If you remember there is the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers which Teo Alfero of Cleargreen and his (again so-called) Wolf Connection raised  $26,329 in pledges with a Kickstarter campaign to take a few wolf dogs to Montana to "be with" the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers.

It looks like Teo Alfero only learned of Carlos around the time he was dying, and didn't come to LA until after the old man was dead. So he's a veritable babe in the woods who never met Carlos and must rely entirely on what he read and what he's been told.

Makes me wonder what Teo Alfero  another Tensegrity facilitator is doing.

Teo spent 3 years under the mentorship of Master Coach and author Larry Pinci. Larry Princi was the author of "Sell The Feeling".   I would think one would want to sell the product... but Sell The Feeling claims to "show readers how to evoke the essential feelings that motivate people to do business.". OK. So after three years studying this stuff what feelings is Teo selling? 

He is into donations.....  Wolfdogs ....  and kids.

Other "Tensegrity facilitators that have bios .. like Teo Alfero and Guilhem Morera are steeped in new age money making endeavors.

As a cult leader, Castaneda was a fetishist. He insisted on cutting the hair of his witches, giving them the same short, boyish look. He wanted them to bathe in water infused with rosemary, which he felt was a purifier. Intercourse with him was usually part of their indoctrination, and according to insiders, he would initiate sex with several witches at once.

The cult was a business, too. The chacmools ran their own company, earning payment for teaching Castaneda’s methods and ideas in workshops and selling his books and T-shirts. While Castaneda and the witches were busy generating revenues, he claimed to be gathering enough energy to cheat death and live forever.

He manipulated everybody to compete with each other. He was very brilliant at it, like all cult leaders.

The main villain in the tale, I tell him, is Castaneda. He should not be a literary icon or New Age hero to anyone. He was a creep.

In the 2022 book "The Wolf Connection, What Wolves Can Teach Us about Being Human" by Teo Alfero - this is how Glenn Schiffman is identified (apparently self identified in an interview):
"Glenn Schiffman, an Iroquois wolf clan elder".
