Only eight seats. One weekend. A sisterhood that doesn’t end when you drive home.
If you’ve been showing up for everyone except yourself, this episode is your invitation. Intuitive Spiritual Teacher Christine Marcario and her co-host Casey Taton of the Inner Spark podcast open up about Gathered, their intimate women’s retreat happening November 5–7, 2026 in Toms River, New Jersey. They share why this weekend was created, who it’s for, and why the first weekend of November is the perfect time to get calm, get clear, and come home to yourself before the holiday rush begins.
A few seats are still open, and doors close Monday. If this conversation speaks to your heart, don’t wait.
👉 Reserve your seat at Gathered
Gathered isn’t a one-and-done event with a rigid hour-by-hour schedule. Christine and Casey are personalizing the entire weekend around the women in the room, so every part of it is shaped by what you actually need. You’ll reconnect with your inner knowing, get clarity on your next aligned step, and leave feeling renewed, confident, and ready to finish your year strong, whether you’re starting a business, rebranding, or simply craving more of something in your life.
And with the retreat capped at just eight women, everyone gets to be truly seen and heard. No performing. No rushing to the next agenda item. Just real, heart-centered connection that continues long after the weekend, inside an ongoing sisterhood.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Gathered came together through divine timing (and why it moved from Sedona to New Jersey)
- Why there’s no hour-by-hour itinerary, and how the retreat is tailored to you
- How to get grounded and clear before the November and December chaos begins
- Why this time of year, when the veil is thinnest, is so energetically powerful for transformation
- Why the retreat is capped at eight seats
- What to wear, what it costs, and why the price was kept accessible
- Exactly how Christine and Casey help with airports, places to stay, and travel
- The honest truth about mom guilt, rearranging your schedule, and filling your own cup
- Why you don’t need to be afraid to travel solo, and how strangers become lifelong friends
Still on the fence? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Christine and Casey have a list of nearby airports and places to stay, there’s still space in one of the Airbnbs being rented, and they’re happy to answer any question. Fear doesn’t get to be the thing that stops you.
You go in a stranger. You leave with sisters.
