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 bring together a wide array of speakers and practitioners, including paranormal investigators, mediums, astrologers, and a TEDx speaker, offering attendees an immersive experience that blends education, healing, and marketplace shopping.
Woo, who is a holistic psychotherapist, sound healer, and host of The Woo Factor podcast, emphasized the expo's role in fostering community and curiosity. She stated, "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."
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.
Award-winning TEDx speaker Joel Salomon, a former hedge-fund manager and bestselling author, will present "Prosperity Energetics: Turning Your Gifts into Predictable Income," exploring the connection 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," considering current planetary cycles and their implications for changing 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."
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, a show that combines paranormal banter with cooking. Additionally, renowned mediums like Rev. Marjorie "Chi Chi" Rivera, known as "The Pittsburgh Medium," and Irene Achelois will offer gallery readings and one-on-one sessions.
Multi-award-winning musicians Harper and Midwest Kind will provide interactive sound-healing experiences. The event will also include a marketplace with crystals, jewelry, books, and wellness products. 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 weekend pass, available in advance at the expo website 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. The center aims to promote healing, education, and community.
