This immersion is guided by Eve Gaines, founder of RITUEL — a ceremonialist and threshold guide devoted to supporting women through life’s passages with clarity and grace. Eve brings deep reverence for ritual traditions and long experience in crafting ceremonies that open the way for transformation and meaningful change.
Alongside these guest facilitators — powerhouse women who embody the richness and possibility of this passage — you’ll engage in somatic practices, nature-based ritual, creative exercises, reflection, and conversation that speaks all the way to the marrow.
Tia Matza — actor, wellness coach, and creative force guiding embodied practices to awaken vitality.
Leanne Hirsch of Perfumera Curendera — opening the multi-sensory art of fragrance as ritual, memory, and medicine.
Deborah Medow — co-founder of Esalen Massage, bringing decades of wisdom in bodywork and healing, guiding pathways into embodied liberation.
This immersion is both practical and poetic: a place to experience your body as oracle, your voice as sharpened truth, and your intuition as a steady companion.
Together, we’ll explore:
Midlife as initiation — a rite that awakens clarity, courage, and vitality
The reclamation of self — beyond roles, into the essence of who you truly are
Beauty as alchemy — where time shapes radiance, deepens strength, and reveals freedom
The evolution of purpose — leadership rooted in wisdom, creativity, and legacy
Living embodiment — grounding power, sustaining wellbeing, inhabiting life fully
A Season of Generosity
This season has reminded us just how generous and interconnected our community truly is. Many of you have reached out with open hearts, asking how you can support Rituel as we rebuild, reimagine, and grow.
In response, we’ve opened a Benefactor Tier. If it’s within your means, this is a way to contribute directly to the sustainment of Rituel—supporting the land, the spaces we tend, and the offerings we’re devoted to sharing. Your generosity helps us continue this work in integrity and expansion. Please reach out to learn more.
In the same spirit, we’re also holding 1–2 scholarship spaces for each of our offerings. We believe deeply in access, and these spaces are available to those who feel called to the work but may need financial support to participate.
Whether you are giving, receiving, or somewhere in between—thank you for being part of this living, evolving community.

This immersion includes an initial private intake session, followed by a series of four in-person, three-hour gatherings. To support your integration and growth throughout the process, bi-weekly check-ins are also included.
