Founding Rituel Retreats pt 2: Eve Gaines on the Non-Linear Path + the Courageous Purchase of 20 Acres Against All Logic

Seasoned Business Growth Strategist Trinity Rose sits down with Eve Gaines—founder of Ritual Retreats, for a heartfelt conversation about purpose, place, and building something sacred from the ground up. Together, they trace the nonlinear evolution of Eve’s path—from early explorations in anthropology and cultural influence, to creative partnership, parenthood, and the founding vision behind a wellness sanctuary nestled in the Topanga mountains. They explore how love, intuition, and resilience have shaped the Ritual Retreats story—and what it really means to hold vision through uncertainty, especially when building a values-aligned business rooted in trust, healing, and home.Time Stamps 00:00 The Journey Begins: Listening to the Universe03:01 Building Ritual Retreats: A Creative Collaboration06:02 Love and Partnership: The Story of Eve and Glenn12:08 Cultural Influences: The Path to Anthropology17:59 Finding Home: The Move to California23:58 Creating a Life Together: Parenthood and New Beginnings30:01 The Magic of Topanga Canyon: A New Chapter31:50 Finding a New Home and Redefining Possibilities33:53 Exploring the Vision for Wellness38:04 The Journey to Purchasing Land46:04 Navigating Challenges in Home Ownership53:58 The Decision to Keep the PropertyGuest InfoEve Gaines — is the founder of Rituel Retreats, a wellness space rooted in healing, collaboration, and connection to land.Website: rituelretreats.comInstagram: @rituellife Host Info: Trinity Rose - Integrative Business Strategist and Advisor to early-stage foundersWebsite: ⁠illumeconsultingstudio.com Instagram: @illumeconsultingstudio Course: illumeconsultingstudio.com/embodied-branding
