Leonardo Serafin

I was born in Duarte, California, and raised by hardworking immigrant parents who instilled in me a deep foundation of gratitude and the value of perseverance. From a young age, I was drawn to creative expression, finding an outlet in the arts and making music early in life as a way to channel and communicate my inner world.

Looking for direction after high school, I joined the Army. It was a defining chapter that taught me true discipline and showed me how to push past mental and physical limits to heights I never knew were possible.

Following my military service, I transitioned into wilderness therapy. This chapter of my life truly felt like soul-searching. Through this work, I’ve gained profound insights into the power of human connection, empathy, and the healing strength of being in unity with the earth.
