From the first day I attended Sonoran Desert Center for Spiritual Living, I felt I was among friends and family. I was home.
WHERE WE ARE (THE REGION)
Living and Serving in the Sonoran Desert
Our center is located in Amado, a peaceful rural town 20 minutes south of Green Valley and 40 minutes south of Tucson. Ministers and congregants often choose to live in:
- Green Valley (active retirement community with great amenities)
- Sahuarita (family-friendly suburb)
- Tubac (arts district with a vibrant culture)
- South Tucson / Vail / Corona de Tucson (easy I-19 access)
Why ministers love this region:
- One of the most affordable areas in Southern Arizona
- Year-round sunshine and stunning desert sunsets
- A quiet, contemplative environment perfect for spiritual growth
- A thriving network of CSL communities across Arizona
- Close proximity to Tucson’s cultural, artistic, and metaphysical hubs
This is a location that supports both deep spiritual work and a balanced quality of life.
A Loving, Engaged, and Spiritually Mature Congregation
Our spiritual community is known for its:
- Warmth and kindness
- Deep appreciation for New Thought principles
- Strong volunteer leadership
- Active classes, workshops, and sacred circles
- Financial responsibility and transparency
- Commitment to service and outreach
- Heart-centered approach to spiritual care
We’re a community of elders and retirees, seasoned spiritual seekers, longtime metaphysicians, and newcomers who feel instantly at home.
We’re more than a spiritual center – we’re a spiritual family. And there's always room at the table.
