November 4–8, 2026 The Royalton Hideaway Riviera Cancun Adults only 10 seats limited

You can be in a room full of people and still feel completely alone.

Grief and the great transitions of a life have a cruel way of isolating us, even while we are surrounded.

As the festive season arrives and the world starts performing its joy, your own light can feel fractured.

You do not have to mask your exhaustion or pretend to be okay for the comfort of others.

i.

The loss of a loved one

The quiet, devastating space left by a death, when the world expects you to have moved on and you have not.

ii.

The end of a relationship

A partnership, a friendship, a mentor, a role, or any meaningful connection. Even a bond that hurt you still deserves to be grieved, not shamed away.

iii.

The loss of a former self

The hidden grief of becoming someone new, while you are still learning who that person is.

A kaleidoscope takes fragments of glass that are broken, jagged, and scattered, and with a deliberate shift in light transforms them into a masterpiece.

We are not going to force your pieces back into a shape that no longer fits. Here, we look through a new lens, embrace the light, and let your current self safely unfold. This is what it means to live and let grow.

Healing is not a destination.It is a continuous becoming.

Grandmaster CandiChinwe Lee Pettie-Onuoha

A journey from the shore of who you were to the horizon of who you are becoming.

Five days, three phases. Move from arrival and grounding into release, reclamation, and a supported return home. Select any day to open its full itinerary.

Real stories from people who have experienced Candi’s care and healing work.

Highly recommend Candi. Her charisma, healing touch, soothing voice and singing made this one of the most therapeutic experiences I have had. If you are looking for holistic care, she is your go-to. She is very knowledgeable in so many natural remedies, healing techniques and modalities.

What stays with the people she has guided.

I am naturally skeptical, but I could feel what was happening: the warmth in my heart space, the vibration around my head, the security my body felt when she enveloped me with healing energy. You will be fortunate to receive.
Saj D. Virtual session, Malaysia
She helped me on my healing journey. A session with Master Candi is on a whole other level. She assisted me extremely well during a challenging period, when a lot of releasing had to be done.
Gwen LambrechtReiki healing journey
I had a panic attack, and Candi scheduled me right away. She gave such a strong, powerful session that I immediately felt better. She is compassionate, strong, and powerful.
Cathy KimEmergency session
Candi has an inviting presence and made sure I was comfortable before we began. Afterward I felt uplifted and encouraged, with a sense of lightness in my whole being.

A few things worth knowing.

Clear expectations are part of feeling held. Here are the practical details guests most often want before choosing their place in the circle.

Clarity before commitment
Is airfare included in the retreat investment?

Airfare is not included. Once you arrive at Cancun International Airport (CUN), complimentary shared round-trip airport shuttle transportation is included in your retreat experience.

Do I need prior experience with breathwork or Reiki?

None at all. The retreat is designed for all experience levels, and Candi guides each practice step by step. You are always encouraged to honor your body, your boundaries and your own pace.

Can I come to the retreat by myself?

Yes. Many guests arrive independently. The circle is intentionally limited to 10 people, with shared experiences and communal meals designed to create connection without asking you to perform or arrive with someone else.

Are meals included?

Yes. All-inclusive luxury dining and 24-hour room service are included. The itinerary also makes room for communal meals, quiet nourishment and the premium Hibachi experience.

What is the room occupancy setup?

The General Alignment tier includes a luxury suite with double occupancy, shared with another retreat guest. The Executive VIP Catalyst tier includes a private, single-occupancy sanctuary suite.

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

Because the retreat is limited to 10 participants and resort accommodations are secured well in advance, all deposits and registration fees are non-refundable. If Kaleidoscope Healing must cancel the retreat, registration fees will be refunded, but outside costs such as airfare are not covered.

Should I purchase travel insurance?

Yes. We strongly recommend comprehensive third-party travel insurance, ideally with Cancel For Any Reason coverage, to protect your retreat investment, airfare and unexpected medical or travel interruptions. Kaleidoscope Healing does not endorse a particular insurance carrier.

What travel documents am I responsible for?

You are responsible for a valid passport, any required visa, airline requirements and current Mexican entry and customs rules. Please verify the requirements that apply to your nationality and itinerary before booking. A denied boarding or entry decision does not qualify for a refund.

Is this retreat a substitute for medical care or therapy?

No. Gateway to Gratitude offers holistic, energetic and educational wellness experiences. Candi is an energetic practitioner, not a licensed medical doctor, psychiatrist or mental health therapist. Please consult an appropriate healthcare professional before registering if you have medical or mental health concerns.

The golden gateway to the sea at sunset

The gateway is open.

You do not have to take the next step alone.

If this retreat feels like the space you have been searching for, I invite you to apply for a Holiday Gratitude Scholarship. I would be honored to meet you at the gateway.
