The Soulful Art of Midlife
A Journey of Slow & Intentional Living in Midlife
Meet Tamara Kemp
As a multidisciplinary artist exploring the powerful connection between creativity, silence, and renewal in midlife, I create spaces for women to discover their authentic voice. As a fellow traveler on this path of discovery, I share my experiences and insights while continuing to learn and grow alongside others navigating life's second chapter.
After experiencing my own transformation through a decade of creative silence and unexpected menopause, I discovered that midlife isn't an ending—it's an exciting new beginning. This realization inspired me to create a space for shared exploration and authentic creative expression.
My artistic journey spans four and a half decades, from performances at Lincoln Center and Disney Hall to creating harmonious interior spaces. As a musician and designer, I've learned that like the essential pauses between musical notes, life's most profound meanings often emerge in moments of quiet contemplation.
Through my blog, courses, and artistic practice, I invite you to join this gentle yet profound journey of transformation. Here, we explore together the wisdom of slowing down, the power of quiet knowledge, and the beauty of authentic self-expression.

Reflections for a Soulful Midlife
This is where my words live: nine gentle pathways into a deeper, slower, more soulful midlife. Feminine knowing, creative growth, and intentional grace.
Midlife as a Threshold
"It takes a long time to become young."
Pablo Picasso
What if midlife could be a threshold — a quiet return to yourself — rather than a crisis to be feared?
This season can be a gentle awakening.
A place where you hear your voice again, not louder — but clearer.
Where your rhythms shift, your desires soften, and your soul begins to speak in new ways.
There’s a part of you that has never aged — only waited.
Begin the Journey
Creativity & Self-Expression
"Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction." Rumi
What if creativity isn’t something you have to chase — but something waiting quietly to be welcomed back?
Even if the canvas has been empty for years, even if your voice feels unsure, your creative self has never left.
It lives in the pauses, in the longing, in the beauty you notice when no one’s watching. This is where expression becomes healing — not performance.

Slow & Intentional Living
"Beautiful days do not come to you, they come from you." - Rumi
There is a rhythm meant just for you.
Not the world’s rhythm — yours.
When you choose to slow down, you’re not doing less —
you’re remembering what matters.
You’re listening to your own breath.
Slow living isn’t about silence.
It’s a form of deep listening.
Of self-repair.
Of tending gently to what is tender in you.
Healing, not through effort —
but through softness.
Embrace the Slow Rhythm
Create Beauty, Inside & Out
"To find the beautiful, you must believe the beautiful." - Rumi
Beauty begins within —
in the way you breathe into your space, notice what matters,
and allow your surroundings to reflect your inner rhythm.
Your home is not a stage.
It’s a soul-room — a place that remembers you.
When you create beauty with intention,
you create a space that holds you, heals you, and tells your story back to you.

Healing & Inner Growth
"And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?" - Rumi
Healing is a slow return
rather than a task —
to the self beneath the striving,
to the quiet center that never left you.
Not everything needs to be solved.
Some things simply need to be seen.
With gentleness.
With truth.
With time.
It’s about coming home.
Start Healing Within
"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." - Maya Angelou
Your feminine wisdom is something you remember rather than something you study.
A quiet truth passed down
from the women who came before you —
and from the voice within.
Dreams that know before the mind can speak.
A wisdom that grows softer — and stronger — with time.
You don’t have to search for it.
You already carry it.
It’s not a voice you need to earn.
It’s one you’re finally ready to hear.

Nature, Ritual & Belonging
“Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh
There is a kind of remembering that only returns through the senses.
In the warmth of sun on your back.
In the scent of soil after rain.
In the path your feet take, not because it's the shortest — but because it's yours.
It’s about returning to the part of you that always belonged.
A stillness that roots you deeper.
To a rhythm you forgot you needed.
You don’t have to go far.
Sacredness begins where your breath slows.
Find Your Rooted Path
A Quiet Dialogue with the Divine
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
– Rumi
There are moments when something greater simply sits beside you.
You don’t need language for this. Just a heart that still listens.
You’re not being tested. You’re being remembered.
Faith isn’t something you prove — It’s something you return to.
A quiet belonging.
You are already in conversation. Even when you forget.
Especially then.

Self-Care & Gentle Empowerment
"Honor the space between no longer and not yet." – Nancy Levin
Taking care of yourself is how you remember: You matter.
You’re allowed to soften.
To nourish what the world doesn’t always see.
Self-care in midlife is different.
It’s about listening —
to your rhythms,
to your cravings for rest, stillness, warmth.
To eat well.
To walk slowly.
To say no.
To be held —
even just by your own breath.
It’s not about fixing.
It’s about coming home, again and again,
to the sacred center within.
