The Conscious Life Expo is the largest New Age health and wellness expo in the United States, and one of the longest-running. It’s usually a genial, chaotic circus. For three days every February, the halls of a Los Angeles Hilton burst with psychics, UFO experts, self-proclaimed lightworkers, and healers of all stripes, plus table after table of crystals, pyramids, oils, potions, and dubious cure-alls. And as founder Robert Quicksilver said recently, the expo made it through the pandemic by the skin of its teeth.

“We survived,” Quicksilver said in a recent phone call. “It wasn’t so easy.” The 2021 expo happened online, and 2022, he said, took place at its usual location, but was a little quiet. “People were still afraid.”
