“Eve created an exquisite ceremony when I transitioned into a new career and to launch my new business. She was very thoughtful, intentional, and supportive during and through the entire process. She took the time to make sure she understood each element of what would be represented, left behind & brought energetically into this next chapter & connected with each guest in advance so they could offer a contribution or prayer. She took the time to get clear on my intention & what I wanted to share as I walked this new path. I had time to sit with her and the land in sessions before we began and after the rite of passage journey and that meant so much to me. She curated a visually emotionally & physically beautiful space that felt full of love and support for this special time. It was a space that encouraged vulnerability, connection, community and a portal to usher in a new path. I would highly recommend working with Eve, her strong feminine energy made me feel supported, loved, seen and heard. Eve is pure magic and she brings this magic with her and sprinkles it onto everything she does. She has a very gentle, nurturing way.” - Shannon

“Eve is love embodied. The way she is able to see others as they truly are no matter what they are going through is a true gift. She holds space for the most tender and difficult moments and energetically holds your hand while she walks you across the bridge of change and stays with you on the other side until you feel safe to walk alone. She is a true visionary that carves a beautiful path for all. Her intuition is a loving guide that's supported by her years of studied knowledge and wisdom. The care she provides for her land is the same care infused into her profoundly personalized Rites of Passage. I truly feel so grateful for Eve & couldn't imagine this time without her love & wisdom.” - Juliette

“Eve created a magical experience for our family blessing ceremony that we will remember forever. She weaved in blessings for our baby, our new roles as parents, and our new home, which was incredibly special to us. From the words Eve spoke to the flowers and crystals that were chosen, everything was so meaningfully put together to honor this new chapter and transition. We were moved to tears by her warmth and care and the love she poured into the ceremony. Thank you, Eve, for holding such a beautiful, and sacred blessing for our family.” -Kristina

“Modern life can often feel empty, as we suffer through an epidemic of loneliness despite our digital ability to connect like never before. The lost art of human connection, of celebrating our life’s moments with depth and reverence, has drifted through our busied fingers. Eve helps us close our hands around our hearts, around our humanity, and brings us back to a lost art…of finding one’s self in the presence of a ceremony, guided by a wise and wonderful soul. Give yourself the honored gift of sitting with Eve. My life has felt all the richer for it”. - Christina

“I had the privilege of attending a Celebration of Life ceremony led by Eve Gaines at Rituel Retreats. My brother and sister and I, along with our spouses and children gathered together at the top of the Santa Monica mountains. The stunning backdrop of the mountains and sky and ocean comforted us and created an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. It was an incredibly spiritual and profoundly beautiful experience. Eve led the ceremony with grace and compassion. Her words resonated deeply, capturing the essence of our parent’s lives. The thoughtful ceremony that she crafted helped us to process the significance of their passing on a profound level. It was a truly unforgettable tribute to our parents, filled with love, reverence, and a sense of unity among all who attended. I am forever grateful for Eve’s guidance and the sacred space she created for us to honor and celebrate our parents. There are no words to express how much it meant and will always mean. It will influence generations to come”. - Dana

“I enjoyed the most incredible solo day retreat at Rituel. Every experience and treatment I received was sublime and the setting is awe inspiring and beautiful. The day ended with a ceremony that Eve designed in honor of my 50th birthday. It made me feel so seen and loved and brought me to tears. I left feeling like a completely different person, a whole new version of myself! I am now excited about this next chapter in my life. What a gift! I cannot recommend this experience enough. Heartfelt thanks, for everything!” - Liz

Having Life Passage sessions with Eve over these last several months has been absolutely life changing. I started feeling like I was at a crossroads and seeking support and guidance and what I was brought back to was a true sense of confidence and connection to who I am and where I want to take my life from here. It feels like we peeled back so many layers that were holding me back from trusting myself and now I feel free and powerful. Work with Eve if you have the opportunity, she is a true miracle worker and radiates so much love. - Bethany
