The Metaphysical, Holistical & Mystical Expo, created and produced 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 speakers, performers, and practitioners, including extradimensional trance channel Toni Ghazi, TEDx speaker Joel Salomon, and renowned mediums.
The expo, running from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. both days at 7794 Peach Street, is described as part conference, part marketplace, and part immersive experience. Attendees can expect talks, gallery readings, demonstrations, live performances, and a marketplace with readers, healers, and vendors. Woo, who is also a holistic psychotherapist, sound healer, astrologer, and host of The Woo Factor podcast, emphasized the event's role in fostering education, healing, and community. “People can hear these personalities share their knowledge and experiences, then meet them personally, continue the conversation and explore their work,” she said.
Among the headliners, Toni Ghazi, founder of The Antarean Heart, is known for his work as an extradimensional trance channel involving what he describes as the Mantis Collective and other galactic beings. He has appeared on Gaia's Beyond Belief and will be presenting at the expo. Joel Salomon, an award-winning TEDx speaker and former hedge-fund manager, will present “Prosperity Energetics: Turning Your Gifts into Predictable Income,” focusing on the link between purpose, mindset, and income. Diane Trimbath, president of the Lake County Astrological Association, will discuss “The Great Initiation, as We Enter the Aquarian Age,” examining planetary cycles and their implications for societal change. 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. Frank and Heather of the Haunted Western Block will film an episode of their show The Chopping Block, which combines paranormal discussion, history, true crime, and cooking. Mediums such as Rev. Marjorie “Chi Chi” Rivera, known as “The Pittsburgh Medium,” and Cleveland-area medium Irene Achelois will offer readings. Multi-award-winning Australian musicians Harper and Midwest Kind will provide sound-healing experiences.
The event's significance extends beyond entertainment to potential impacts on attendees and the broader community. For individuals interested in spirituality, wellness, or the paranormal, the expo offers an opportunity to engage directly with experts and explore alternative perspectives. The inclusion of talks on prosperity and crisis may provide practical insights for personal and professional growth. For the Erie region, the expo could attract visitors and stimulate local economic activity, as it brings together a niche community of practitioners and enthusiasts.
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. The planned center aims to be a hub for healing, education, and conscious living. This philanthropic element underscores the event's broader mission to foster community well-being.
Tickets are $10 for a one-day pass or $18 for a full weekend, available in advance through the expo's website or at the door. For more information and the full schedule, visit the expo's official website.
