Welcome to My World

In this corner of the in-between, creativity isn’t just something you do. It’s something you listen to. It’s a way of entering a conversation with your intuition, imagination, and inner wisdom.

My work lives at the meeting point of making and listening. When your hands move, your mind softens, and something deeper has room to speak. That might happen through shaping clay, wrapping wool, working with simple materials, or following an image that won’t let you go.

Sometimes that listening takes form as a doll—a small guardian or companion that holds story, energy, and intention. Other times it shows up through imaginative exploration, inner dialogue, or a creative ritual that opens a new way of seeing.

What matters most isn’t the object itself, but the shift that happens while you’re making. Creativity becomes a way to hear yourself again, trust what you sense, and meet the wisdom that’s been waiting.

This space is for women ready to explore creativity as an intuitive practice—one that reveals, steadies, and surprises you.

Why Creativity Matters

Creativity brings us home to ourselves. In a world that pulls us in a thousand directions, making something with your hands becomes a way to hear your own inner voice again.

Here, making isn’t about perfection. It’s about curiosity, intuition, and giving form to what you feel. It’s a way to slow down, open your heart, and reconnect with parts of yourself that have been waiting quietly.

Whether you’re stitching, sculpting, wrapping, or creating something entirely your own, this becomes a practice—a gentle, soulful rhythm that steadies you.

Your creativity has so much to show you. You just need a place to begin.

Hey, I’m Stacy Vajta

The things I make listen as much as they speak. My soulful creations hold story, energy, and a spark of the unseen. Each one begins as a quiet feeling and becomes something you can hold—a small reminder of what’s alive in you.

That same energy flows through my classes and retreats. Whether we’re working with dolls or learning to use imagination as a doorway into intuitive skills, creativity becomes a way of entering a conversation with the inner world. It’s playful, revealing, and surprisingly powerful.

This is the heart of my work: holding space for soulful making and creative transformation. Here, you might welcome one of the spirit dolls I’ve made into your life, or learn how to work with imagination and creativity as a living, intuitive practice of your own.

"This was my 1st spirit doll creation that awakened unseen facets of myself. Stacy provided a safe, calm, nonjudgmental space for each of us to explore ourselves while creating these dolls. Stacy is a great teacher who truly loves the process. She was helpful & her supplies to create these 1 of a kind dolls left nothing out. 10 out of 10 ⭐️’s for me."

“Stacy’s work is both grounded and spiritual, both playful and powerful; and what could be better than that?!! I recently took one of her workshops, and though I pondered whether my artistic abilities could deliver anything of healing value, I was amazed at what was unveiled. Even beyond the workshop’s conclusion, as I continue to meditate on my works of ‘art,’ the revelations and a-ha’s continue. I remain deeply grateful for the many gifts Stacy has imparted on my journey.”

“Thank you so much for yesterday's gathering. I always enjoy working with you. Your energy is so warm, rooting, and grounding. I'm also an Intuitive and have been doing this work for decades but it's very special to be a participant and to fill my own cup. The insights that I received were unexpected. I am grateful. I look forward to the next one.”

“Thank you very much for your wisdom, artful spirit, and hospitality. I signed up for your class, hoping to spend a day using my hands and mind in ways that would challenge me to create something I had not experienced before. Your class offered me many options to choose from when considering my spirit doll, and with your encouragement and talent, it all came together — just as you anticipated. I was grateful to meet new like-minded people in your class and to put aside the outside world for a day.”
