RITES de PASSAGE

This multidimensional container offers real-time, deeply attuned guidance for those moving through meaningful life transitions.

There are seasons that ask something more of us—when the familiar no longer fits, and something deeper begins to stir. Sometimes the change is named: birth, loss, marriage, divorce, menopause, career shifts, a child leaving home. Other times it’s more diffuse—a creative awakening, a shift in identity, spiritual initiation, the quiet knowing that life is reorienting. Burnout. Completion. A threshold that hasn’t yet been spoken, but is already underway.

These passages ask to be honored.

In times past, transitions like these were marked with ceremony, witnessed in community, and given rhythm, language, and care. That scaffolding may no longer be intact, but the need remains—to slow down, to mark what’s ending, and to cross into what’s next with presence.

That’s the heart of this work.

Each mentorship is shaped by your lived experience. We move through the full arc of your passage—acknowledging what’s been, staying present in the in-between, and supporting what’s ready to take form.

This process draws from a rich field of modalities I’ve spent decades refining and integrating: somatic and energetic practices, spiritual mentorship, ancestral and inner child inquiry, ritual design, traditional herbalism, grief tending, voice and storytelling, dreamwork, deep listening, and land-based reflection. These elements are woven with care and precision, guided by the unique rhythm of your transition.

This is a space to listen deeply. To move deliberately. To be met in what matters.

From one bank of the river to the other, this is a guided crossing.

If you feel the momentum of change—subtle or seismic—and want to move through it with intention, this mentorship offers a space of clarity, attunement, and meaningful support.

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.
