Enneagram Self-Preservation Four: Creativity & the Enneagram:

If everyone is creative, what does creativity look like for each Enneagram type?

Type Seven and Four are often described as the most creative types on the Enneagram. But those are only two forms of creative expression. So what is the experience like for the other types?

In this series, I am talking to people who know their Enneagram type, believe they are creative and have some form of creative practice (that doesn't mean 'artistic' practice.)

I aim to talk to all nine types and ask them the following:

📍What does creativity mean to you?
📍What does creativity feel like to you?
📍How has knowing your Enneagram type shaped or changed your relationship with your creativity?
📍What supports you to be creative?
📍How have you wrangled with creative blocks?
📍What creativity look like in your personal and professional lives?
📍What creations are you most proud of?

In this interview I am speaking with Leslie McDaniel, a Self-Preservation Four and ENTJ.

As a Four, she saw her creative efforts as not being enough, as lacking. A designer, photographer, editor and more, in the past she would dismiss her creative efforts.

Through her work with the Enneagram, Leslie has come to see "life as a creative act" and sees creativity as an "openness, an awareness, a sensitivity and an allowance." A set of skills she aims to cultivate on a daily basis.

And I really appreciated Leslie sharing how quick her personality is to see what's lacking, and the conscious reflection to explore the other side of the equation.

About me:

Hi, I'm Samantha Mackay, deep healing and Enneagram coach at https://samanthamackay.com/

Creativity played a crucial role in helping me recover from chronic illness. Firstly, develop an abstract painting practice helped me process a range of emotions that I hadn't previously been able to attend to.

But I also needed to heal my wounded creativity.

To acknowledge that I am creative and to allow myself to own that part of myself and allow it to flow freely. That last part is still a work in progress, and selfishly, part of this interview series is to help me do just that.

But I am also deeply curious as to what the experience of creativity is like for other people. I have no idea if this will become something after this series is finished, but I am keen to get started and see where it takes me.
