The Book
45 words—reimagined from the celebration of being a woman.
45 words—to understand and embrace the sacred feminine.
45 words—of love, support, and awakening.
Most of us understand words from a masculine, patriarchal mindset because that’s how they’ve been defined for so long. But what if we understood words from the feminine mindset, from the ideas of the sacred feminine? What if we rethink and re-discover language from the place of celebrating being a woman?
And what if these shifts can help set us free?
In this book, author, nature photographer, yoga instructor, and ecofeminist, Teri Lyn Harman focuses on common words, reimagining their meanings and impact on who we are as women. How when we claim these words and these feminist ideas we shake off the shame, fear, and cages.
And how, beautifully, our words become our wings. Simple but fierce.
This book is not an ask—it's support.
This book is not self-help—it's love.
This book is not a rally call—it's a heartbeat.

Praise for Words Instead of Wings
Teri's simple yet fiercely brilliant concept to share sacred words of the feminine to muse on, learn from, and dance with is much-needed medicine for those of us on a heart-full path.

I was enraptured the whole time. It felt like a balm. I highlighted so much. I believe Words Instead of Wings will be a light to the right women who find it. It is such a beautiful work of heart.
