About Raven Ioneh ☯
Raven Ioneh, the human behind Kindred Soul Tending,
makes her home with her patient partner and children in California’s Western Sonoma County, traditional home of Pomo, Coast Miwok and Wappo peoples, beneath Oak, Bay Laurel, Redwood and Eucalyptus, finding her way without twisting ankles in gopher’s holes or treading on lizard’s tail, appreciating the vibrancy of golden poppies, aiding fungi by dropkicking their caps into the woods, and generally swooning at the beauty of the place she calls Home.
On her winding path, Raven has been waylaid by curiosity in many fields, including therapeutic bodywork, herbalism, community-led deathcare, ancestral foodways and skills, lay ecology, permaculture, voluntary simplicity, natural childbirth/child rearing, and unschooling, to name a few realms of study and practice.
Answering the call to Guide
Purpose Guiding™ and Soul Tending have given Raven a means to share from the collection of wisdom she has been harvesting over years of listening to wiser beings, tapping trees and burrowing down in the earth for guidance from the more-than-human, and digesting the bitter medicine of these times. She completed her studies with the Purpose Guides Institute in the springtime of 2024 and is a member of PGI’s Mentor’s Circle.
In her vision, Humanity must awaken in the dark to the truth of our interbeing and, upon waking, remember and restore our identity as integral keystone species, rooting ourselves in sacred responsibility to the Whole Earth Community. She believes it is time to remember, renew, and restore humankind’s sacred responsibility and sacred relationship to Earth as Beloved and ourselves as Beloved by Earth—to take refuge in communion with the Land and each other, rooted and resilient, as we enter the Long Dark together.
