Joy Matalon who specializes in mind-body integration and healing, is joining Erica Warren, Ph.D., to lead upcoming group events designed to cultivate one’s best self. Personal Pearls will be offered June 10, from 10 a.m. to noon, and Unearthing Authenticity will be offered on July 8, from 10 a.m. to noon. Groups are limited to 10 participants.

“In an uplifting environment of cradling swings and rocking platforms, participants will learn to access and cultivate their best selves. Then multisensory methods help integrate new intentions,” Matalon says. “Our groups aspire to inspire, guide and support participants in the process of becoming big, full and complete. They offer facilitated activities, discussions, videos and meditations to support participants in personal growth. Self-explorative journaling, Imago dialogue and conscious communication enables group members to unearth intention, release the ego, feel heard, build empathy and discover community.”

With more than 30 years of experience in meditation and bodywork, Matalon is certified in CranioSacral Therapy (CST), SomatoEmotional Release and process acupressure. Warren has a doctorate in adult education and a master’s in educational psychology, and 25 years’ experience teaching and facilitating with the aim of helping people of all ages maximize their potential. They cofounded a Putnam Valley-based joint practice, Drop Into Your Best Self. Matalon also offers CST and massage therapy in Ossining and Garrison.
