Joy Matalon, a specialist in mind-body integration and healing, is collaborating with Dr. Erica Warren, a coach and learning specialist, to lead new monthly group events designed to inspire and support participants in a process of becoming big, fun and complete. The group will meet at their joint practice—Drop Into Your Best Self—in Ossining.

Each session will include facilitated activities, discussions, videos and meditations to support participants in personal growth. Self-explorative journaling and conscious communication will enable members to unearth intention, release the ego, feel heard, build empathy and discover community. Matalon elaborates, “In an uplifting environment of cradling swings and rocking platforms, participants will learn to access and cultivate their best selves. Then multi-sensory methods help integrate new intentions.”

Sessions will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Fridays: May 12, 2023 - Grace Under Pressure; June 9, 2023 - Staying Real; July 14, 2023 - The Ropes and Wheels that carry us; and August 11, 2023 - Letting Things In-Letting Things Out.

Matalon has over 30 years of experience in meditation and bodywork and is certified in CranioSacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release and Process Acupressure. Warren has a doctorate in adult education and a master’s in educational psychology, plus 25 years of experience teaching and facilitating with the aim of helping people maximize their potential.
