Speaker: Leonardo Canneto, Psychedelic Music Journey Facilitator
Leonardo Canneto is a musical innovator who blends mindfulness with sonic experiences. Originally from Argentina, he began his musical career in New York City at 18, recording albums, producing music, and touring as a multi-instrumentalist before settling in Los Angeles.
In 2018, he founded Zendo Stereo: Music Mindfulness, a groundbreaking concept combining live musical performances with guided meditation and psychedelics. The project has attracted over 30,000 hours of streamed sets and sold-out crowds across the United States.
Leonardo collaborates with mental health clinics and was invited to speak at MIT Santa Barbara on "Music, Mindfulness and Altered States". Initiated into Vedic Meditation in 2007, he continues to pioneer the intersection of music, consciousness, and healing, drawing from Eastern philosophy and psychedelic medicine traditions.
