Our Story
TAC sits on land wintered by the modern day Shoshone and Crow Native American Tribes, along the back of the Absaroka Mountains. The property and each house eyes the historic Heart Mountain, a sacred land site for many Native American groups as well as the site for the historic Heart Mountain Japanese Internment Camp.
The center was founded by the Rev Daphne Grimes, an Episcopal priest, in 1989. It had been Daphne’s dream to cultivate a center of excellence to support and encourage individuals’ and artists’ spiritual journeys.

OUR Directors
Having found TAC in 2020, Robert and Rebekah Mason have been a catalyst to the world post-COVID with bountiful growth and hospitality. With a team effort from staff, the TAC board and the Dioceses of Wyoming, the space has doubled in its occupancy in five years and sees room for expansion with intention and prayerful purpose. The Mason family loves the prayerful work of stewardship, welcome, directorship and vision planning as the retreat center continues to thrive in the beautiful Yellowstone sphere of influence and ministry.
