Our Mission
Believing love and peace to be gifts living in all of us, Tacheria Interfaith Spirituality Center is dedicated to promoting spiritual growth and companionship in groups and individuals so we may serve as examples of wisdom in the world.
We are the home of Tacheria Interfaith School of Spirituality/Spiritual Direction (in person/Tucson)
NOTICE FROM OUR BOARD OF DIRECTIORS: Wisdom’s Way Interfaith School (online program) is no longer offering classes due to low registration, a decision made by the Tacheria Center Board as of September 1, 2025. The remaining students will now join Tacheria in-person class in Tucson. We thank all of our Wisdom’s Way leaders, especially founders, Kathy and Gil Stafford, and our Wisdom’s Way students for their dedicated service, study and practice as they have shared our mission and touched many lives. (See letter from our Board)
Do you want to go deeper?
Tacheria, a Yaqui word meaning inner spirit or inner journey reflects both the native Southwest roots and the purpose of our center:
- to offer spiritual direction and companionship
- to help people grow in spiritual maturity
- to train spiritual directors
- to provide a multifaith spiritual home through classes, workshops and retreats.
