Crossing Hedgerows Circle Meetup 🌳
Saturday, August 24th at 11:00 a.m. (please note time change)
A view of Crossing Hedgerows Sanctuary
Do you consider your body and spirit a natural system mirroring the world around you? As you picture sunshine, fresh air, and pure water nourishing and stabilizing the land, can you see it doing the same for you?
Come join us as we explore the element of Air and connect with our own inner healers.
We will begin with a meditation and a song. There will then be a discussion on how caring for ourselves and the air go hand in hand, including easy, practical ways to do this that we can start right now. What is the spiritual significance of air in our lives?
We’ll go for a walk through the woods and soak up the fresh forest air. Write thank-you notes to the trees. We’ll walk through the wildflowers and notice all the “air creatures” – bees, butterflies, flying insects, dragonflies, and birds.
If time allows, we will play a round of the ADAPT game (design your life through permaculture) by Resilient Spirals LLC.
We’ll end with sampling a dish made with some of our farm fresh ingredients.
The cost is $25 (or $20 for those at the “Friends” level or above). Payment for meet-ups will go directly to Jean as the facilitator. Please pay in cash upon arrival.
RSVP by Thursday, the 22nd to save your spot.

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.
