Authentic YOU · A Private Equine Learning Experience

Come exactly as you are. Leave more fully yourself.

Created for mothers and daughters, sisters, lifelong friends, mentors and mentees, and women who want to deepen an important relationship while reconnecting with themselves.

For One Unforgettable Weekend

Step away from the noise

Slow down.

Breathe deeply.

Reconnect with yourself.

Strengthen a relationship that matters.

Experience the extraordinary wisdom of horses in a peaceful setting where there is nothing to prove and nowhere else you need to be.

Nestled in the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest, Authentic You is Root & Rein's signature immersive experience, thoughtfully designed to create space for reflection, meaningful conversation, authentic connection, and personal growth.

Arrive Friday evening, settle into the peaceful rhythm of BellaSoul Farm, and spend the next two days immersed in experiences that invite you to reconnect with yourself, with one another, and with what matters most.

Authentic You is facilitated using the internationally recognized Equine Connection® Equine Assisted Learning model. As a Certified Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator, Lynn Carangelo is part of the global Equine Connection community, bringing a proven experiential learning approach to BellaSoul Farm while creating a one-of-a-kind immersive experience unique to Root & Rein.

More Than a Getaway

More Than a Getaway

This isn't another mindset class.

It isn't another self-help workshop.

And it isn't about someone telling you who you should become.

Authentic You is a two-day immersive experience of reconnecting with who you truly are through authenticity, clarity, and the quiet honesty of horses. There is no judgment here. No pressure. No expectations of who you should be.

Only presence.

Honest feedback.

Meaningful experiences.

Supportive guidance.

And the opportunity to return to the version of yourself that has been there all along.

Invest in a Relationship That Matters

Who would you bring?

  • The friend who's walked beside you through life's hardest seasons.
  • Your daughter.
  • Your sister.
  • The mentor who changed your life.
  • The woman who has always believed in you.

Whoever she is… this is your chance to invest in your relationship and yourselves.

What You Will Experience

Guided by the quiet honesty of horses

Through thoughtfully guided Equine Assisted Learning experiences, you'll have the opportunity to:

🐴 Tune into your body instead of living in your head.
🌿 Create space to let go of what no longer serves you.
🤍 Build trust in yourself and your instincts.
✨ Discover what you truly need.
🌾 Experience greater calm, confidence, and clarity.
💛 Strengthen one of the relationships that matters most.
🌸 Reconnect with your authentic self.

The horses won't tell you what to think. They simply invite you to become aware of what has been true all along.

The goal isn't to become someone new. It's to remember the person you've been all along.

All-Inclusive

The moments in between

Some of the most meaningful moments aren't scheduled. They're discovered.

  • Walk beside Spring Creek.
  • Watch the horses grazing peacefully.
  • Explore the pollinator gardens.
  • Take a quiet hike through the woods.
  • Journal on the porch.
  • Sip herbal tea.
  • Rest.
  • Reflect.

Because transformation doesn't only happen during the experiences.

It often unfolds in the quiet moments that follow.

A Select Number Each Season

Intentionally limited

To preserve the deeply personal nature of each experience, we welcome only a select number of Authentic You experiences each season.

Each experience is reserved for one pair of participants, allowing us to create an unhurried, personalized journey where you can fully immerse yourself in the experience, the horses, and the peaceful rhythm of BellaSoul Farm.

If something about this experience speaks to you… trust that feeling.

We would be honored to welcome you.
