Feminine Power Heroine’s Journey in Zion with Woman-Centered Coach Marilyn Hager: Angel’s Landing
I want to share a very powerful story about something I experienced while co-leading the Feminine Power Heroine’s Journey in Zion National Park in Utah, USA, June 21st-29th. What happened illustrates the force of all three Empowered Feminine Centers in alignment with the teachings of Perfect Life Awakening and Divine Feminine influence.
The lesson that we were focusing on the day that this story took place was about having “faith in the goodness of life.” This “having of faith” is something that I have whole-heartedly and deeply desired to believe, but coming from a childhood that was literally “not safe,” I have sometimes struggled to “know” that in every fiber of my being. My personal intention for the journey was to reveal anything that might be in the way of my ability to give and receive love in really healthy ways and to break up a very disappointed belief that I can’t trust men to support me. This story shows the organic power of intention and of how our relationships with others, mirror our own beliefs about ourselves, and life…
So, here’s what happened:
We were about 3/4 way through the schedule of our heroine’s journey when we took our threshold hike, up to Angel’s Landing: 2.5 miles up and 2.5 miles down, climbing 1,000 ft. from bottom to top and descending 1,000 ft from top to bottom, with the middle .5 mile being very difficult both up and down.

I honestly wasn’t sure I would even attempt that final ascent before I got there, but the 2 previous miles had been so rewarding that I was inspired and “on fire” when it came time to step forward. I had walked those incredibly beautiful and breathtaking 2 previous miles with Patricia, a very powerful 69-year-old woman, and Feminine Power coaching client who I worked deeply with the previous year and who has since become a very dear friend and evolutionary partner. She has knee issues and the heat was getting to her, but she was absolutely inspiring and incredibly attuned with her inner strength as I extended support and love to her with every step going up.
Through her empowered attunement, Patricia recognized her limits and decided to stop under a tree on Scout’s Lookout, the first pinnacle before Angel’s Landing, with a gorgeous view of the looming peaks and valleys all around us, to wait for us to return from the final ascent to the top-most pinnacle.
The hike up to Angel’s Landing required that in many places, one hold onto chains that are bolted to the side of the wall with a sheer cliff on the outer edge of a sometimes 18” wide walkway. If one were to fall, that would be “It.” So, ‘I’m Not Safe” was definitely in my face… This required lots of holding and containing fear, extreme focus on the places to put my feet and hands and great surrender to the strength of my nearly 60-year-old body that I spent months conditioning for this very event. Every once in a while, the grace of the Great Mother would give us a moment of reprieve and the path would widen enough to stop and take a breath. The ascent was slow, but steady, even though sometimes my fearfully shaking legs were not the most steady part of my body.
We were all so ecstatic when we reached the top!!! Sunni, our Priestess Elder, a 73-year-old sister sojourner who experienced a really challenging time making it was deeply supported by amazing 58-year-old Carla, who, in her deepest desire to be of service, extended her training as a Yoga teacher for the elderly. They were so extremely overjoyed as the top of their heads peeked over that final ledge and their sparkling eyes danced as they met ours. What a testament to the power of the feminine, the power of supporting each other and to the power of relatedness we all were!
So all of this, in and of itself, would have made for quite the inspiring story, but what happened next completely blew my mind and shifted my very essence of “knowing!”
We sat on top of that landing for about 45 minutes, taking in the incredible view and feeling the bonded awareness of not only our group, but of the 75 or so others on top of that landing who had also made the same efforts and had tackled the same fears that we had.
When we finally started to make our way down, I was feeling so happy and in love with everyone and all of life. After the first set of chains, we came upon our first widened pathway and just before I stepped upon the flattened surface, I noticed a woman standing against the wall, looking tired, forlorn and despondent.
I reached out to her with my energy and said with my voice, “Sweetheart, you are so amazing…[planning to finish with, “look at how far you have gotten, the end is just ahead!”]… but, because I had taken my attention away from my own center, and what my feet were doing, my left foot slipped on the side of a slightly protruding rounded rock on the flat area and slid into sand… my left ankle buckled, foot twisting onto its side and popped as I went straight down to my knees. This was quite shocking and I immediately knew it was serious…as we quickly pulled off my shoe and sock, a 3 inch blue egg extended under the surface of my skin on the top of my foot just below my ankle.
…before I could utter a word, a legion of angels, strangers who I had not even noticed were with me, flocked around as the perfect “others” to support me through this event. The young man, Johnny, who was standing next to the forlorn woman me reached into his backpack and pulled out some ankle wrapping tape and started activating an emergency ice bag. (Turns out he was her trek guide and lived in the same valley that I did in Colorado.)
The young man, Kyle, who “happened” to be walking behind me was the medic for a Division 1 Women’s soccer team, also from Colorado. He tested for a break and then determined it was just a torn ligament; “Phew!” He proceeded to tape my ankle so that I had an instant professional cast. Behind him was a friend of his, Connor, a young fireman, who insisted upon staying with me for the treacherous hike down the .5 miles to Scout’s Lookout. Emily, quietly held a powerful feminine presence as we made our ways down…
Prem, my co-facilitator on the Journey, pictured with me above along the narrow pathway, gently held my foot and sent her comforting method of energy healing, then stayed behind to help the other half of the group down the rest of the hike.
… Had the “goodness of life” not lined up with the extended way I was being and all of those others had not been also attuned on a deeper level, this would probably have meant a very dangerous, dramatic, expensive and painful helicopter rescue off of the side of the peak…
As it went, we were all so grateful for the expression of healthy divine masculine that was all around us! I was so focused on where I needed to place my hands and feet to maneuver my way down, it was better not to be touched by anyone else, but that they were “there” for me. How it all happened, I didn’t even notice the edges and I flew down that path on the sturdy arms that I had worked so diligently to condition for the journey…
When we returned to Scout’s Landing, Patricia was there with her big smile and loving arms. She and another joy-filled, loving and amazing sister sojourner, Debi, supported me for the final 2 miles back down to the trail head, guide being guided, supporter being supported…giving and receiving love as we made our ways home.
“Angel’s Landing,” what an apt name for the incident that activated every fiber of my being to “know” that “it is safe to trust in the goodness of life” and that this is the key to my “ability to give and receive love” at every turn and in every moment of my life…

Priestess Wisdom – Marilyn Hager
Priestess Wisdom reveals my memories of the ancient mysteries of the Divine Feminine. In temple space, I experience ever-expanding breadth and depth that brings me to a permanent state of both coherent uplift and quiet grounding.
I am renewed and nourished as I let myself explore and expand my own multi-dimensional awareness, causing floods and floods of inspiration to surge through me.

Each time I cross the threshold into the empty presence of another feminine archetype, I am touched to my very core. At the same time, my whole self: my heart, my mind, my spirit and soul expand across space and time. At the end of the first round of my exploration, when I reached the Alchemist, the thirteenth archetype, I stepped into a sense of vast peace and solid, inner strength as a more complete, confident and powerfully centered version of myself.
The most profound outcome for me has been a renewed connection with my creativity as an artist, a writer, storyteller and a coach. I am in the process of developing a book project, an online course, and art pieces that will include the power of our priestess pathway.
I have also incorporated the mentorship of the archetypes into my Goddess of Success coaching practice, as well as into my Heroine’s Journey travel adventures for the empowered woman.
Most of all, this has been an opportunity to share temple space with a precious sisterhood of incredible women from all over the world, women who I have known and will know throughout all time.
I feel so blessed to experience this wonderful journey. I’m so grateful to have taken the steps to allow myself to come home to this sisterhood of Priestess Pathway of the Sanctuary of the Open Heart.

Feminine Power Senior Coach Marilyn Hager: On Feminine Radiance
Feminine Power Sr. Coach Marilyn Hager here, sharing my experiences of transforming and evolving Feminine Radiance.
Through Feminine Power practices, I have realized the truth of my own value.
When I listen to my Soul’s unique message to inform every action I take, I move through life as who I truly am. From there, my “true self” invites the truth of others to shine forward in co-creative partnership. Together we support the full flourishing of each other and create a world of radiance that is so much brighter than we could ever create alone.
Before deepening into my Soul’s guidance, I made choices and took actions that didn’t reflect my true value. When I first began this work, I was just entering menopause. I had recently met and married the first evolutionary love of my life.
This relationship was different than any other in that I was more attracted to his inner being than to his physical being and I felt loved with a depth of honesty toward and from him that I had never experienced before.

I had always sourced great power from sexuality, but that resource began to shift. My body changed drastically, even though I wasn’t living my life any differently. I aged ten years in two and lost the intense sexual drive that had defined and fueled much of how I acted and what I thought about. At first, I was really disoriented by this and I felt old, used up and dimmed down as my sense of power in the world diminished by the day.
After really understanding the Feminine Power teachings, I began to make new choices and take new actions that reflected a deeper level of congruence and integrity with my own value. As I broke up these beliefs:
• I began to turn toward the deeper truth of my soul’s reasons for being here, found more purpose in life and shifted my source of power to be fueled by the messages that I was receiving from my unique expression of life through my deeper center.
• Fears did come up in making myself available to be fully visible, extended and authentically radiant in the world, so I went on a very focused inquiry about why I was being so extremely affected by the aging process and I took the deep dive into a firmly held belief that I had to be beautiful and sexy to be loved.
• As I systematically worked the practices, I visited the memories of my childhood and loved-up the broken heart of my lonely little girl who longed for her verbally and emotionally abusive, womanizing father’s unrequited loving attention.
• I processed the woundings of the promiscuity of my “liberated hippy” college girl who was looking for her father’s love in the arms of more men than I can remember.
• I healed the cellular memories of being burned at the stake for the magic of my knowing through the lineage of my wise and intuitive grandmothers.
• I learned to trust that I could be safe with other women, and even partner with them, without needing to feel competitive.
• I developed my healer and counselor and deepened my artistic skills and offerings.
• I have created new ways of sourcing safety for myself that have liberated me to begin to shine my radiance brightly and come into the fullness of my power in the world.
• When I share intimacy with my beloved, it is from a place of deep care and celebration of our connection rather than the intense need for sexual gratification to feel good about myself.
I am older, more wrinkled and less sexy than I used to be and that is okay. Who I used to be doesn’t hold a candle to the inner radiance that I feel flowing from my heart and out of my eyes, allowing me to touch the hearts of others, without agenda, from a place of honest curiosity and encouragement for them to be all that they came here to be.
I feel so much more at peace, very vibrant and am now aware of being fueled by an illuminant ball of golden light, filled with all of the love that I have ever known that supports me whenever my heart’s light begins to dim.
It points me to the soft underbelly of the next false belief with compassion for the details of my humanness and holds my Younger Self until she can relax in this love and allow me to turn again toward the messages of my soul’s longing to fulfill my many purposes for being a spiritual being in human form.
