About Us

Thalen and Minerva bring together craftsmanship, precision, and a sense of calm intention to every stone they touch. Their work blends the practical skill of clean sandblast engraving with the deeper, timeless art of honoring stories through stone.

Their shop is not open to the public—every project is created privately, intentionally, and with full attention. They travel throughout WNC and the Southeast to complete cemetery inscriptions and memorial lettering.

At M. H. Woods Stone Artistry, we craft timeless beauty from stone; discover the 12 x 12 Granite Lap Labyrinth in Rose. This exquisitely hand-sandblasted and hand-painted piece serves as an exciting addition to your spiritual practices. Ideal for enhancing meditation and intuitive practices, this piece showcases an engraving of the 7-circuit classical labyrinth, surrounded by a rose garden on solid black granite. Black granite is known for its grounding, protective and transformational effects. Perfect for altar work and spiritual growth, it also comes with a display stand, making it a compelling piece for both functional use and decorative display. Elevate your sacred space and practices with the enduring elegance of this unique finger labyrinth.

 

How to use the Labyrinth:

  • If possible, choose a time when you will not be disturbed for about 20 minutes
  • Place the labyrinth on your lap or within easy reach.
  • Take a few moments to get comfortable
  • Notice how your body is feeling and breathe
  • Lightly place your hands on the labyrinth and notice the sensation of your fingertips touching the stone.
  • You will notice that the entrance to the labyrinth looks a bit like the trunk of a tree. Place your finger there and pause a while. Think about what you hope to experience.
  • Now, slowly begin tracing the path with your finger. You only need to follow the path – there are no tricks or dead ends.
  • The journey inwards is a good time for releasing tension and letting go of busy thoughts.
  • When you reach the center – pause – breathe. This is time to just ‘be’. Open yourself to whatever comes.
  • When you feel ready, trace the journey out again, carrying with you any insights you have received.
  • When you find yourself back at the entrance, take some time to reflect. You may find you feel lighter, stronger and ready to engage

Experiment and find out what works best for you.
