I got curious when Teo Alfero was recently mentioned by Sandy S. He has been mentioned once before, by educatedindian.

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".

The cult has regrouped and is preparing a new ceremony selling push. Here's bios of the new cult leaders from castaneda.com. Notice how one of them also claims to be a Cherokee healer.

The genesis of Wolf Connection started in 2008 with our founder Teo Alfero, a native of Argentina, who had a passion for working with and empowering foster youth. He rescued a young wolfdog Tala, when she was just four weeks old. Soon after, when Teo was looking for a way to take his youth mentoring program to the next level and simultaneously looking for a playmate for Tala, he was introduced to a pack of sixteen wolfdogs, and thus the idea of Wolf Connection was born.

Christopher/Trinity de Guzman's newer endeavor SoulCybin has a private Facebook page that can be easily joined https://www.facebook.com/groups/474554085287813/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=526518763424678 (at least at the moment of this post)

There is mention that the sales team is grieving the loss of a team member, easy guess they are talking about Trinity.

Just like with his prior businesses, this is all about sales. Excess verbiage, love bombing, persuasive and manipulative.

Many members of this Facebook community look to be using their actual names. I cannot stress enough how unsafe this is for them.

Many believe that the drugs they are taking are decriminalized or even legal. This is not universally true. For instance here is information for United States, in many states this is fully illegal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_decriminalization_in_the_United_States

Community members detail their mental health history, using their actual names, they write of stopping use of their prescribed psych meds without talking with an actual medical professional, all while reading heavy sales pressure couched in "beloved" lovebombing on Facebook and in their email.

Posts from folks who don't appear to be doing well: "been through 40 facilities" "11th psychiatric medications" "I didn't have a soul" "killed two times" ........... and there is no encouragement to get actual mental and physical health care. Only more encouragement to buy and use more products.

Some of the posts are likely fake conversations between various sales team members. Some of the testimonials look fake also.

All of this is from Trinity's playbook. He was, and this group is, high pressure sales of sketchy unsafe and often ilegal products.

She lives in Taos, NM, paints, and still does this:

I take groups to work with ayahuasca and plant dietas  in the jungle of the upper Amazon region of Peru.

The focus of PUMA SHAMANIC JOURNEYS is to facilitate healing, spiritual and transformative journeys to the upper Amazon region of Peru. The intention of these journeys is for personal healing, inner exploration and personal growth.

Where is the source of theses quotes?

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".

Glenn Schiffman is thanked in 2012 book "Dancing with the Wheel" by Sun Bear, Wabun Wind, Crysalis Mulligan for being an organizer of Medicine Wheel Gatherings.

Schiffman claims: "two years creating content about Native American history for IBM's EduQuest division".

The Washington state nonprofit Sungleska Oyate is still active.

The Buck & Vicki Ghosthorse Trust still owns the property at 649 Garrison Rd, Goldendale, Washington.

Satellite photos show a maintained sundance circle on property.

The group has a cemetery on the property, there may be more internments than the two listed here: https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2587934/ghost-horse-family-cemetery

Paul Peter Sahadya/ Ghosthorse, at least as of 2019, still identifies as "a descendant of Genghis Khan, was reared by a Native American elder in South Dakota". https://www.secufamilyhouse.org/news/guest-spotlight-the-ghosthorse-family

Their Sungleska Oyate nonprofit past treasurer Dr. Arthur Clarence Horn Jr died in 2020 https://www.ashevilleareaalternative.com/obituary/Arthur-HornJr .

Several of this group have settled in the general Asheville, NC area. Including their spiritual leader Paul Peter Sahadya/Ghosthorse. I don't know if Paul is still alive.

Because several members legally changed their surnames to Ghosthorse in the past, there are now children and possibly grandchildren with that surname. Some of those children appear to believe that they were born into a Lakota lineage.

The lies of Leonard Albert Mattern Jr/Buck Ghosthorse (former KKK member) are still passed around, believed, and some in the new age biz continue to use their own connection as a claim to special spirituality.

I'm curious if Paul Ghosthorse has died, if so has a successor been appointed? Has this group returned to holding summer events in Goldendale, WA? Do those living in NC meet for events?
