Event: Work Day 🪴
July 19th, 9:30 a.m. to noon – refreshments following
Hi everyone, we’re looking forward to seeing some of you at this Saturday’s Work Day! Please let me know if you would like to attend so that we can keep an eye out for you! Come join us in making like these busy bumblebees tending to the bee balm in front of our house…
A time to connect with the land and each other through the practical work of the upkeep of the sanctuary. No experience is necessary. You may be weeding a garden bed, carrying wood, cleaning out a chicken coop, or prepping materials for one of our classes. But whatever it is, your contribution will be so appreciated, and will give you a chance to join in community and create a beautiful space for many to enjoy.
We also welcome you to contact us to arrange for other times as we are very flexible outside of our scheduled work days.
Please RSVP by Thursday, July 17th if you would like to attend our community work day so we can prepare accordingly. You are welcome to message us here, or email crossinghedgerowssanctuary@gmail.com
Much love,
Jean

Jean Cavanaugh is the founder and steward of Crossing Hedgerows Sanctuary, established in 2019 as a living, learning community devoted to reconnecting people with the wisdom of nature, the sacred order of creation, and the presence of Christ within all life. Her work brings together spiritual formation, ecological stewardship, ancestral wisdom, and hands-on community practice.
Through years of practical work on the land, study of the Mysteries, and the healing of her own severe health challenges through natural methods, Jean has come to recognize God’s hand at work throughout creation. Her teachings, rooted in the Mystery School tradition and Christian gnosis, explore how the patterns of heaven, earth, and the human body reveal the way back to divine presence, peace, and inner strength.
Jean leads with honesty, integrity, and a deeply welcoming spirit, inviting others to let go of inherited assumptions and rediscover truth through lived experience and embodied understanding. She works with all ages—from preschoolers to elders—offering programs and celebrations that emphasize direct engagement with nature, music, story, homesteading skills, and in-person community.
She and her family live at the 21-acre Crossing Hedgerows Sanctuary, where daily life reflects a commitment to simplicity, beauty, and harmony with the land. The sanctuary includes gardens, woodland trails, a seasonal creek, gathering circles, and spaces designed to nourish both people and wildlife. Jean is especially passionate about creating environments that are grounding, beautiful, and spiritually restorative.
Through her writing and teaching, Jean encourages others to know themselves, know creation, and recognize Christ as the living truth present within and around us—always inviting a return to love, beauty, and the sacred order of life.
