Photos from Fire Ceremony with Jim TwoSnakes
We were honored to have Jim TwoSnakes coming to Crossing Hedgerows to share the Q’ero Fire Ceremony with our community.
The Q’ero (Peruvian) Fire Ceremony is an ancient rite with profound impact that has changed the lives of many people. Everywhere Jim TwoSnakes conducts a Fire Ceremony, you can find people willing to attest to its power to transform. With a blessed and sacred fire, we ask Pachamama (Mother Earth) to compost and recycle the issues we don’t want or need in our lives any more, using a specially charged stick, and we ask her to give back to us what we do need in our lives, as guided by her love and wisdom.
Thank you to all who came out to experience this powerful ceremony.

Many Blessings!

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.
