In light of CERES' exemplification of the way a metaphysical reorientation to the world, actualized through our own life-places, is integral to environmentalism, other environmental organizations might also begin to attend to their relation to their places of work, treating them as sites of reanimation and reinhabitation, exploring and enhancing their poetic significance.
CERES is an illustration of this process: within the parameters of its own site it allows the organic principle to operate, but its placement within the inner city also represents an instance of organicism in the wider context, a breakdown of the 'zoning' mentality of the planners.
CERES provides a prototype for such centres, though of course all such centres would need to be sensitive to context, growing out of local conditions - the needs and interests of local people, and the particularities of local conditions.

Then she explores Ceres' role in "rites of intensification" (those events designed to strengthen a social group), among which are the establishment of peace and the opening of the mundus Cereris.
In her discussion of the plebs, S. shows that Ceres' link to the plebs can be traced back to the founding of the Republic and lasted until the establishment of the principate, when the goddess became affiliated with the Emperor and his family.
As a result, she has amply demonstrated that ancient goddesses, or at least one ancient goddess, were not honored as role models for liberated, independent female behavior, but rather as divine entities who governed the workings of daily life.
