Particles going around an object...

So I would like particles to on a path, go around an object, an then re-convene on that path. I tried using a curve guide, but all the particles only flow on one side. Can somebody offer some suggestions?

You could use a transparent “tube” the particles could be flowing through. The tube would be a collision object as would the thing in the middle.

try using curve guide, but maybe try 2 particle systems?

Another way to do it is to make one curve guide and one emitter; duplicate these and move the duplicates to another layer, then rotate the duplicate curve 180 degrees. Curve guides on one layer do not affect particles on another layer.
