Suzy Woo, a metaphysician and holistic practitioner, will bring a diverse lineup of nationally and regionally known speakers, performers, astrologers, paranormal investigators, mediums, and an extradimensional trance channel to the Metaphysical, Holistical & Mystical Expo, scheduled for Aug. 15–16, 2026, at the Ambassador Banquet and Conference Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. The event, which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. both days at 7794 Peach Street, combines a conference, marketplace, and immersive experience, featuring talks, gallery readings, demonstrations, live performances, and a marketplace of readers, healers, practitioners, and specialty vendors.
The expo is created and produced by Woo, who is also a credentialed healer, holistic psychotherapist, sound healer, astrologer, psychic medium, educator, and host of The Woo Factor podcast. Woo said, "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."
Headlining the event is Toni Ghazi, founder of The Antarean Heart, an extradimensional trance channel known for his work involving what he describes as the Mantis Collective and other galactic beings. Ghazi has appeared on Gaia's Beyond Belief and will be presenting at the expo. Also featured is award-winning TEDx speaker, former hedge-fund manager, bestselling author, and prosperity coach Joel Salomon, who 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 and certified professional astrologer, will present "The Great Initiation, as We Enter the Aquarian Age," considering what current planetary cycles may reveal about changing structures, emerging technologies, and collective consciousness. Dr. Rebecca Nicholson will present "When Crisis Opens the Door: Moral Injury, Spiritual Crisis & Paranormal Experience," examining the relationship between trauma, spiritual crisis, and paranormal experiences.
Paranormal personalities include historian, author, and investigator Tim Shaw and Daniel Klaes, owner of the Haunted Hinsdale House. Klaes is also an author, television and film producer, paranormal investigator, and historic preservationist. 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 as they prepare a dish for audience members to sample.
Rev. Marjorie "Chi Chi" Rivera, known as "The Pittsburgh Medium," will offer readings. The Lily Dale-trained and ordained psychic medium and Spiritualist minister has served clients and students for more than 30 years. Cleveland-area medium, paranormal investigator, and media personality Irene Achelois, along with fourth-generation psychic medium Gregory Nicholas and Tim Shaw, will perform gallery readings and be available for one-on-one sessions at their booths.
Multi-award-winning Australian musicians Harper and Midwest Kind Sound Healing will provide interactive sound-healing experiences both days. These named personalities represent only part of the lineup; additional psychic mediums, intuitive readers, astrologers, healers, wellness practitioners, authors, artists, and spiritual educators will participate throughout the weekend.
The shopping marketplace will feature crystals, handcrafted jewelry, books, spiritual tools, wellness and bath products, artisan wares, make-and-take creations, and other distinctive items. 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 from participating exhibitors.
Admission is $10 for a one-day pass or $18 for a full-weekend pass. Tickets may be purchased 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 planned center will be dedicated to healing, education, creativity, community, and conscious living.
