Feburary 2025 Update

I have some great news to share! We have successfully found our new venue.  After much to-ing and fro-ing the contracts have been signed!  We are returning to Kensington High Street, and I’m thrilled to announce that we’ll be hosting our event at the Copthorne Tara Hotel. We’ve secured the largest space in the hotel, and I must say, the staff has been incredibly accommodating after hearing about our situation with the Holiday Inn cancellation. This might turn out to be a blessing in disguise and this change is apt for our Fool year and the space is bigger and better! Additionally, they are offering a special room rate, and I will provide more information on this as soon as the code is available.

This year’s lineup offers an international platform, and I’m considering reintroducing our ‘Tabletop Tarot’ sessions during the lunch breaks, much like we did in the early days. This format allows for smaller gatherings around tables instead of just a main stage, giving you the freedom to pick and choose the sessions that interest you.   To be honest I am thinking out loud lol but after 22 years, change is good.

I had the pleasure of being interviewed Jolanda, aka TarotJo we had a chat about the conference, and she asked me some really interesting questions such as …. If the conference was a Tarot card which one would it be (good question) after a moment or two it came to me, but you will have to listen here to find out more https://youtu.be/MKsTEn0A8e8

My Tarot by the sea retreat in April is full, we do have space for a couple of day attendees on Friday 4th April, I am so looking forward to this. http://tarotconference.co.uk/special-events/

Finally, I have a new website, I really felt that after a sticky start to 2025 I needed to shift the energy. The new website is very clean and unfussy, let me know your thoughts.

    November tends to be a slow month for work, which I deliberately chose. I close my books to focus on things I’ve neglected.
