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 promises a diverse lineup of nationally and regionally known speakers, performers, astrologers, paranormal investigators, mediums, and an extradimensional trance channel, aimed at fostering education, healing, and community.
Woo, a metaphysician and holistic practitioner with a multifaceted background, emphasized the expo's role in bridging knowledge and personal connection: "People can hear these personalities share their knowledge and experiences, then meet them personally, continue the conversation and explore their work." The expo will blend conference-style talks with an immersive marketplace, offering gallery readings, demonstrations, live performances, and a variety of vendors.
Among the featured speakers is Toni Ghazi, founder of The Antarean Heart, known for his work as an extradimensional trance channel involving what he describes as the Mantis Collective. Ghazi has appeared on Gaia's Beyond Belief and will present at the expo. Joel Salomon, an award-winning TEDx speaker and former hedge-fund manager, will discuss "Prosperity Energetics: Turning Your Gifts into Predictable Income," exploring the intersection of purpose, mindset, and financial success. Diane Trimbath, president of the Lake County Astrological Association, will present "The Great Initiation, as We Enter the Aquarian Age," focusing on current planetary cycles and their implications for societal structures and collective consciousness. 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."
Paranormal enthusiasts will find a rich program with historian and investigator Tim Shaw, and Daniel Klaes, owner of the Haunted Hinsdale House, both featured. Investigators Frank and Heather of the Haunted Western Block will film an episode of The Chopping Block, a show that combines paranormal discussion, history, true crime, and cooking, with samples for the audience. Rev. Marjorie "Chi Chi" Rivera, known as "The Pittsburgh Medium," will offer readings, alongside Cleveland-area medium Irene Achelois and fourth-generation psychic medium Gregory Nicholas, who will also perform gallery readings.
The expo also includes interactive sound healing sessions by multi-award-winning Australian musicians Harper and Midwest Kind. Beyond the named personalities, a wide array of psychic mediums, intuitive readers, astrologers, healers, wellness practitioners, authors, artists, and spiritual educators will participate. The marketplace will feature crystals, handcrafted jewelry, books, spiritual tools, wellness products, and artisan wares.
General admission includes access to talks, select gallery readings, a paranormal panel discussion, and sound-healing events. Personal readings and healing sessions are available for an additional fee from participating exhibitors. Tickets are $10 for a one-day pass or $18 for a full weekend, available in advance through the expo website or at the door.
Proceeds from the expo will support the development of You Are The Miracle Center for the Spiritual Arts, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded by Woo, dedicated to healing, education, creativity, community, and conscious living.
