Tacheria Interfaith Spirituality Center

Home of the Tacheria Interfaith School of Spiritual Direction

Tacheria — a Yaqui word meaning ‘inner spirit’ or ‘inner journey’ — reflects both the native Southwest roots and the purpose of our center.

Our Mission

Believing that love and peace live within each of us, Tacheria Interfaith Spirituality Center is dedicated to nurturing spiritual growth and companionship so that individuals and communities may awaken to their inner wisdom and serve as living examples of compassion and understanding in the world.

What we offer to support your journey through Interfaith Spirituality and Spiritual Direction Training

At Tacheria, we offer sacred spaces for deep listening and presence through spiritual direction and companionship, walking alongside individuals as they explore the sacred woven through everyday life.

We nurture the spiritual growth of individuals from all walks of life, fostering personal transformation, deep reflection, and a more grounded connection to the Divine within and around them.

Through our programs, we guide and equip emerging spiritual directors with the wisdom, compassion, and practical skills needed to accompany others on their spiritual journeys with integrity and deep care.

Tacheria is a welcoming community rooted in interfaith respect, offering retreats, classes, and workshops that invite exploration, learning, and a deep sense of belonging across traditions.
