Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
Alberto Villoldo’s career has unfolded at the meeting point of psychology, anthropology, writing, and contemporary spiritual teaching. Born in Cuba, he has said he was exposed early to Afro-Indian healing traditions. He later pursued doctoral studies in psychology and medical anthropology at San Francisco State University, where, by his mid-twenties, he became the university’s youngest clinical professor and directed the Biological Self-Regulation Laboratory. That academic path was the first major turning point. According to his own account, laboratory research on mind-body medicine eventually felt too narrow, and he left for the Amazon and Andes, spending years studying with Indigenous healers and collecting practices that would become the basis of his later books and schools.
