Underworld Sessions

I am convinced that Grief Work will be the next healing frontier.

Collectively, our society does not have mature rituals around Death, Loss, Grief, or what St. John of the Cross, called “Dark Nights of the Soul”.

As a society, we do not seem to have much practice at meeting others in these “lowly” places.

This leaves the people who experience these dimensions feeling wildly unsupported, lacking an adequate container to hold them as they make sense of what has happened to them.

My life has been uniquely oriented to these Realms. As a product of a closed adoption, I spent my early life trying to navigate an underworld hell that everyone around me saw as a blessing.

I suffered a subsequent massive familial loss more than a decade ago that left me reeling. And looking for significant answers around how I could support myself in a world that wasn’t able to meet me in the dark.

Finally, my 22 year old son passed away.

What I learned, is that the discoveries I made in that dark period a decade ago, saved me in the wake of loosing my boy.

I had cracked some kind of Underworld Code.

I knew how to walk these lands, and make sense of the terrain. I had a map.

Now, I offer this map to my clients through the medium of these powerful sessions.



Very soon after Tanner died, I opened astrology charts hoping to find something. As an Astrologer, charts speak to me. They are an oracle. The archetypes tell the story of soul. And in so doing, I was able to instantly find answers to questions that I would have ruminated on for years if I hadn’t.

In my son’s case, I felt the pulled towards ceremony, had a strong desire to ritualize aspects of his death, and continue working on what I knew was our shared evolutionary curriculum. There were many points of connection between Tanner and I in the charts that made it clear, we had a shared soul path, and his soul could continue to mentor me in specific areas. Continuing on with that work has become a way of weaving his soul on the 3-D plane. A way for us to still be doing our Karmic work together.

Many people find that having a more cosmic picture of their experience is a supportive way to help anchor them after a significant loss. To know that our losses are sacred, and not necessarily “wrong” has brought great comfort to my clients.


How Sessions Work

We meet and look at your chart, and potentially the chart of the person you lost. In the case of a death, there is also the option of looking at “Death Charts”. The chart that is created at the moment of death. If you think this option might be for you, mention it in your contact sheet.

Then, through dialogue, and your open receptivity to the discovery process, we listen to what the charts have to say.

In addition to what the charts can offer, these sessions come with my own personal support and guidance.

They are one part chart work, one part reorientation to a new map of how we hold our grief.

There is an option to continue sessions without charts. To simply receive my support and guidance as you navigate the Underworld Process.


Who are Death, Loss, & Grief, Sessions for?

These sessions can cover anything we consider a death, a loss, or something worthy of grieving. It doesn’t have to be the death of a loved one. It can be an event, a shift, a life change, a loss of relationship, or job, etc.

The reason these readings are relevant and work is because every meaningful event in our life creates its own chart.

Therefore, everything that happens in our life has a bigger cosmic context.

If you are struggling to cope with a loss, or would like explore the bigger questions, This session is for you.

In my son’s case, I could immediately see themes from his life and our relationship in a way I never had before. Through using our combined charts, along with his death chart, I have been able to find meaning in loss, and forge a path ahead, while also honoring the immense grief I now carry with me. Making sense of the charts, has helped me come to a place of profound acceptance that I’m not sure I would have had otherwise. This isn’t to say I don’t experience the human emotions that accompany loss. However, it has given me an underlying peace I’m unsure I’d have otherwise.

These sessions paired with my Underworld Map have been both comforting and confirmational for those who’ve employed them. I’m open to receiving you if this offering speaks to you.


A note on Underworld Sessions that involve someone who has passed over.

This is not a psychic session. I do not act in the capacity of a Medium or Shaman in my professional life. I will not attempt to contact your loved one from the other side during our session. If you desire this type of work, I have colleagues I can refer you too.

With that said, I have always had a naturally heightened intuition, and will share with you any intuitive insights that come through during our session together.

Because of my sensitive, intuitive nature, spiritual hygiene has always been important to me, which is why I do not personally open sessions to ancestors that I do not have a working relationship with.

You are welcome to invite/invoke your loved one yourself should you like them to be present during the session.

Trauma

Although I do have practitioner level training in trauma, these sessions are not designed to hold people in active trauma. They require participants to have the capacity to resource themselves. It is not the intention of these sessions to further the client’s distress around loss. They are meant to be supportive, illuminating and ultimately, to bring comfort.

If you suspect that a session might be the slightest bit destabilizing, it might be best to hold off until you feel that you are in a more grounded place.

If you have any questions around your capacity to have a session, you are more than welcome to reach out, and we will explore this question together.


Sessions start at $333.00 USD. Split payment option available.

Damascena Tanis

Damascena is an Archetypal Astrologer, Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner, and The Facilitator of the Transformative Journey through the Mandala of Venus’ Wisdom, called “Sky Dancer”.

She is a passionate devotee of the ever unfolding mystery. As an expert observer, a trait she developed as an only child, she regards herself as both a student of life, and decoder of the cosmos.

Skilled at recognizing invisible patterns, and picking up on subtle shifts in the collective, she gets a thrill from uncovering and revealing the hidden threads that are woven together to create our paradigm.

Her passion for this existential detective work aligns well with her unique approach to one on one client work, as she helps others to discover the building blocks of their archetypal blueprint, and mythic overtones. She does not believe that astrology is static, and therefore works with clients to develop strategies and practices that allow them to transcend challenging aspects of their natal chart.

She lives on the Shores of Lake Erie with her husband, four kids, and Cat, Oscar (the grouch).

These days, when she isn’t interpreting a natal chart, or translating the stars for her astrology blog, you can find her engaging in one of her favorite pandemic pastimes, unraveling her inner “good girl”, cultivating the ability to thrive in the deep, dark, unknown, or playing her favorite game of identifying fun paradoxes called “two things are true at once”.
