Originally of Welsh origin, Owen studied Core Shamanism in Australia and worked in the Aboriginal community. While in Australia he also studied Tarot, Hermeticism, Kabbalah and Jungian Psychoanalysis. He studied psychic healing at the London College of Psychic Studies.  Having studied Tarot for over 35 years, Owen developed and teaches our highly successful Diploma in Professional Tarot Reading.  Owen is a graduate and former employee of the USA’s Four Winds Shamanic Institute with certificates in Healing the Light Body, Soul Retrieval and Advanced Shamanism. Owen also has a PhD in Western Philosophy and a BPhil from the Pontifical University.  Owen’s work has been to fuse traditional shamanism with the western traditions of Kabbalah, classical mythology and psychoanalysis.

Owen studied traditional Despacho ceremony under the Peruvian P’aqo (or shaman) Don Sebastian Succlle Apaza for 8 years and has received from him the Mosoq Karpay initiation which qualifies him as a P’aqo in the Don Sebastian’s tradition.  Owen continues to study under P’aqos from that region.

“I am honored to receive the profound wisdom embedded in the Quechuan understanding of life.  It is a privilege to bring this wisdom to our students.  The P’aqo Nan, path of the P’aqo, is a profound approach to healing of self, community, and our relationship with nature. My aim is to make this wisdom accessible to all while staying as true to it as possible.”

Kamel Seklaoui

With a background rooted in the Ivory Coast of West Africa, Kamel has travelled extensively across Africa, Europe, and South America, immersing himself in diverse cultures and learning from various practitioners and mentors.

Kamel’s spiritual lineage comes from West Africa where he learned the way of the spirit through his adoptive grandfather and first mentor.

With a scientific background studying chemistry, Kamel wanted to explore the science behind the unknown realms of the spirits.

His journey took him to explore the universe within, understanding the functions of the body on a biological level, the mind and the emotions, the energy and its frequencies, and the spirit beyond the physical world.

Kamel has honed his expertise in a range of modalities, learning though the years:

• Shamanism from the Quechuan tradition through Green Tara College with Dr Owen and Majella
• Master in Energy Healing/Reiki through Healing From The Heart with Martha
• Breathwork through Soma and Pranayama with different mentors
• Spiritual Coaching through different mentors
• Life Coaching through Rhodes Wellness College
• Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapy through Daybreak Therapy
• Guided Meditation through different mentors

Kamel has developed a deep understanding of multi-dimensional awareness, both within himself and in others.

Grateful for the knowledge and gifts he has acquired, Kamel is passionate about using his tools to support and uplift the collective consciousness. He went on a journey from city to city around the world sharing all his tools and learning more tools to develop his abilities in order to serve the great consciousness.

He is committed to helping individuals unlock their true potential and create their best lives.

Eileen Smyth

Eileen has been practicing aromatherapy since 2014.  She is deeply passionate about aromatherapy, the healing properties of essential oils and how they can enhance peoples lives.

Eileen’s interest stems from her childhood passion of aromas. She noticed that when walking in the forests, being beside the lakes and fields, the aromas of nature improved her well-being.  A walk in the forest with the aromas, especially pine, would uplift the mood, revitalizing the senses and, as she often says, healing, mind, body and soul.  She truly believes aromas help to transform moods and assist the healing process.

Her passion was reawakened in 2013 when she was challenged with life-changing circumstances and she became fully immersed in aromatherapy as a healing journey. Eileen joined Green Tara as a student and became fully qualified by taking the ITEC Aromatherapy Diploma, as well as Reiki, Anatomy and Physiology, Indian Head Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Energy Management and the Teacher Diploma.  It was during this process that Eileen decided she was going to teach Aromatherapy and was delighted to be given the opportunity at Green Tara, which has been a huge part of her Aromatherapy journey.

Eileen loves to keep exploring and developing, keeping her passion alive by working at home experimenting with the oils to create healing balms, creams, massage oils and aromas to compliment healing.  Eileen loves to do nothing other than explain the synergy of gifts of nature and how they impart their therapeutic values.  She loves to encourage people to follow their passion and share her knowledge and empower and inspire students to achieve their full potential.
