July 2026 Update

July is a slow month for the conference; most things are in hand by now, and other than sending the final invoices for ticket payments and receiving the wonderful news that Weiser/Red Feather are to be one of our amazing sponsors for the conference, and creating new banners for the conference, I have had time to breathe. 

This month I spent a week in Paphos with my family.  My great plan to go see Aphrodite Rock hit a flaw. To be honest, it was much further away from where I was staying, and I couldn’t be bothered, lol, that’s the truth!   

Something that’s come on my radar this month is the ongoing issue with fake decks. It’s well-known and truly shocking, but it’s spilled into the art world, where paintings are being sold as Pamela Colman Smith originals when they’re not. I’ll share more about this at the conference.  All I will say for now on the matter is that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

The conference has only 3 tickets left for Friday and Saturday. If you cannot make it in person, there is always the virtual option http://tarotconference.co.uk/booking/  Also, look out for our giveaways via social media from August @UKTarotconference and FB: UK Tarot Conference Group; the publishers have been very generous!  

We’re excited to announce our annual Magician Card Competition! You don’t need to attend the conference to enter.  We have a great prize if you are UK-based winner (or you can choose a virtual ticket), and an international winner will receive a virtual ticket!  More details on the conference home page, and you can download the template here .

Finally, bookings are open for the 2027 Tarot by the Sea retreat. Ostara weekend 18 – 20th March 2027.  There are just 14 rooms available, and 9 have sold.   This is a beautiful few days of relaxation, tarot and friendships!  http://tarotconference.co.uk/special-events/

That’s all for July.

Have a great month

    My ‘Tarot by the Sea’ retreat is just weeks away, I have written new workshops, including one on Shadow work, this is not something I use much, however, as the words flowed, I realise how important understanding shadow energy is.   Exploring our emotions and uncovering what holds us back through shadow work can be incredibly…

    The first thing I did as we entered 2024 was to contact potential speakers and venue.  It is important to me that venue contracts are signed, and speakers lined up early in the year, that way I can breathe but still have plenty of room to play with if there are any hiccups along the…

    November tends to be a slow month for work, which I deliberately chose. I close my books to focus on things I’ve neglected. Right now, I’m going through my Tarot collection—some decks date back decades, and I honestly don’t know what to do with everything. I’ve accumulated over 100 books and more than 300 decks,…

    You would think six months prior to a fully sold-out conference life would be easy. If anything, it is picking up pace. I honestly don’t know where the time goes. My priority is always the conference, as you know the in person event is sold out, and I have been following up with emails checking that…

    This month, I had a meeting with the events team at The Copthorne Tara Hotel. Julie, my new contact, was delightful, professional, and on the ball, something I haven’t been used to in the past (lol).    She could not have been more helpful, which in turn stops me from hyperventilating!   Although we have a larger…
