About the Event
Step in from the cold and into history! Join us Tuesday, December 16 from 3–6pm for the next Monterey Bohemian Artisan Market, hosted inside two floors of the cozy Cooper Adobe museum and Courtyard Garden. With the winter chill settling in, we’re bringing the magic indoors—nestled among original furnishings and the stories held within this 19th-century home.
Discover one-of-a-kind artisan goods, support local makers, and experience Monterey’s history in a whole new (and wonderfully warm) way.
Save-the-Date and we’ll see you in the museum!

Where History Meets Creativity & Community!

Mondays at 10:00am with Liana Olson, Senior Trainer with the Tai Chi for Health Institute. Class location: garden level or indoor Skylight Room (weather-permitting). Drop in for one-class or pay for a 6-session class series .
Tai Chi for Beginners was designed by Dr. Lam and his team of tai chi experts. This Tai Chi program is learner-friendly and is based on the most popular Yang style 24 Forms. The Beginners set gives students an easy-to-learn format that leads to a solid foundation. The program takes learners on an enjoyable journey to better health and harmony through the power of tai chi, building in steps that incorporate warm-ups, Qigong, stepping exercises, foundation movements, and exploring the connections between movements. Tai Chi principles are introduced in each session. It is both a safe and a satisfying program. To learn more, watch the video, Anyone Can Learn Tai Chi, here.
