An Unbridled Retreat: Experience Women-Only Equine Coaching at Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort

Find clarity and inspiration through the healing power of horses at an Unbridled Retreat for women July 23-27, 2025 at the adults-only Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort.

During the five-day, four-night program at the Hawaii wellness retreat, women will be empowered through daily coaching sessions in the arena designed to break down inhibitions, stimulate creativity and help participants unlock their full potential. The intimate group setting provides support along with personal attention, camaraderie, and restorative amenities on a 24-acre (9.7 hectare) sanctuary surrounded by rolling hills, monumental artwork and botanical gardens.

Globally-recognized equine coach Devon Combs specializes in helping women heal from their past, get clear on where they are headed and find the courage to move forward in their lives. Her synergy with horses and intuitive coaching provides breakthroughs for women seeking joyous transformation. Having experienced the healing power of horses herself, Devon now dedicates her time bringing women and horses together in a safe space where she teaches people how to let go of self-sabotage and pick up the reins of their lives.

Relaxation begins with a seamless transfer at the Honolulu airport, where guests are escorted to a private hangar before flying to the island on Lanai Air.  Over the course of five days, Devon will guide participants through hands-on coaching sessions in the arena. The Unbridled Retreat is a profound, life-changing experience that leads women to immediate and positive change. Guests will share moments with horses that will alter the way they see themselves, reveal pathways they didn’t know existed, and help them become their most courageous, authentic selves.

Once the site of the ranching operations on the island, the Koele area is the backdrop to a guided horseback ride with stunning vistas of neighbour islands. Guests also enjoy a sunset sail on Lanai II, a 65 foot (20 metre) luxury catamaran to take in the splendid views of the dramatic coastline and aquatic life along with evening pupus. Indulge with treatments such as aquatic bodywork and lomi lomi or a Sensei Active Toning Facial in a 1,000 square foot (93 square metre) spa hale featuring infrared saunas, steam rooms, indoor and outdoor showers, and ofuro baths. Or delve into wellness with a  private 1:1 consultation.  Round out an itinerary with complimentary fitness, yoga or meditation classes.

Dining options include Sensei by Nobu, where dishes bring together world-renowned Japanese Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s classics as well as menu selections that incorporate Sensei’s nutritional (Nourish) philosophy, as well as the Koele Garden Bar for casual  meals.  Guests can also enjoy transportation to Four Seasons Resort Lanai, beach access and signing privileges at Malibu Farm, the island outpost of the coastal favourite, featuring fresh, farm-to-table dishes. 

The retreat closes with a group ceremony led by Devon to reflect on personal takeaways, leaving guests with a renewed focus and clarity about who they are, what they desire, and how to move forward to create a positive future.
