Did You Know?
… that we are part of the United Plant Savers Botanical Sanctuary Network?
A few years back I sent in an application with documentation of some of the various endangered medicinal plants we have growing at the sanctuary. We were approved to be part of the network, and you can find us listed at the United Plant Savers website.
Besides medicinal plants, we have a wide variety of other native plants around the property which we are honored to be graced with their presence. I am always happy to give a tour to anyone who is supporting us here on Patreon. And for those who have not yet joined, come on out for a free introductory tour to Crossing Hedgerows Sanctuary.

May the energy of the sun rejuvenate you during this bright time of year, just like all our happy leafy friends. And may nwyfre (life force) flow through you as you create resilience and abundance in your life!
With all good wishes,
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.
