Embody Gratitude All Year Long at Four Seasons Resort Lanai

Guests can welcome each month with a new theme inspired by gratitude at Hawanawana Spa at Four Seasons Resort Lanai with programming that leads guests through a balance of celebration and restoration through the seasons.

With Embody Gratitude, Caroline Joseph Reese, Hawanawana Spa’s Wellness Practitioner, offers monthly activities designed to help express one’s full potential, encouraging active participation in living life with intention and personal responsibility. By introducing new patterns of thoughts and feelings, guests will learn how to change actions and beliefs by breaking down cultural and societal barriers to gain a fresh perspective and encourage healing.

Each season embodies a phase - Reveal, Release, Rewire, Rise - of transformation that flows through spa experiences, guided wellness offerings and movement classes, with specific themes each month.

“Embody Gratitude is more than a program – it’s an invitation to reflect, connect, and restore through intentional wellness experiences that weave gratitude into every aspect of life at Four Seasons Resort Lanai,” says Caroline Joseph Reese.

With multiple wellness certifications, Caroline provides instruction and coaching in meditation, yoga, self-care, and empowerment. Using a variety of practices, including reiki and sound, she enjoys combining modalities to personalize experiences that encourage deeper connections with the self.

Reveal is designed to awaken awareness as the new year begins.  In January, 2026 the silver glow of a new moon illustrates the nature of reflection – a time to review, then move forward with purpose.

Guests can explore stress management and emotional release through a private Thought Field Therapy session, a meditation class or a group Meditation under the stars, where the secluded island’s lack of light pollution allows infinite number of twinkling stars to shine above. In the spa, a Deep Sea Cleanse sets the tone for revitalization in the new year through a mineralizing sea salt scrub with purifying algae.

February centres around self-love and connection. The soothing energy of rose quartz encourages the cultivation of meaningful presence with oneself and others.  Couples can journey towards tranquillity with a Personalized Healing Session, and explore methods tailored to promote relaxation and well-being – including meditation, sound, breathwork or energy healing.  In the spa, couples can relax together in Suite Serenity, which includes a Body and Massage Ritual paired with luxury facials and light-fare dining for two in a private couples suite. 

Or guests can learn methods to develop  increased awareness and help draw energy away from distressed thoughts and feelings in a private HeartMath Meditation session.

March heralds a change of season with Release — inviting guests to soften, unclench, and let go of what no longer serves. It is said that awareness is the first act of self-care, guests are invited to release unconscious patterns and realign mind and body after winter stagnation with a Crystal Reiki: Reveal session to support emotional clarity.   

Guests can slow down and reconnect to their inner compass in a Cocoon Sound Bath, while Radiance Circuit training builds resilience without force. In the spa, the restorative Mauli Ola massage is rooted in the pursuit of complete well-being in body, mind and spirit. Sip 'awa (kava), a traditional Polynesian beverage then let flowing, rhythmic techniques ease tension, promote circulation and restore balance, with a hydrating drink to welcome harmony and renewal.

The rest of the year will welcome Rewire (June–August) where guests can create new pathways while Rise (September – November) highlights gratitude and growth with another collection of services and wellness experiences.

Hawanawana Spa, whose Hawaiian name translates to whispering ocean, offers a range of Spa and Salon services available to book via Four Seasons website or mobile app. Renewal begins upon entering the sanctuary and continues as therapists customize every treatment to each guest, to best achieve one’s goals, while elements of the ocean and island are expertly combined with innovative techniques to create experiences that soothe the mind, body and spirit. Multifaceted instructors offer a variety of indoor and outdoor classes, such as Beach Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Cocoon Sound Bath, Kid‘s Yoga and more. Check the daily online calendar for details.
