Event: Feast with the Fae Potluck and Nature Walk 🧚🏼♀️
Sunday, July 14th at 4pm
You are invited to join us for a themed potluck in which we will share stories of our encounters with the elementals. Whether you have had direct interactions, or simply have reverence for particular aspects and energies of the land, we would love to hear how these beings are part of your life. And if you are simply curious to learn more about all of this, you are also welcomed!
“To be clear, what I mean by elemental beings is the fairies, the elves, the gnomes, the dwarfs, the wee folk, the fae, the wild ones, the plant spirits, the water sprites and spirits, the mermaids. These spirits do not only exist in etheric form; they have an embodied form on earth as well. They exist in a different dimension than we do and have access to other dimensions but they are earth beings, just like us.”
~ Theresa C. Dintino
path to the stone circle
Preceding the potluck, we’ll go on a nature walk and feel the energies of all our happy land spirits / elementals at Crossing Hedgerows. We’ll call in those spirits who wish us well – and you are welcome to bring an offering to leave at the stone circle for them.
We’ll also have a bonfire to gather around and share our stories, if the weather seems appropriate for that. And if you want to dress in honor of your favorite beings, please don’t hesitate to let your imagination flow!
Looking forward to seeing all who can make it,
🧙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.
