Peaceful Willow - your guide to Balanced Living in all areas of life

About Us

To find out more about the people behind Peaceful Willow visit the Meet our Team page.

Who We Are

Peaceful Willow officially began in early 2006, after Ronnee Ruselle and Donna Thomson met and began a lifetime of work and service on behalf of truth. We put our heart and soul into Peaceful Willow because we are Peaceful Willow.

The name 'Peaceful Willow' came from our vision...thinking about sitting under a beautiful shady willow by the water's edge on a sunny day, pondering life and the nature of the universe. Ahhh...can't you just feel it?

Peaceful Willow is not just a website, it is a concept and a source of information and education that will be ever-growing and expanding. While the website is our current major 'presence', we intend to hold workshops and seminars in Australia and around the world when the time is right.

We provide you with practical information and resources for all aspects of life.

Our Beliefs

We believe that the best way to help others is to empower them to help themselves. So we provide all the tools you need to learn about yourself, improve your life and live in balance. It's up to you to make the most of what we have to offer, including being able to ask our Experts your questions, using the Meditation section to find your moments of stillness each day, and so on.

We cater to people of all backgrounds, beliefs and locations. People are drawn here at the right time in their personal journey.

So we invite you to come here anytime and explore alongside us under our 'Peaceful Willow.'

What We Do

Inform & Educate - The information, whether via our articles, Balanced Living Experts or Self-Study Courses, is designed to help you live a modern, balanced life with awareness and understanding of yourself, a connection with nature and all living creatures, plus the truth of our energetic and powerful universe. You can be assured that you won't find any confusing 'fantasy' and 'frills' here like you do on some other sites. There is no need to 'hype up' what is natural.

Bring People Together - Even more important to some people than the educational side of our work is the feeling of connection to others who are like-minded and can understand what they are going through. The 'Community Forum' is home to many supportive and loving individuals who are learning and pondering many issues, questions and experiences, from the practical to the philosophical. The internet is bringing people together from all corners of the world to share a united experience. There's a huge sigh of relief for many people when they come across Peaceful Willow because they finally have somewhere they can be themselves. We've recently re-launched the Forum so we look forward to many exciting new discussions in 2009. We look forward to meeting you there!

Encourage Awareness - Yes, this comes through education but this is more than about education...it is about learning to re-connect with nature and the planet that is your home. It is also about living a balanced life - with both a physical and spiritual awareness and presence in your day-to-day life. It's about looking around and seeing how you can contribute and share love and positive energy - leaving your mark on the world in any number of big or small ways - with animals, plants, the environment, the planet itself and of course with your fellow brothers and sisters.

Our Projects

The Website - This is our major focus at this time and we expand and adjust it to continually meet the needs of our readers to provide you with a range of resources and information. With the depth of information on Peaceful Willow it could easily be made into a book, but we have consciously decided to keep the majority of information free and accessible to the 'everyday person'.

Courses - The Learning Centre is an extension of the learning that Peaceful Willow offers. We're continually adding courses in our areas of expertise to allow you to explore topics in even more depth and develop skills in a range of areas. The courses are designed to be practical and teach through experience where possible. We've already got courses in crystals, energy cleansing, performing spirit rescues, plus we're hosting courses by our experts and other as we feel you can benefit from their areas of expertise. We'd like to thank people for their patience while we create these intensive courses.

The Hangout for Youth - Our young generation have a lot to offer and we hope to encourage them to be creative and inspirational individuals by contributing to The Hangout. We have created a sub-website so young people have an opportunity to share their writing, artwork and other creative pursuits. This will be great experience for many of these young people and we would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word about The Hangout to the youth in your life. If you work with youth yourself and feel you may have something to offer like advice, youth support, artistic/creative information, etc please contact us. See: www.peacefulwillow.com/hangout/.

Other Projects - Our talented team are using their intuitive expertise and creativity to put together a range of beautiful tarot and oracle cards for you to use in a variety of ways. It takes quite a lot of time and work to create a set so they won't be available for a while, but we will let you know when they are. We do however have set of 40 beautiful affirmation cards that you can purchase through the Shop.

How You Can Help

Sharing Love Heals Others - We have created a new classification on our Forum where you can share your warm thoughts and wishes for those who are having troubles or perhaps sending loving energy to help them feel better. You can also share your exciting news and blessings so that we can all rejoice for you.

Supporting Worthy Causes - Peaceful Willow supports causes that assist indigenous groups and the planet itself along with its beautiful creatures and we welcome your assistance. You will find our 'Worthy Causes Links' in the footer of the website. We hope you'll take the time to contribute to one of the many important causes, even by promoting awareness with your individual network rather than contributing money.

Contributing Articles - We welcome your article submissions for any of our classifications, whether an expert in your field or someone wishing to share personal experience with a subject.

Spreading the Word - We rely on word of mouth as our major source of visitors so we encourage you to tell your family, friends and associates about us, as there really is something for everyone.

Advertising & Promotion - We have a number of advertising and networking options available. Advertising your business on the Peaceful Willow website indicates that you are an ethical and positively focused business whose values are in line with ours. See the Advertising page for more info.
