Restore your mind, body & soul
A calling to create a place where people heal
In December of 2020, a quiet piece of land in East Tennessee became something more than a farm — it became a calling. Founded by Lynn Carangelo after years of personal healing and growth, BellaSoul welcomes anyone seeking peace, connection, and a gentler pace of life.
Whether you come for healing, learning, or simply to be reminded of what matters — you're welcome here. This land heals, and we share it with the people who need it most.
Nature is our greatest teacher
Every pasture, every horse, every rescued animal, every native plant, every pollinator, every creek and spring, and every season has something to teach us. Here, we learn to slow down, be present, and pay attention.
We don't separate healing the land, healing the animals, and healing people — because they are all part of the same story. When we restore one, we help restore the others.
This isn't simply a farm. It is a living classroom where every experience offers an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to heal — because when we nurture the land, care for the animals, and reconnect with the natural world, we begin restoring something within ourselves as well.
— Lynn, Founder of BellaSoul Farm

“Working with horses is a privilege, not a right.”
Transformation, in their words
“I couldn't believe the transformation I experienced during my time at Root & Rein. Lynn and her team are truly amazing.”
“I have been to many retreats and workshops before, but none have had the lasting impact on me like Root & Rein. Thank you, Lynn!”
“I was hesitant because I have no horse experience whatsoever. I learned so much about myself and my potential.”
“One of the best investments I've made in myself. The activities were engaging and thought-provoking, and the facilitators incredibly knowledgeable.”
