Events & Celebrations
Samhuinn and All Hallows Eve Celebration
Saturday, November 1st at 11:00 a.m.
Join us for an outdoors mystical ceremony with bonfire and potluck following.
Our ceremonies are participatory, so please come ready to play a role in it. It’s not about putting on a show, but connecting to the spirit of the ritual, and coming together in celebration. It is always a beautiful time sharing in community!
For those of you here in the Patreon community, let me know if you are coming and I will send you the script so that you can choose a part beforehand. It will also allow you to meditate and prepare yourself for this sacred observance.
This is a ritual which is a rite of passage leading you into the darkest part of the year. As the veil thins, you are able to see more clearly the spiritual journey you are on and how your own soul passes into death and rebirth. This is also a time for you to honor your ancestors as well as do the generational repair which can break the patterns creating disharmony in your life.
Kindly RSVP by October 30th so we can plan accordingly. This is a free event, however donations are gladly accepted. Please bring a dish to pass, with an ingredients list for those with allergies.
We are looking forward to seeing you!

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.
