What We Do
Sensei is an evidenced-based company that develops technology and offers healthier living programs and services to help people find greater wellbeing. Its first retreat is located at the Sensei Lānaʻi, A Four Seasons Resort on Larry Ellison’s secluded Hawaiian island of Lānaʻi, is where people come to learn the Sensei Way philosophy in the most luxurious and inspiring settings. Each guest’s stay is highly customized to help align their actions with their intentions by offering private wellness consultations, small indoor and outdoor classes, relaxing treatments in individual spa hales, outdoor adventures and innovative dining guided by the Sensei nutritional philosophy.
Sensei's retreat, as well as its sister company Sensei Ag, brings to life the vision of two people motivated by a shared purpose: to help people live longer, healthier lives. Larry Ellison, a technology pioneer and co-founder of Oracle, and, Dr. David Agus, a world-leading physician and scientist, formed Sensei Holdings Inc. to develop wellness retreats and controlled environmental agriculture (CEA) and nutritionally dense food. In the summer of 2020 Sensei Holdings, Inc., bifurcated the agriculture and leisure travel units into Sensei Wellness Holdings, Inc., and Sensei Ag Holdings, Inc., to allow each company its own growth trajectory. The wellness retreats component retained the singular Sensei name and our sister company, commonly known as Sensei Farms, now operates as Sensei Ag.
