After building one of California’s largest cut-flower enterprises and later developing utility-scale solar projects across the West, Jeff realized that true regeneration begins not on the land, but in the heart.\nA deeply transformative encounter with San Pedro cactus shifted his life’s trajectory, calling him toward service, ceremony, and conscious leadership. Today he is the founder of Shine Ministries and steward of Circles of San Pedro, two intertwined efforts dedicated to reconnecting humanity with nature through sacred practice, community gardens, and regenerative agriculture.\nJeff oversees the planting of hundreds of thousands of San Pedro cacti across California, Baja, and the Southwest, while training leaders, facilitators, and land stewards in heart-centered living.
