Will you fly Giant Peace Doves through the town? Will you take pictures and write an aricle for amagazine about your student's construction of an Earthship? What will you do to publically present your project to your community?

5. Partner with a real, mythic, historic, or imagined muse . (We define a muse as a guiding spirit or a source of inspiration in your life.)

Choose, invoke, ask for the help of any historic, mythic contemporary figure, or totem to inspire you in your ServiceProject. Write 2-3 paragraphs as to why you chose this figure to guide you - how are they a source of inspiration for you in this project? If you are doing aproject involving Education through the Arts, for example, you might think about an artist from the past or one who is living, or you might think about agoddess or muse who is the patron of the arts. If you are doing an Environmental Education project, you might think of someone like JaneGoodall or the Earth as sources of inspiration. Create a simple ritual or practice that connects you to this source of inspiration. Describe thatritual or practice in 2-3 paragraphs.
