Make art that speaks to who you're becoming.

Soulful creativity for your third act

For women in midlife and beyond, ready to claim their voice, their power, and their inner wisdom through intuitive art-making and personal ritual.

Here, it’s not about making perfect art. It’s about making something that matters.

Hey, I’m Stacy Vajta

I create spaces for soulful women to reclaim their creativity—not for the sake of art, but for the sake of wholeness.

Like many women, I reached a point where life felt full, but something essential was missing. When I began creating again, it wasn’t about making perfect art—it was about remembering myself. Slowing down. Listening in. Letting the process lead me home.

Now, I help other women do the same. Through creative ritual and intuitive making, I offer spaces to reconnect with your voice, your wisdom, and the quiet field of knowing that lives just beyond the edges of thought.

  • “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.”

  • “WOW! I always love working with Stacy. The way she works with and describes energy is like no one else I've ever met. Her instructions and visualizations are unique and very unusual and provide me so much depth and insight into my own body, my reactions, and the information I receive. Combining this with art is so cool because it lets my subconscious deliver wisdom. Last night's class did that in spades — and the layers of information and instruction kind of blew my mind. I'm so grateful!”

    — Angie

  • “Much gratitude for joining you in the ‘Emergence’ workshop yesterday. I enjoyed and appreciated your skilled coaching and journey work. Your reflections and artful support helped to open my inner sight to a greater understanding of myself in the context of where I stand at this time. Quite brilliant!”

    — Joann

  • “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.”

Why Creativity Matters

In a world that constantly pulls us away from ourselves, creativity brings us back.

It’s not about mastering technique or making something beautiful. It’s about the act of creating with your hands—and noticing what it awakens in you. It’s a way of moving through the inner tides: grief, joy, change, longing. A way of listening to what’s rising.

Here, your art is sacred—not because it’s perfect, but because it’s yours.

When you return to your creativity, you return to your rhythm, your voice, your truth—and the life you’re here to live.

There’s nothing quite like getting a card from a friend for no reason at all—just a sweet little gesture that says, I’m thinking of you. And when it’s handmade? Even better. I vowed a while back to send more cards, just becau

Happy Solstice y'all.
I tell ya. Getting my spirit dolls to stand on their own two feet is the hardest part for me. Every time, it's a game of weighing them down and finding their center of gravity. We're still negotiating here, and I think her tennis shoes will become C
