"I dreamt I was a carver of stones, until I woke up and realized the whole time they had been shaping me" ~ Maile
In 1993, I held a strand of neolithic stone beads in my hand. In that moment, the shape of my world changed forever. I felt a full body awakening, a remembrance. A calling from the seed of all I’ve ever been, across centuries and continents. A call to bridge the worlds of man and mineral. When I carved my first stone, I remembered its past, its present and I knew beyond knowing, my future. Over 20 years later, still listening to the stones & bringing them to people all over the world.
