The Tarot is an ancient and magical craft. You don’t have to “be psychic” but, you’ll learn how to “listen” as the cards speak to us. My own tarot cards are now 30 years old, they’re a bit tattered and battered, but I wouldn’t change them for the world as they’ve told hundreds of stories!
Studying the Tarot is a route to symbolic and psychic insights that apply directly to our personal lives. Divination is not a magic wand but a powerful guide, showing us that we are all on our own journeys and how some things are meant to be, and how others are not. When you learn more about Tarot cards, you will discover how to seek and follow your path of good fortune.
Personal Tarot Readings
I spend most of the year in Greece, but did you know that it’s possible to do distance tarot readings? If you would like to book a consultation via WhatsApp do get in touch. There are also a limited number of face-to-face slots available during my times in London – dates for UK trips are always announced with several weeks’ notice or you can request to be put on the waiting list.

Greek Island Summer School Course 2026
The Summer School is based in Nidri, where I live. It’s a small resort on the Ionian island of Lefkada, on the west coast of Greece. I’ve lived here for nearly 30 years and run all the classes from my own home, in a covered area in the garden.
- The Tarot & Astrology course is in September
- There are no courses in July and August because it’s far too hot and too expensive because of high season prices.
Getting to Lefkada
The airport Preveza (PVK) is on the mainland and joined to the island of Lefkada by a short causeway, so there are no ferries involved.
- There are direct flights to Preveza from Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester. Average flight time is 2 hours 45 mins.
- The easiest option is to book a package with flight and room combined with a tour operator like Jet2 holidays, Tui, Olympic Holidays or Thomas Cook.
- You can also find prices for flights and/or packages on Skyscanner – destination airport Preveza (PVK)
- Prices are extremely variable and change all the time. Flights only should average between £200 and £300 return, sometimes less if there is late availability.
From Preveza to Nidri
Preveza is a very small airport. There are no long corridors, stairs or escalators to navigate.
- The coach or taxi transfer from the airport to Nidri is just 45 minutes. The transfer may be included in your package.
- If you’re booking flights and accommodation separately, I can pre-book a taxi, which costs 70 Euros each way – per taxi, not per person.
- You’ll usually share your taxi with at least one other person, often more, depending on how many people come in on the same flight.
I meet and greet everyone and organize a group meal for the evening before the start of the course.
Accommodation
I’m familiar with most of the hotels and other popular accommodation in the area. Many students prefer to book flight only and ask me to book their rooms.
- Prices range from 50 – 80 Euros a night, depending on the time of year and the location/quality. Often these rooms will be allocated in March / April.
- You’ll find a wide choice of self catering studios or rooms in small family run hotels on booking.com or similar platforms. But don’t fall for the “only one room left” trick! It’s rare for anything to be booked up far in advance.
- It’s also crucial not to book any rooms independently before consulting with me because I will vouch for the quality and the location. In the past we’ve had rooms booked in a different village or next to noisy hotels.
The course comprises 15 hours of study time:
- Study hours are designed to finish at 3.00pm each day so that you have plenty of time to sunbathe, swim, and siesta before meeting up again for the evening meals.
- I organise your pick-up for half an hour before class starts. The first day of the course starts at 11am to allow for body clock time (we’re 2 hours ahead of the UK) so taxi pick up at 10.30am, the other three days are taxi pickup at 9.30am.
- The cost of the taxi service to and from my house on the four study days is included in your course fee.
There are 10 places available for this course
- Put your name on the list if you want a place. You can either pencil in or you can guarantee your place by paying a deposit of £100.00.
- This deposit is non-returnable but transferable to a different course in the same season.
- The balance is payable 6 weeks prior to the start date in September and is then non refundable.
The course fees are £375. This includes all course materials and the taxi service to and from my house on the four study days.
