Teo Alfero was born and raised in Argentina. He comes from a family lineage of educators and legislators who have supported youth development in his native country. Embracing those values, and in line with his own caring nature, Teo developed a passion to reach out to young people in need of mentoring and guidance.

Former military man, rock climber, and adventurer, Teo’s first mentoring experiences involved guiding young people through mountaineering and outdoor programs that offered rites of passage experiences that would help youth and families gain a sense of confidence and accomplishment.

In 1999 Teo moved to California and immersed himself in his spiritual and Shamanic studies in the lineage of Carlos Castaneda. He has assisted and led self-discovery and Shamanic, transformational workshops in the Americas, Europe, and Russia since 2003.

Teo founded Wolf Connection in 2008 as a response to a critical need in the community in the areas of animal welfare and youth mentoring and healing, and as a way to serve those members of the community that need it most.

Over the last two decades, Teo has continued to deepen his consciousness practices and has sat with teachers and medicine people from traditions such as Huichol, Lakota, Apache, Nut chak nutl, and Dene, from places such as the South Western US, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, India, Hawaii, and Western Africa.

Teo is a community leader and public speaker. He has become a leader in the Transformational and Shamanic space, a cross-tradition teacher of practical consciousness, and a mentor, teacher, and advisor to individuals whose decisions impact many. He is the author of “The Wolf Connection, What Wolves Can Teach Us About Being Human” Simon and Schuster – 2019, a curator and Participant in the book “Transmission, An Anthology” – 2023, and the author of the upcoming book “The Power of the Wolf Dream” 2024, and “Lead like a Wolf” – 2025. He lives at Wolf Connection, in Acton, CA with his wife and daughter.
