Welcome, Friend
We’re Glad You’re Here
Here at Tacheria, we are an interfaith community and school, dedicated to spiritual direction training, retreats, and spaces for deep listening and reflection. Our work is rooted in the wisdom of many traditions and grounded in the spirit of companionship.

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.
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.
