JALENE SMITH — RETREAT & EXPERIENCE PLANNER
You bring
the vision.
I build the whole thing.
I design and execute retreats, brand experiences, and live events that leave people full. The kind of experiences that change the room… and the people in it.

HEY, I’M JALENE
The planner who's been there — literally.
I've been to 20 countries, planned seven-figure retreats in Bora Bora, coordinated private flights in Puerto Rico, booked speakers like Liz Gilbert and Martha Beck, and produced a national film premiere. Logistics isn't just what I do; it's genuinely how my brain works.
I bring that same obsessive attention to detail to every experience I touch, whether it's an intimate wellness retreat or a 70-person international brand trip.
“
I don't just plan events. I architect the moments people replay on the flight home.
Every venue, every vendor, every run-of-show detail — handled with intention so the experience feels effortless for everyone in the room.
How I move
in the world.
01
I say what I'll do and do what I say. I expect the same from collaborators and clients.
04
No gatekeeping
There's room for everyone at the table. I actively hold the door open, and I work with people who do the same.
Accountability, always
Every experience I design centers the humans in the room… their safety, comfort, and joy are non-negotiable.
05
Growth over comfort
I'm always learning. The work should push everyone forward. Me included.
03
These aren't just nice words. They're how I work and who I work with.
Individuality is the point
02
People first. Full stop.
Cookie-cutter experiences are boring. I build things that reflect who you actually are.
WHAT I OFFER
Pick your experience.
Retreats, events, and the operational backbone to hold it all together.
