EPISODE 063: Grieving the Loss of a Son with Damascena Tanis
In today’s episode, Damascena shares her powerful story of losing her son Tanner and all of the beautiful gifts she’s receiving as her relationship with him continues on the other side. She talks about the power of grief, moving it through the body, and how her own experience of suffering while holding space for Tanner as he experienced anxiety & drug addiction helped her cultivate a renewed strength in herself.
Join us for this deeply moving story of loss and a look at how Damascena is riding the current of grief and allowing it to crack her wide open.

Damascena Tanis is a writer, astrologer, and recently bereaved mother, living on the shores of Lake Erie with her three earthbound children. Currently, Damascena is most involved with learning how to parent a fourth child who has journeyed beyond the veil. She writes about this journey, astrology, spirituality, and her messy human life on her popular website.
In 2020, Damscena founded The Planetary Priestess Mystery School, devoted to marrying earth and sky within the body. Each year, she takes women through a transformative journey of Venus Wisdom, called “Sky Dancer.” Weaving together her work as an Ayurvedic Practitioner, childbirth doula & educator, astrologer, & lifelong apprenticeship with the deities of death, loss, longing, & grief, she is devoted to helping her students and clients awaken to the miracle of incarnation.
As an astrologer and spiritual adventurer, all of her work is in service to cultivating emergent archetypes, so we have new templates to write more life-giving stories. Through these emergent archetypes, she helps her students and clients embody more of their own humanity, as they walk their path in life, love, and leadership.
