November 12-13, 2026
You are invited to join me (Lyn Johnson)and a small group of women for our Paradise Meadows Fall Heartistry Retreat!
The purpose of the Fall Heartistry Retreat is to provide:
a “prepared place” where women can be surrounded by beauty, order and creativity.
a “set apart” time to slow down, relax and be refreshed.
a community of like-minded women who will listen, share and pray.
Storytime when we will share Heartistry truths and impart hope and encouragement.
This break away from the busyness of home will give us the opportunity to step into peace as we allow our hearts to enjoy the beauty and quiet at Paradise Meadows.
For these twenty four hours, you won’t have to plan, cook, clean or even think about what needs to be done next. All you’ll need to decide is with whom you want to have a deep conversation, or where you’ll snuggle up with your tea to read and journal for the next couple of hours!
This will be the perfect opportunity to get rested and refreshed and ready for the busy holiday season.
Where will the Retreat be?
We will gather at our property in Signal Mountain, Tennessee, just 30 minutes out of Chattanooga. We will host this time away in our beautiful, Scandinavian style Farmhouse that sits on two acres of meadows and trees, adjacent to a 40 acre farm.
Meals will be served at the Farmhouse and also in our own home, a five minute walk away.
Eleven women can be accommodated (two per room) in our adorable, retro Tiny House, the art-filled bedrooms of our Farmhouse and in our glamping tent. Guests who register first will be able to select their choice of accommodation.

Accommodation
We are able to accommodate 11 women in three very different (and beautiful) places on our Paradise Meadows property. The first women to book will be able to choose where they want to stay.
The Farmhouse- The photos of our Farmhouse bedrooms show king beds, but they will be split apart to be twin XL’s with a bedside table in-between so you’ll have your own bed! You can choose the Blue Room, The Peach Room or the Yellow Room!
The Tiny House- In the Tiny House one person will be in the queen loft bed, and one in the full bed on the ground floor.
The Glamping Tent- In the tent, we have a king bed, a twin bed and a twin trundle. One guest will be in the king bed (who’s the lucky girl?), and two on twin beds.
Some guests will stay in our home.
