RITES de PASSAGE
For when the familiar no longer fits, and something deeper begins to stir.
This private mentorship is a multidimensional container for meaningful life transitions—those thresholds when what once made sense no longer holds, and new truth begins to rise. Sometimes the shift is clearly named: birth, death, adolescence, motherhood, menopause, marriage, divorce, career transformation, a child leaving home. Other times it’s more diffuse: an unraveling of identity, a creative awakening, a spiritual initiation, or the quiet knowing that life is reorienting itself beneath the surface.
In times past, such passages were honored with ritual and rhythm, witnessed in community, and held with reverence. That scaffolding may no longer be intact, but the need remains—to mark what’s ending, tend the space between, and cross into what’s next with intention.
This is a guided crossing—shaped by your lived experience and supported by decades of integrative practice. Together, we move through the full arc of your passage, drawing from somatic and energetic modalities, spiritual counsel, ritual design, ancestral and inner child inquiry, grief tending, storytelling, dreamwork, eco-psychology, and more. Each thread is woven to meet the specific rhythm of your becoming.
Each passage is unique and personal—
designed to offer you exquisite support and finely attuned guidance.
This is the kind of presence longed for in life’s most tender thresholds—
a way of being held that honors the depth of your becoming

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.
