The Element of Water and You
The Swan Creek at Crossing Hedgerows Sanctuary
💧 How does the fact that you are a water being relate to your health and well being? What are some things you can do to support the function of water in your body?
💧Learn also how water is related to your emotions and the importance of embodiment practices in connecting to love.
💧Gather a magical berry found at the sanctuary to take home to use for a simple purifying bath soak.
💧We’ll conclude with a walk around the sanctuary to learn about the importance of capturing and holding water on the land. Everything from storing water that flows off the roof, to the creek that flows through the sanctuary, to the seasonal floods and how to use them to advantage.
🧣Please dress warmly for being outdoors, but we will also be able to meet in the hoophouse for part of the time, which is quite warm if it’s sunny. Or we may have a fire in the fire circle and meet there depending on which seems best for the weather. Light refreshments will be served.
The cost of this meetup is $25 (or $20 if you a supporter here on Patreon at the Friends level or above). Please pay in cash upon arrival. RSVP by Nov. 7th to save your spot. 🩵 ~ 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.
