“Mystical South Carolina – A Pilgrimage to Joy”
Teri Leigh Teed’s Debut Book Launches October 20, 2019
Teri Leigh Teed’s debut book “Mystical South Carolina – A Pilgrimage to Joy” launches October 20, 2019 at the Gervais Street Bridge Dinner in Columbia, SC.
An intuitively led, seven-year pilgrimage to 12 sacred sites in her home state of South Carolina took Teed to places she had never visited. And opened her eyes to the remarkable and miraculous: a pilgrimage to joy.
“There is an important message within this book that shares an ancient secret hidden in the landscape of South Carolina that gives humanity a key to open the door for healing through partnership with Mother Earth. The key is very simple and in plain sight.”
In celebration of Teed’s debut book, her new logo features the “Congaree Rings”, concentric circles of love rippling out to heal our world.
A native of Columbia, SC, Teed is a multi-dimensional author/artist based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina near Sylva. Teed’s stories and poetry share positive, inspirational, life-affirming thoughts and energies and are part of her “Healing Spirit Art©” portfolio, which includes her award-winning fine art photography and music.
Inspired by her time and travels while living abroad in London, rural France, and Ireland, and her childhood in her home state of South Carolina, Teed’s writings and art reflect her love of Nature and the sacred art of healing.
Teed’s photo stories are featured in numerous publications including DailyGood.org and Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS. She is a member of the North Carolina Writers Network and the Academy of American Poets. Her poetry is featured in the Camden Poet’s Society 25th Anniversary Collection “What We Keep, Passions of the Heart”, and on TraveleronthePath.com and AscensionGateway.com.
