The Metaphysical, Holistical & Mystical Expo, created and produced by Suzy Woo, is set to take place August 15–16, 2026, at the Ambassador Banquet and Conference Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. The event will feature a diverse lineup of nationally and regionally known speakers, performers, astrologers, paranormal investigators, mediums, and an extradimensional trance channel, offering attendees a unique blend of conference, marketplace, and immersive experience.
Woo, a metaphysician, holistic practitioner, and host of The Woo Factor podcast, emphasized the expo's purpose: "This expo represents everything I have spent years building—education, healing, curiosity and community. People can hear these personalities share their knowledge and experiences, then meet them personally, continue the conversation and explore their work."
The lineup includes Toni Ghazi, founder of The Antarean Heart, an extradimensional trance channel known for his work with the Mantis Collective and other galactic beings. Ghazi has appeared on Gaia's Beyond Belief and will present at the expo. Award-winning TEDx speaker, former hedge-fund manager, and bestselling author Joel Salomon will present "Prosperity Energetics: Turning Your Gifts into Predictable Income," exploring the link between purpose, mindset, and consistent income.
Diane Trimbath, president of the Lake County Astrological Association, will discuss "The Great Initiation, as We Enter the Aquarian Age," examining current planetary cycles and their implications for changing structures, emerging technologies, and collective consciousness. Dr. Rebecca Nicholson will present "When Crisis Opens the Door: Moral Injury, Spiritual Crisis & Paranormal Experience," focusing on the relationship between trauma, spiritual crisis, and paranormal experiences.
Paranormal personalities include historian and investigator Tim Shaw, and Daniel Klaes, owner of the Haunted Hinsdale House. Investigators Frank and Heather of the Haunted Western Block will film an episode of The Chopping Block during the expo, combining paranormal banter, history, true crime, and cooking. Rev. Marjorie "Chi Chi" Rivera, known as "The Pittsburgh Medium," will offer readings, while Cleveland-area medium Irene Achelois and fourth-generation psychic medium Gregory Nicholas will perform gallery readings.
Multi-award-winning Australian musicians Harper and Midwest Kind Sound Healing will provide interactive sound-healing experiences both days. The expo also features a marketplace with crystals, handcrafted jewelry, books, spiritual tools, wellness products, and artisan wares.
General admission includes free talks, select gallery readings, a paranormal panel discussion, and sound-healing events. Personal readings, healing sessions, and marketplace purchases are available separately. Tickets are $10 for a one-day pass or $18 for a full-weekend pass, available in advance through the expo website or at the door.
Proceeds will support the development of You Are The Miracle Center for the Spiritual Arts, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded by Woo. The expo aims to create opportunities for education, discovery, and meaningful connection in a welcoming community for both experienced practitioners and curious newcomers.
