RITES de PASSAGE
Rites de Passage are profound initiations—guiding you through life’s most transformative transitions with clarity, strength, and alignment to your truest essence. These experiences offer a potent yet practical framework to honor change, integrate growth, and move forward with deep intention.
Rooted in ancient traditions, Rites de Passage illuminate life’s pivotal thresholds—moments where reflection and recalibration are essential. They transform uncertainty into wisdom, challenges into growth, and transitions into opportunities to reconnect with what matters most. Whether stepping into a new chapter, navigating profound change, or seeking deeper alignment with your purpose, these passages invite you to honor life’s turning points with reverence and courage, reclaim your innate power, and step into the next phase of your evolution with clarity and conviction.
Each experience weaves together counseling, coaching, spiritual guidance, and ritual facilitation, creating a deeply supportive and intentional space. Through this process, you’ll explore your inner landscape, gain insight into your unfolding journey, and take purposeful steps toward what’s next.
For those seeking a single-session experience, we also offer Threshold Ceremonies—a distilled yet potent version of Rites de Passage. These ceremonies capture the essence of life’s turning points, weaving timeless ritual with your personal story to create a deeply resonant and transformative experience in just one session.

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.
