Tacheria Interfaith Spirituality Center

                   School of Spiritual Direction

 “Dedicated to supporting spiritual guides in their efforts to work in a multi-faith world.”

Class of Year 2014

We are now accepting applications for the next interfaith course in the training of those called to a vocation of spiritual direction or for those who are yearning for answers to their spiritual questions and want to be able to do something with this yearning. 

This course encompasses the beliefs of the world’s major religions and is open to ordained and non-ordained men and women.  Spiritual leaders from many disciplines make up the faculty and share their insights, knowledge, wisdom and experience during the two years of the class.

The School will begin in September, 2012 and classes will occur monthly on the second Saturday of each month from 8:30 A.M. – 3:00 P.M. for two ten-month sessions (September – June).  There is also a weekend retreat each year (January 11-12, 2013).

Interviews for the course will be conducted by Linda Williams, co-director, beginning in May, 2012, to discuss with each student the appropriateness of the course and mutual expectations.  A completed application and a $50.00 application fee are necessary for the interview to be held.

Learning in the school is both didactic and experiential.  Course members are asked to share their own experience and concerns as an important part of the learning process.  Texts are selected for each class and an additional reading list is available for class members who are expected to read at their own pace and interest.  One of the very important aspects of the school is the development of a community of participants and the sharing of support.

Enrollment is limited and a genuine commitment to attending all of the sessions is important. Students in the classes of 2013 and 2014 will meet together for faculty presentations but there are also opportunities for the individual classes to meet separately.

The School meets at St. Philip’s In the Hills Episcopal Church in the La Parroquia building located at 4004 N. Campbell (at River Road). Fees for the course are $500 per year not including the retreat cost.
