On the Enchanted Earth Podcast, Dr. Christophe Morin—author, scientist, and educator in neuroscience, psychology, marketing, and AI—shares how a late-life healing journey moved him beyond a materialistic worldview toward a neuro-spiritual connection with nature. Raised in rural France, he found early solace running outdoors, but later a COVID-era existential crisis and depression in Honolulu pushed him to confront his mental health without numbing it. He describes researching the neuroscience of “bathing in nature,” Japan’s medically prescribed forest bathing, and his long-term work with ayahuasca, including a month in Peru living in a Shipibo village with shamanic initiation. Morin recounts perceiving a “cosmic web” of interconnectedness akin to the Indra Net, discusses ritualizing daily practices, and explains the Greek concept of a temenos—nature as a container for inner work and neuroplastic healing.

About Dr. Christophe Morin

Dr. Christophe Morin is an internationally recognized author, scientist, and educator whose work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, marketing, and artificial intelligence. For more than two decades, he has advanced the discipline of neuromarketing, demonstrating how the brain’s primal systems shape attention, emotion, and decision-making — and how organizations can communicate more ethically and effectively as a result.

He is the author or co-author of several influential books, including Neuromarketing, The Persuasion Code, Selling to the Old Brain, The Ultimate Neuromarketing Research Guide, OPEN, OPEN UP, and Neuromarketing AI. His contributions have helped thousands of leaders and teams translate complex brain science into practical frameworks for persuasion, learning, leadership development, and human change.

Dr. Morin teaches neuroscience and AI at Johns Hopkins University and advises organizations around the world on strategy, communication, and innovation. His current research explores how consciousness, neuroplasticity, and generative AI together reshape how people learn, decide, and thrive.
