A Quiet Space to Come Home to Yourself – Pottery for Peacemakers (Enneagram Type 9 – The Peacemaker)
For Type 9s, pottery is a gentle return to the self—a calming practice that invites stillness, soft expression, and inner peace through quiet creativity.
Enneagram Type 9s are easygoing, empathetic, and harmony-driven. They often put others’ needs before their own and avoid conflict or overwhelm by “going along to get along.” But beneath that peaceful exterior is a deep well of unspoken emotion and creativity. At The Clay Hole in Draper, Utah, pottery becomes a safe and centering ritual—one that allows Type 9s to gently reconnect with themselves.
Here, there’s no rush. No pressure. No demands. Just quiet space, kind support, and the soft rhythm of clay moving beneath your hands.
Hobbies That Comfort and Restore Type 9s
Peacemakers tend to gravitate toward hobbies that feel low-pressure, restorative, and emotionally safe. Some common Type 9 pastimes include:
- Reading or journaling alone
- Listening to peaceful music or nature sounds
- Walking, yoga, or light stretching
- Watching comfort shows or documentaries
- Watercolor painting or mindful crafting
- Gardening or quiet time in nature
Pottery adds something special: embodiment. Type 9s can stay quiet, yet still *create*. The act of touching clay grounds them, while the repetitive motion becomes meditative. It’s peace with purpose—and it's one of the few hobbies where their voice comes through, even if they never say a word.
If you resonate with ISFJ or INFP energy, you’ll likely find pottery to be your new safe space of calm creation.
