1:1 MENTORSHIP
Initiation — noun
A passage through which the soul is reoriented toward deeper truth.
It is a living process—an intimate encounter with the parts of you ready to be released and the truer self rising to meet you. This is the threshold where wisdom becomes embodied and life begins to reorganize around who you are becoming.
1:1 Mentorship: A Living Initiation
When you step into this mentorship, you are entering a living process of initiation—a modern Rite of Passage designed to guide you through profound transformation and support your integration. Each session builds upon the next in a meaningful arc, attuned to the terrain you are navigating and the season of life you are crossing.
Rooted in the architecture of the seven directions, this work draws upon the full breadth of my practice. It may include psycho-spiritual inquiry, intuitive guidance, traditional herbalism, somatic movement, eco-therapy, ritual design, creative exploration, energy attunement, and frameworks drawn from cosmology and living cycles that help you locate yourself within larger patterns of meaning and becoming.
Together, we move through what is ready to release and what is asking to emerge. We listen to the intelligence of your body, your lineage, and the land around you. The mentorship becomes a dialogue between your soul and your becoming—an initiation into clarity, embodied wisdom, and the next chapter of your life.
If you are standing at a threshold—this mentorship offers a place of orientation, companionship, and profound recalibration. A space where your truth is welcomed, your courage is witnessed, and your transformation is held with depth, discernment, and devotion, so you can step forward aligned with who you are here to become.

YOUR GUIDE | EVE GAINES
Eve Gaines is dedicated to guiding individuals through life’s transitions by creating spaces and experiences that connect them to their highest selves and soul paths. With a background in medical and psychological anthropology focused on rites and rituals, Eve brings a deep understanding of the human condition and the connection between inner experiences and outer realities.
As a seasoned ceremonialist, she curates meaningful initiatory experiences and life cycle rituals, with a particular passion for addressing the absence of such rituals for women in Western culture—a topic she explored in her honors thesis. Her academic studies in eco-psychology and embodied leadership, combined with extensive training in holistic wellness, yoga therapy, and somatic integration, enrich her work.
Eve’s approach is also informed by her apprenticeship with expert teachers and elders across diverse healing practices and traditions. She recognizes that both our deepest traumas and greatest potentials reside within, guiding individuals to navigate these depths with clarity and growth.
Eve feels deeply connected to the 20 acres of sacred land she stewards in the Santa Monica Mountains, where RITUEL was born and continues to thrive as a sanctuary for growth and renewal.
