About Erika Harris
Word Activist. Healing Communicator.
My personal mission is to stimulate greater empathy for Earth, and all its inhabitants. I promote Empathic Leadership, Heart-Based Living and Evolutionary Business. As an empowered empath in love with language, I align words to help you:
- unleash clarity;
- stimulate generosity;
- arouse curiosity;
- open new mindscapes;
- compel an eager donation or purchase;
- feel understood and soul-embraced.
I’m equally in love with silence, and all that it can do. A sacred space infused with love, intelligence, intuition and undivided attention can reconnect you to your Source. Which is where everything else is.
Words create. Long ago I committed to string my words together to create bridges, runways and launching pads. From wooded retreat centers to sky-scraping conference rooms, I deliver messages that impart insight, transformation and success. Whether companioning with a client 1:1, hosting a group of 5-25, or incubating business ideas for an entrepreneurial client, I use words to shift and lift my Earth family.
- Sacred witnessing of stories ready to be expressed.
- Catalytic conversations that help you get clear and right with yourself, so you can be clear and right with others.
- Honoring your life’s initiations into mystery, intimacy, parenthood, loss, advancement, career change, retirement, relocation, etc.
I help visionary organizations with:
- Creative brainstorming for the next evolutionary steps in your organization’s mission.
- Conscious copy for the launch or update of a product, service or campaign.
- Workplace morale-infusion (via customized team-building and bridge-building).
I am often asked…
- transform interests into income;
- reinvigorate writers, artists and healers;
- generate money-making ideas for entrepreneurs;
- midwife small-businesses, new career launches and deep integrations;
- empower Highly Sensitive People, introverts and empaths to flourish in an often inhospitable culture;
- listen to stories that have been held in silence an entire lifetime, because the storyteller was waiting for a special reception — a gala affair, befitting a god;
- write dating profiles for relationship-seekers who wanted true, magnetic word-bios — love-calls from one’s higher-self;
- write songs and letters of reconciliation for estranged loved ones;
- co-write corporate vision statements, marital vows, menus and artists’ statements.
- And a number of other non-standardized services. I am a wild conglomeration of Oshun and Neytiri. With a pen. And a presence. What I do depends on what you need. I offer an empathic blend of companioning, writing, witnessing, guiding, infusing, wayshowing, galvanizing. Ever forward. I am committed to your highest good, and offer lived expertise in the creation of beauty, truth, harmony and plenty.

I loved, Loved, LOVED this essay, Erika! Each word resonated with me profoundly. I half-lived for many, many years… but no more!
At the end, you wrote, “We don’t have to wait for a terminal diagnosis, or some other disaster, to give us permission to pursue and create the life we know we want to live. Give yourself permission. Right now.” I only wish more people (myself included) could understand this without having the big life-changing event. Fortunately, I’m still young enough (39) to make radical changes in my life and truly unfetter that internal flame that’s aching to wildly engulf my entire being. I can feel it growing daily now, and it’s a wonderful sensation.
Have a great day!
-Jim
ps I’m “Rawdiant” on Twitter, and have now favorited TWO of your tweets!

Dear Erika,
I am experiencing a moment of stunned silence after reading your beautiful message.
I feel, I know…that God just spoke to me, through you.
You must publish this peaceful piece.
Submit it to a magazine.
I will print it out and carry it with me, to always remind myself..
“Don’t you ever DARE to live half way”
Thank you so very much for sharing your writing with the world.

Hello EH. this is Panda, the fellow from the bus a while ago i am glad that i received the chance to meet you because i can tell that you are quite an interesting person and a better thinker than most. Well maybe not better but you have viewed the world and seen more. I do hope to hear from you, because I think that you can offer me what i have wanted for so long but have not had in about 3 years; a great conversation.
People don’t really do that anymore, converse that is. Now it is all facebook and twitter, im’s and text messages. We fool ourselves into thinking that we are really communicating through glowing screen and pixels but the truth is computers cause more isolation and less talking that anything.
Sincerely Panda.
P.S. Nice site.
