Ok, I think this is totally cheating, but It’s many times easier to get photos up on facebook than this site. So in the spirit of sharing…

Here is a link to a beautiful photoshoot at the Earth Clock right after the sundial was in.

James has done an Excellent job of documenting the progress at the Earth Clock.
Here is his latest..

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. WE ARE ONLY $8,000 AWAY FROM OUR $80,000 GOAL!!

We are installing the Sundial this week. On Wednesday the 6′ Granite Centerpiece will go in and on Saturday the 8th at 10 AM we need volunteers to hand set the 15 smaller stones that represent the hours. Let me know if you can make it.

Please give what you can.

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

In addition to completing the Earth Clock installation, Circles for Peace has a Capital Campaign currently inviting contributions, to allow us to bring places of naturally peaceful inspiration to public spaces all around the world.

Help us if you can,

…and invite us to come and help you create your own…

38 participants shared an extraordinary evening of wonder and transformation, with over 30 of those present choosing to walk on the coals.

Thanks too for the many helpers on logistics and hosting who made everything run so smoothly and safely.

We raised $ 1,450 – thank you all so much !

Watch the site for dates of your next fire walking opportunity with us…

While we were having our field trip with a group of 20 homeschool children, WCAX stopped by and posted this video…
