About the session
Grief is universal yet profoundly personal. This presentation explores the intersection of grief, loss and Fallback—the involuntary regression to earlier, less mature ways of being—through the Enneagram. Drawing on decades of lived and professional experience, Savnola examines how each type’s core fears, desires and defence structures shape fallback patterns in major loss, and how the Enneagram can accompany integration, resilience and post-traumatic growth.
