Circles For Peace

It’s a gorgeous Saturday morning and I am taking the plywood version of the sundial to the Earth Clock for the Day. Come down, bring the Kids!

We are excited to share news of a community project with you, and invite you to join our expanding circle of participation and support.

Circles for Peace is a Vermont grassroots non-profit organization that is based on the philosophy that inner peace and inner strength can be restored by witnessing the rhythms and cycles of nature.

Our first project is The Burlington Earth Clock.

We are building The Burlington Earth Clock on land provided by the Burlington Parks Department at Blanchard Beach on the bike path just north of Oakledge Park (a popular spot for watching the sunset).

Plans include the development of an educational curriculum for K-12 in the areas of science and math, art and history.

We are currently fundraising to complete landscaping, install information signs and the 6′ granite sundial in the middle of the circle.

Your financial contribution is crucial to this project.

Thanks for your support. Everyone giving what bit they can has made this project a success so far.
Please give generously.

The only way
to make sense out of change
is to plunge into it, move with it
and join the dance.

Our vision is to create public spaces that encourage connecting with the rhythms and cycles of nature. The Burlington Earth Clock is designed to inspire future scientists and artist alike.

It has been one year since the stones were put in. To celebrate we made some human art. Everyone thought happy thoughts as the plane went overhead!

Thanks again to Michael Swaidner for doing what he loves.

Quiet contemplation under a tree…

During the Art Hop we set up a plywood version of the proposed granite sundial to test.

Waiting for a clear view of the sunset can be very rewarding…
