The Metaphysical, Holistical & Mystical Expo, created by metaphysician Suzy Woo, will take place Aug. 15-16, 2026, at the Ambassador Banquet and Conference Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. The event will feature a diverse lineup of paranormal investigators, astrologers, mediums, and a trance channel, offering talks, gallery readings, demonstrations, and a marketplace.
Woo, who also hosts The Woo Factor podcast, said the expo represents her years of work in education, healing, and community. Attendees can hear speakers share their knowledge and then meet them personally to continue conversations and explore their work.
One of the featured presenters is Toni Ghazi, founder of The Antarean Heart, an extradimensional trance channel who has appeared on Gaia's Beyond Belief. He will discuss his work with the Mantis Collective and other galactic beings.
Award-winning TEDx speaker Joel Salomon, a former hedge-fund manager and prosperity coach, will present "Prosperity Energetics: Turning Your Gifts into Predictable Income," exploring the link between purpose, mindset, and income.
Diane Trimbath, president of the Lake County Astrological Association, will lecture on "The Great Initiation, as We Enter the Aquarian Age," examining current planetary cycles and their implications for structures, technology, and collective consciousness.
Dr. Rebecca Nicholson will address "When Crisis Opens the Door: Moral Injury, Spiritual Crisis & Paranormal Experience," focusing on the relationship between trauma and paranormal experiences.
The expo will also feature paranormal personalities such as 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 live, combining paranormal talk, history, true crime, and cooking.
Rev. Marjorie "Chi Chi" Rivera, known as "The Pittsburgh Medium," will offer readings, as will Cleveland-area medium Irene Achelois and fourth-generation psychic medium Gregory Nicholas, who will also perform gallery readings.
Multi-award-winning musicians Harper and Midwest Kind will provide interactive sound-healing experiences both days.
The marketplace will feature crystals, jewelry, books, spiritual tools, wellness products, and artisan wares. General admission includes free talks, select gallery readings, a paranormal panel, and sound-healing events. Personal readings and healing sessions are available separately.
Tickets are $10 for a one-day pass or $18 for a full weekend, available in advance or at the door. Proceeds will support the You Are The Miracle Center for the Spiritual Arts, a 501(c)(3) organization founded by Woo.
