The Art of Becoming:
A Creative Journey for Midlife Women
A four-week guided course to help you reconnect with yourself
through art, writing and self-expression.
Explore new ways to embrace change, reclaim your voice
and awaken your creativity
Are You Feeling Disconnected from Yourself?
During midlife, it can feel like you’re losing parts of yourself, your creativity, your voice, your sense of who you are.
Whether you're moving through perimenopause, menopause, or simply sensing that you’ve outgrown old roles and expectations, this season of change can be disorienting.
But this isn’t an ending.
It’s a powerful new beginning.
The Art of Becoming is a 4-week online experience that will help you:
Find your voice and confidence through writing and self-expression
Use art, movement and journaling to release stuck energy and emotions
Feel inspired, free and in tune with who
you are becoming.
No art experience needed - just an open heart and a desire to explore.
The Creative Journey Home
Midlife is a time of deep personal transformation.
Our identities, desires and ways of seeing the world evolve. At this time, your creativity can support you to process change, rediscover your voice and express your true wisdom.
Throughout this journey, you will....
Intuition & Wisdom
Explore creative exercises that tap into your intuition and wisdom – Through guided prompts and expressive art, you'll learn to trust your inner voice and allow creativity to flow freely, without self-judgment.
Self - Expression
Express emotions through art and movement, releasing what no longer serves you – Using intuitive art exercises and free writing, you will explore your inner landscape and get to know yourself in new ways.
Come Home to Yourself
Find clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of self – this journey is about more than creativity. As you engage in these practices, you’ll nurture self-love, deepen your connection with your inner world and discover new pathways to your soul purpose.
A Creative Rebirth
Midlife is a time of profound change.
We may find ourselves letting go of long-held roles....mother, partner, caregiver, professional and wondering what comes next.
It can be a season of shedding, soul-searching and unexpected reinvention.
Yet in a world that rarely pauses to honour this inner transformation, many women are left feeling invisible, disconnected, or unsure of their place in a culture that glorifies youth and constant productivity.
Menopause is one threshold among many—a powerful physiological and emotional initiation that invites us to reclaim our energy, identity and deeper knowing. But too often, this phase is medicalised, dismissed, or treated as something to “manage” rather than embrace.
We are not meant to go through this alone.
In many cultures, midlife is seen as a time of awakening—of stepping into wisdom, leadership, and personal power.
And for many women, it marks the beginning of a creative rebirth, a return to the self through expression, imagination and inner freedom.
Without a creative outlet to process and express all that’s shifting beneath the surface, this season of life can feel confusing and isolating.
“A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life,
an expanded life and a hell of a lot more interesting life.
Living in this manner — continually and stubbornly bringing
forth the jewels that are hidden within you.” - Elizabeth Gilbert

Over the next four weeks, you’ll reconnect with yourself through creativity.
With journaling, art, movement and self-reflection. You will understand yourself on a deeper level and find new ways to express who you are becoming.
WEEK 1
Awakening Creative Flow
This week is about connecting with yourself and setting the tone for your creative journey. Through art, journaling and movement, you’ll begin to awaken your creativity and explore who you are becoming.
You’ll receive self-reflection prompts, a movement practice and a creative exercise to explore at home.
Then, in our live session, we’ll come together for a guided meditation, creative writing and an intuitive mark-making colour play art exercise, followed by a sharing circle.
WEEK 3
Rebirth – Tapping into Creativity & Joy
This week is about embracing creativity as a source of renewal, play and self-expression.
You’ll receive self-reflection prompts, creative exercises, and journaling tasks designed to help you reconnect with inspiration and embrace creativity as a tool for vitality and renewal.
In our live session, we’ll start with movement to awaken creative energy, followed by a guided art exercise exploring the woman you are becoming in this next chapter of life. We’ll close with a sharing circle to reflect on the experience and celebrate each other’s creative expansion.
WEEK 2
Releasing Creative Blocks
This week, we will work closely with the shadow—the hidden fears, doubts and beliefs that have shaped our creative expression.
You’ll receive deep self-reflection prompts, journaling exercises and an expressive art activity designed to help you face the stories that hold you back and transform them into creative inspiration.
In our live session, we’ll start with movement, then a rip and release art therapy exercise. We’ll end with a sharing round to reflect on the process.
WEEK 4
Integration – Weaving Creativity into Everyday Life
This final week is about honoring the journey you’ve taken and finding ways to keep creativity alive beyond the course. By weaving creativity into daily life, you create a lasting connection to inspiration and self-expression.
You’ll receive self-reflection prompts and creative exercises designed to help you mark your growth, establish personal creative rituals and keep your creative juices flowing.
In our live session, we’ll gather for a final creative expression to symbolise the journey you have been on, followed by a closing ritual and sharing circle.
Meet Your Guide
My name is Star, aka Lunita Loca and I am an artist and illustrator living on an olive farm in the beautiful mountains of southern Spain, where creativity, nature and transformation guide both my work and my journey.
Lunita Loca
Artist
Four years ago, I was burnt out and entering perimenopause. I had completely disconnected from myself and lost my direction, my passion and the sense of who I was outside of my daily responsibilities.
Something had to change.
Through creative expression—drawing, writing and sharing my work with the world , I reignited my inner spark and found my way back to myself.
For the past two years, I’ve been holding a local women’s circle — a space to talk, create, and support each other’s growth. I also co-hosted the Shine Your True Colours workshop, blending breathwork and intuitive art to help women reconnect with their creative essence.
I believe deeply in the power of women coming together to share real experiences, especially around topics that are often silenced or dismissed. In spaces free of judgment, we can use our voices not just to heal ourselves, but to uplift each other. Holding space for this kind of connection is something I feel deeply called to do.
My art is deeply inspired by my own healing journey but is mostly rooted in the feminine, the moon, nature and the cosmos. Through bold colours, ethereal symbolism and flowing forms, I seek to capture the magic and transformation that comes with embracing one’s true self.
I believe that every woman deserves to carve out time for herself, to explore, to create and to reconnect with her innate wisdom.
Your creativity is your power, your voice and your medicine!

Come Together
Group art therapy and women’s sharing circles provide a held and supportive space for connection, expression and healing. Making art helps you process emotions
and express yourself freely. In a group, you feel seen, supported
and encouraged to explore without judgment.
Midlife can feel isolating, but in a group setting, women realise they’re not alone.
Making art helps process emotions, reduce stress and awaken creative energy, while storytelling and discussion deepen self-awareness and empowerment.
We will be meeting online for live sessions, with additional support and connection on a private Facebook and WhatsApp group. These spaces will allow for ongoing conversation, sharing of insights and sisterhood beyond the weekly sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
I haven’t done anything creative in years. Will this still work for me?
Absolutely. Many women go through long stretches of life where creativity takes a backseat—whether due to family, work or exhaustion. Menopause is a perfect time to reclaim your creative energy and explore new ways to express yourself without pressure or expectation.
Do I need to be an artist to join this course?
Not at all. This course is about self-expression, not technical skill. Whether you’ve been creating for years or feel like you’ve lost touch with creativity, this journey will guide you back to a sense of play and freedom.
I feel like menopause has made me lose my creative spark. Will this help?
Yes! Many women feel disconnected from creativity during perimenopause and menopause. Between hormonal shifts, life changes and cultural expectations, it’s easy to feel stuck. This course is designed to help you reignite your creativity, reconnect with your inner wisdom and find new ways to express yourself.
What if I don’t have a lot of time?
This course is designed to fit into real life. The emails include simple, flexible prompts that can be done in a few minutes or explored more deeply when you have time. The live sessions provide a chance to step away from daily demands and focus on yourself, even if just for a short while.
What happens in the live sessions?
Each session includes a guided creative process, an art therapy-based exercise and a sharing circle where we reflect on our experiences. It’s a space for connection, exploration and support. These sessions are designed to help you release old patterns, express yourself freely and embrace the next chapter of life with clarity and confidence.
What if I can’t make a live session?
Replays will be available, so you can revisit the session when it suits you. However, the live experience allows for real-time connection and sharing, so I encourage you to join if possible.
Do I need special art supplies?
No. You can use whatever you have—pens, pencils, paints, or even scrap paper. The focus is on expression, not perfection, so simple materials work just fine. If any specific materials are recommended for a live session, you’ll receive details in advance so you have time to prepare.
What if I feel self-conscious sharing in the group
This is a judgment-free space designed for support and encouragement. You can share as much or as little as you like. Many women find that being in a circle of others going through similar transitions helps them feel seen, understood and inspired.
