MS Monterey offers Art Classes once a month, facilitated by Sophie.
This group provides a space for members to express themselves creatively using a variety of art media. Sophie views herself as a fellow creative explorer and facilitates the artmaking process while viewing the group members as experts of their lived experience and their artistic processes and artwork. A prompt or directive is provided at each session, but members are also given freedom to create how and what they wish. Sophie aims to foster an atmosphere of safety, compassion, creativity, and resilience in the group.
