Meetup For the Element of Air
Saturday, June 14th at 10 am
In alchemy, the element of air is about the mind, the intellect, and creativity. It is the life-giving force of the breath of God.
How are we dreaming our world into existence with the beliefs we hold? How can we know what is true?
We’ll begin with a meditation and song, followed by our topic discussion. Then we’ll play around with making charcoal drawings. Using charcoal from our fire pit, we can use drawing as a form of meditation. We’ll look at some sample drawings, and watch a “how to” video… then try our hands at drawing some trees, or anything else you would like to draw. We’ll finish up with a refreshing walk around the sanctuary.
The cost of this meetup is $25 (or $20 if you a supporter on Patreon at the Friends level. Free for the Agents of Change level and above!). Please pay in cash upon arrival. RSVPs are kindly requested by Thursday, June 12th.
Love and Blessings to you all,
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.
