"Do
not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave
And weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep."

| In addition to weddings, baby blessings,
and spiritual counseling, I will perform other rituals, teach,
and lecture.
There are a variety of other ritual events that can be performed.
Most of them have to do with times of transition from one age
to another, one season to another, or one home to another. Celebrating
and marking these transitions in our lives creates sacred time
and space for us. Creating that sacred time connects us to our
families, friends, community, place and spirit in profound ways.
Consider celebrating these events in your life:

| I adore teaching in
a seminar format as well as one on one as a spiritual counselor.
I have been teaching Creative Business - Expressive Purpose for
years at the International School of Shiatsu, Doylestown, PA and
at the Lourdes Wellness Center, Collingswood, NJ. A newer addition
to my creative work includes an experiential seminar on Creating
New Traditions and Rituals for your Blended Family.
Creating, producing and speaking at Pebble Hill Church in Doylestown,
PA was a wonderful and energizing experience for me. I celebrated
two Hindu holidays, Holi & Dusshera, with the community at
Pebble. I welcome the opportunity to speak to communities about
the interfaith movement, interfaith families, cultural and religious
traditions from around the world, adoption, and spiritual practices.
I love sharing esoteric wisdom and practices with others. I connect
profoundly with people about their spiritual lives, experiences
and validate their inner life. My teachers have come from many
practices and from many traditions. All of them have contributed
greatly to my wisdom, experiences and practices.

find Rev. Mantha highly skilled in her style of ministry. She offers
many gifts as a guest minister to any kind of Congregation. I recommend
her strongly as a speaker, presenter, facilitator and creator of
ritual." Jacqueline Menkes - Celebration Coordinator at Pebble
