25th Victory of Life Expo features Alexandria transformation speaker and coach Larry Watson


Many of us like our lives, but few of us really love them.

Speaker and coach Larry Watson of Alexandria specializes in helping people transform their lives into ones they genuinely love.

Watson, a transformation coach for professionals, will present “The Law of Attraction: Seven Common Obstacles to Unleashing the Next Level” at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 8 at the Victory of Light’s 25th Anniversary Expo, to be held April 8 and 9 at the Sharonville Convention Center in Sharonville, Ohio.

Watson will be one of the psychic, holistic and paranormal experts from around the country leading a record 90 seminars, the most ever offered at the bi-annual metaphysical event.

Three hundred psychics, healers, exhibitors and presenters will fill the Sharonville Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day for the Midwest’s largest metaphysical event.

Among prominent presenters at Victory of Light this year will be Memphis psychic medium Rhonda Manning, who was university tested with over 90 percent accuracy.

Watson’s workshop is designed to find and disarm our human foibles and unleash conscious success.

He is a certified coach, certified facilitator, and award-winning speaker. His book, Rough Pieces: The Treasure Map of a Cancer Survivors Journey is a testimonial to the search and discovery of untold blessing during challenging times.

“Transforming requires a person to have the drive to create success,” said Watson.

“Everyone is different and many people don’t take time to find out to find out where they are special and where their spiritual lives are. If people aren’t clear about their spiritual alignment—this is not religion; it’s how to relate to a power higher than yourself — they are more apt to struggle.”

Once you know what your values are, you can move forward in careers, relationships and improve physical and mental health, he added.

Expo tickets, $15 daily/$25 for both days, are available at the door. Children under 12 are free. Senior citizens over age 60, students, and active military with an ID receive a $2 discount.

“The nearly 6,000 people who attend our expo love the psychic readings, the shopping and the seminars,” said Victor Paruta of Clifton, psychic and VOL founder. “The expo is an exciting mix of entertainment and inspiration, a great place to recharge and discover something new about yourself. People always leave with smiles on their faces.”

Victory of Light started in 1992 as a small psychic fair in a hotel ballroom and grew to become Greater Cincinnati’s 13th largest convention based on annual attendance, according to the Cincinnati Business Courier.

The April 8 and 9 expo features some of the country’s best psychics, available for personal readings; healers using techniques such as Thai massage, foot reflexology and energy healing; and vendors creating a unique shopping experience with crystals, jewelry, art, pottery, essential oils, books, divination tools, herbs and exotic imported clothing. Aura photography and face painting will be available. VOL also offers a full menu of healthful food choices for sale in the Convention Center Ballroom.

Unique and new additions to this Expo include:

Rhonda Manning, who started her career as a professional psychotherapist, was skeptical of the paranormal until she discovered her own psychic abilities in her late 30’s after a series of profound spiritual visions. She is now one of the country’s leading psychic mediums. Her no-cost, one-hour “Speaking to Heaven Gallery” with readings for the audience takes place at Noon on Saturday. Manning will also conduct personal readings at the expo all weekend.

A “Blessing of the Animals” for attendee’s pets will be presented by Tibetan Buddhist Monks at 4 p.m. on Saturday at the outdoor veranda at the Main Entrance. The monks will also present Tibetan Buddhist Healing Ceremonies at 11 a.m. each day.
