Enneagram Creativity Workshop
I'm teaching a brand new workshop on August 11th, 2018 in Shreveport! Here's why:
It breaks my heart to hear people say, “I’m just not creative.” It actually pains me.
I’m tired of hearing the Enneagram 6s in my life (all of whom perhaps are more talented than I am) say “I’m not an artist,” and hearing 9’s say they’re not creative when they have some of the most natural creative gifts of us all. Or 3’s wanting excellence in their work but being unwilling to risk vulnerability in the process, or 7’s with brilliant ideas left unfinished, or 1’s too afraid of making mistakes to even start. The list could go on with an example for each Enneagram type (and will at the workshop).
In a basic sense, creativity can be thought of as a way to express who we are. So knowing who we are with the help of Enneagram wisdom can allow us to better express ourselves, which can lead into being known more fully by others and ourselves! Creativity isn’t ever only about expression, but also about discovery. We learn about ourselves, others, and our world in the process of creation. To me, creativity is the art of knowing and being known.
I believe that creativity is an innate human capacity, and we are better off when we’re using it. As Brene Brown puts it, “Unused creativity is not benign. It metastasizes. It turns into grief, rage, judgement, sorrow, shame.” In other words, neglecting to use our creativity is not without consequence. It affects our overall health and well being, the quality of our relationships, and the ways in which we contribute to the world.
In this Enneagram Creativity workshop, we'll look at Enneagram basics with an emphasis on how personality influences creativity for each of the 9 types.
Why is it important to make time and space for creativity in our lives?
What sort of content do you naturally gravitate toward making?
What are the gifts and challenges that your personality brings to the creative process?
How can self-awareness help in overcoming creative obstacles and freeing you up to make the work and life you envision?
This is just as much for anyone who has ever said I’m just not creative or I’m not an artist as it is for working artists looking for tools to help get past creative blocks and discover new aspects of your work and talents. Prior knowledge of the Enneagram is not required, but familiarity with your type would be helpful...click here for a brief overview of the 9 types.
