RITES de PASSAGE
Rites de Passage are personal initiations, designed to guide you through life’s turning points with insight, strength, and alignment to your truest essence. Each experience is crafted to help you navigate transitions with the wisdom of your soul and the clarity to move forward on your path.
Since ancient times, rites of passage have marked key moments of personal and spiritual growth, honoring the cosmic cycles that shape us. Embracing these rites now invites you to step into the rhythm of your own transformation, meeting life’s changes as opportunities for deeper self-knowledge and authentic growth. Whether you’re entering a new life phase, moving through profound change, or seeking alignment with your soul’s calling, each Rite de Passage connects you more deeply to your ideal path.
Through weaving together holistic support, including counseling, coaching, spiritual guidance, and ritual facilitation, a compassionate space is forged, where you can honor, understand, and navigate these essential phases. Each experience culminates in an Integration Ceremony, honoring this chapter of your story and grounding you in the wisdom gained.
Rites de Passage invite profound growth, connecting you more deeply to yourself and your life’s unfolding purpose. Embrace this journey as an invitation to heal, nurture your greatest gifts, and step boldly into the next evolution of your being.

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 wealth of knowledge and compassion, Eve’s approach is grounded in a deep understanding of the human condition and the intricate relationship between our inner experiences and outer realities.
As a long-time ceremonialist, Eve brings a profound respect for life’s transitions, drawing on her honors degree in medical and psychological anthropology with a focus on rites and rituals. Her passion lies in curating and guiding meaningful initiatory experiences and life cycle rituals. Her thesis, which explored the absence of life cycle rituals for women in Western culture, highlights the unique challenges women face as they mature without the necessary honoring and support.
Eve’s academic background is enriched by her studies in eco-psychology and embodied leadership. She has taught and guided numerous programs in holistic wellness, yoga therapy, and somatic integration. Additionally, she has apprenticed with expert teachers and elders in a wide range of healing practices and ceremonial traditions.
Her deep understanding of the human psyche and its need for connection and healing informs all her work. Eve recognizes that our deepest traumas and greatest potentials reside within, and through her guidance, individuals can navigate these depths to find clarity and growth. Eve feels profoundly grateful to steward 20 acres of sacred land in the Santa Monica Mountains, the birthplace of RITUEL, where she continues to create a sanctuary for transformation and healing.
