player to a game that you get to learn and grow from in a new and exciting way. It turns the kid like mindset on. The one that used to believe in magic and thought life was limitless with possibilities. It offers a new theory to manifesting with one of the most ancient symbols and our basic phyisological functions…that and much more. It’s a game changer and my hope is for it to help unlock the ability to truly create in the physical. To awaken the greatness and make the most positive impacts each person reading this deep down really desires to make.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love Honey in the Rhino District. They Choco-lit is amazing! Plus it used to be the spaced I taught yoga in a decade or so ago and so it’s very nostalgic for me to visit. I enjoy rock climbing indoors at the Movement facilities and can’t stop ordering the vampire style asian beef tacos at the Yard House. I would take someone to Santa Fe street on on the first Friday of the month to check out their art walk. If I wanted to get a great meal and wonderful dining experience I would take someone to STK in Denver. If vegan I would take them to City O City!
