The Metaphysical, Holistical & Mystical Expo, created by metaphysician 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 paranormal experts, astrologers, mediums, and speakers, including extradimensional trance channel Toni Ghazi, TEDx speaker Joel Salomon, and renowned medium Rev. Marjorie "Chi Chi" Rivera. The expo aims to provide an immersive experience combining education, healing, and community.
Woo, who is also a holistic psychotherapist, sound healer, and host of The Woo Factor podcast, emphasized the expo's role in bringing together varied perspectives. "This expo represents everything I have spent years building—education, healing, curiosity and community," she said. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear presentations and then interact personally with the speakers, fostering deeper connections.
Key presentations include Toni Ghazi, founder of The Antarean Heart, who will discuss his work with the Mantis Collective and other galactic beings. Joel Salomon will present "Prosperity Energetics: Turning Your Gifts into Predictable Income," exploring the link between purpose and financial success. 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 society. Dr. Rebecca Nicholson will address the relationship between trauma, spiritual crisis, and paranormal experiences in her talk "When Crisis Opens the Door: Moral Injury, Spiritual Crisis & Paranormal Experience."
The expo will also feature paranormal investigators 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 their show The Chopping Block, which combines paranormal discussion with cooking. Gallery readings will be offered by Rev. Rivera, Irene Achelois, Gregory Nicholas, and Tim Shaw. Australian musicians Harper and Midwest Kind will provide interactive sound-healing sessions.
In addition to the speakers, the expo will include a marketplace with crystals, jewelry, books, and wellness products, as well as opportunities for personal readings and healing sessions. General admission includes access to talks and select events, with tickets priced at $10 for a day pass or $18 for the weekend. Proceeds will support the You Are The Miracle Center for the Spiritual Arts, a 501(c)(3) charity founded by Woo.
The event reflects a growing interest in holistic and metaphysical practices, offering a space for both seasoned practitioners and curious newcomers. For more information and tickets, visit the expo website.
