Erie Expo to Feature Paranormal Experts, Astrologers, and Trance Channel Toni Ghazi

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 will feature a diverse lineup of paranormal experts, astrologers, mediums, and a trance channel, offering attendees an immersive experience that blends education, marketplace shopping, and live demonstrations.

Among the featured speakers is Toni Ghazi, founder of The Antarean Heart, an extradimensional trance channel known for his work with the Mantis Collective. Ghazi has appeared on Gaia's Beyond Belief and will present at the expo. Also on the agenda is Joel Salomon, an award-winning TEDx speaker and former hedge-fund manager, who will discuss "Prosperity Energetics: Turning Your Gifts into Predictable Income." Diane Trimbath, president of the Lake County Astrological Association, will explore the astrological implications of the Aquarian Age, while Dr. Rebecca Nicholson will address the connection between trauma, spiritual crisis, and paranormal experiences.

The expo will also feature paranormal investigators Tim Shaw and Daniel Klaes, owner of the Haunted Hinsdale House, as well as Frank and Heather of the Haunted Western Block, who will film an episode of their show The Chopping Block during the event. Attendees can expect gallery readings from mediums such as Rev. Marjorie "Chi Chi" Rivera, known as "The Pittsburgh Medium," and Cleveland-based Irene Achelois, along with interactive sound-healing sessions by Harper and Midwest Kind.

Woo, a metaphysician and host of The Woo Factor podcast, emphasized the expo's role in fostering community and curiosity. "This expo represents everything I have spent years building—education, healing, curiosity and community," she said. "People can hear these personalities share their knowledge and experiences, then meet them personally, continue the conversation and explore their work."

The event will include a marketplace featuring crystals, handcrafted jewelry, books, and wellness products, with general admission covering talks and select gallery readings. Tickets are priced at $10 for a one-day pass or $18 for a full weekend, with proceeds supporting the You Are The Miracle Center for the Spiritual Arts, a 501(c)(3) organization founded by Woo.

As interest in metaphysical and holistic practices continues to grow, this expo offers a platform for both practitioners and newcomers to connect, learn, and explore alternative perspectives on spirituality and well-being. For more details and to purchase tickets, visit the expo website.
