Member Walk and Bonfire
On Sunday we had a refreshing walk and bonfire, with new members and old. Having it delayed from the previous week did allow a couple more people to join us, so that was wonderful. Though we didn’t get any pictures of the group, it was a great time of connecting with each other and the land. There are already a few people signed up for our next one on the last Sunday of March (the 28th) at 2:00 pm. If you would like to join us, please comment below, or send us a message to reserve your spot, as we are still limiting the number to 10. If necessary, we will consider offering this for our members twice a month.
Also, we want to give each of you who are here with us on Patreon a hearty thank-you. You are a vital part of our community, whether or not you are able to make it to the Sanctuary physically. We appreciate you so much.
Many Blessings,
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.
