Let's create something extraordinary together.
There's something transformational about bringing your community together in a beautiful place, away from everyday life, to share a meaningful experience.
Whether you're dreaming of hosting your first retreat or planning your next one,
you don't have to do it alone.
This is where Leyana comes in.
You bring your community, your expertise, and your ideas. I'll bring my knowledge of France, the beautiful places I've discovered, and the people I trust. Together, we'll create a retreat that feels true to you and unforgettable for your community.
Your dream. Our expertise. One beautiful partnership.
The magic
is in the details.
Every retreat is different, and that's what I love about them.
I'll take the time to understand what you have in mind, what matters to your community, and the kind of experience you want to create.
From finding the right venue to bringing together wonderful chefs, trusted practitioners, and all the little details in between, I'll be there to make sure everything comes together.
So you can focus on what you love most: sharing your expertise, connecting with your community, and enjoying the experience alongside them.
Who I Work With
I help create retreats for any community:
Yoga
Pilates
Fitness
Dance
Cooking
Writing
Art
Wellness or creativity in any form
If you have a community you want to bring to France, this is for you, whether it's your first retreat or your fifth. Leyana also facilitates bespoke corporate wellness retreats for companies looking to bring their teams together.
The Process
From our first conversation to wrapping a successful retreat in France.
We talk
A discovery call to chat about your vision, your community, and what you want people to feel by the end of the retreat.
We build the brief
Format, location type, dates, price point, all tailored to you. Nothing is templated or generic.
We source and vet
Venue, chef and providers, all personally visited and approved before anything is confirmed.
You teach, we handle the rest
As much or as little support as you need, from logistics alone to running the entire experience under your name.
The retreat happens
And more often than not, the first question afterward is when you're doing the next one!
“I launched my first fitness retreat with Leyana and the process was not only fluid but it was fun to work with Pamela! A true partner fully vested in the success of the retreat I can’t wait to do another one with her!”
Ursula Nicolau, Fit-U Founder & Coach
The Leyana Promise
What we bring to your retreat.
The Leyana Approved Network offers venues, chefs and providers personally vetted by founder Pamela.
We bring over fifteen years living in France, with the language and cultural fluency to navigate the process on your behalf.
With twenty years of events and project management experience, we bring logistical know-how, strategy and flexibility.
We act as your bicultural, bilingual bridge between international instructors and a country that can otherwise feel hard to navigate from abroad.
Brand Partnerships
A little something extra for participants.
Leyana retreats can include a curated goodie bag for participants, and we're always looking for clean, organic French brands across cosmetics, wellness and lifestyle to feature in it. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
FAQs
Will working with a local partner mean giving up control of my retreat?
No. You dictate the format, the vision, the community, and everything people feel by the end of it. Leyana handles what happens around that, not instead of it!
Do I need a big following or years of experience to host a retreat?
Absolutely not. This is about your community trusting you, not the size of your following.
Does hosting in France require a big team or a big budget?
No, and that's exactly what Leyana replaces. You get one local partner, instead of a team you'd have to build and manage yourself.
What if my retreat doesn't fill?
This gets discussed openly from our first conversation. Every plan is built around realistic numbers for your specific community.
How do I know the venues and providers actually meet your standard?
Every recommendation has been personally visited, tasted or tested by Pamela before it's ever suggested to you.
