Musings
Meandering Monday Musings
I snapped a few photos this vapory morning to share with you all. It rained steadily all day yesterday (Sunday), giving the plants another good soaking. The wild creatures all seem to be quite happy.
Also a baby dragon has come to live at the Farm. I can’t wait for Sarenth and Silverleaf’s little Charlotte to see it. She loves the “glass chicken” decoration we have in the lemon balm patch.
It’s lovely to have members of all ages, and we enjoy incorporating children into our activities. Most of our events are family friendly, with activities such as “Spring Bingo” and making corn dollies.
I do hope the weather and mosquitoes will cooperate for our upcoming events. Fingers crossed everyone!
Wild 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.
