Interfaith Spirituality and Spiritual Direction Training​​

Welcome Home
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.
Tacheria — a Yaqui word meaning ‘inner spirit’ or ‘inner journey’ — reflects both the native Southwest roots and the purpose of our center.
At Tacheria, we provide sacred spaces for deep listening and presence through spiritual direction and companionship, walking alongside individuals as they explore the sacred in everyday life.
We nurture the spiritual growth of individuals from all walks of life, fostering personal transformation, reflection, and a deeper connection to the Divine within and around them.
Through our programs, we guide and equip emerging spiritual directors with the wisdom, compassion, and skills needed to accompany others on their spiritual journeys with integrity and care.
Tacheria is a welcoming community rooted in interfaith respect, offering retreats, classes, and workshops that invite exploration, learning, and belonging across traditions.
