YOUR GUIDE EVE GAINES
Through my studies in Medical and Psychological Anthropology, I gained insight into the crucial role of immersive healing experiences in fostering well-being in diverse cultures. It became evident that modern Western societies lack a comparable comprehensive approach to supporting individuals through life's transitions and challenges. This understanding formed the core of my honors thesis, which examined the implications of this lack.
Motivated by this understanding, we crafted our Wellness Sabbaticals with the aim of establishing a fresh paradigm of care that holistically nurtures individuals through their journey of change.
As a seasoned ceremonialist, I have a long-standing reverence and a deep love of designing experiences that help guide people across thresholds in their lives. I’ve also had the privilege of learning traditional healing practice with elders from a myriad of traditions.
I feel deeply honored to have collaborated with our exceptional team of practitioners and visionaries in bringing this concept to life. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you to our program and to support your healing, growth, and evolution.

THE NATURE REFUGE
is an exquisite sanctuary nestled high in the Santa Monica Mountains, in an area that stays particularly lush and green year-round. It features breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean from up high, often above the clouds.
The retreat was designed to add luxurious amenities into the natural setting in a harmonious way. It includes indoor and outdoor spaces including welcoming safari tents that serve as relaxation and treatment rooms. It also features a nature labyrinth, meditation gardens, an outdoor bathhouse with a soaking tub and shower.
Flanked by land that is a nature preserve, the property has miles of scenic hiking trails that weave through the hills, which are alive with pristine coastal chaparral vegetation and outcroppings of beige and pink granite boulders.
THE GATEWAYS
We believe that addressing the complexity of the individual human experience and integrating healing modalities that attune to each of these layers is a powerful pathway to transformation and optimal well being.
