She is a certified Archetypal Pattern Analyst™ and certified Transpersonal Soul-Centered Coach, with extensive training in dreamwork, Holotropic Breathwork, and the Enneagram.

She is the founder and Director Emerita of Depth Psychology Alliance — a global community of nearly 6,000 members — created and served six years as Executive Editor of the scholarly journal Depth Insights, has conducted more than 100 interviews and podcasts with leading voices in the field, and edited Earth, Climate, Dreams (2019) and Depth Psychology and the Digital Age (2016).

Dr. Christophe Morin

Dr. Christophe Morin

Neuroscience, Media Psychology & Transformation

Christophe Morin holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Media Psychology from Fielding Graduate University, with a concentration in neuropsychology, and an MBA from Bowling Green State University. He brings more than 35 years of consumer, advertising, and public health research to the science of how human beings change.

A pioneer of neuromarketing, he co-founded SalesBrain — the world's first neuromarketing agency — and has authored three bestselling books translated into multiple languages, including The Persuasion Code. He serves as adjunct faculty at Johns Hopkins University and has taught the neuroscience of influence to over 150,000 executives worldwide.

His own journey through the depths — including shamanic initiation with the Shipibo tribe in Peru — inspired his current research on the neuroscience of stress, serenity, and spiritual transformation, the foundation of his forthcoming work on the OPEN framework.
