Welcome to Sacred Saturdays.

Every other Saturday | 10:30am โ€“ 4:00pm
West Studio, Ground Floor

Sacred Saturday is a nourishing one-day retreat held every other Saturday at Colet House โ€” a space to rest, refresh, and reconnect.

Since the 1950s, Colet House has been home to spiritual practice, inner peace, and community life. Sacred Saturday is a new initiative that carries this heritage into the present, adapting the timeless values weโ€™ve long upheld to speak to a modern audience and a changing world.

Rooted in the heart of what we do at Colet House, the day draws on the 4Ms: Music, Meeting, Movement, and Meditation. These four guiding themes shape each retreat, offering a rich and balanced journey through creative expression, embodied practice, deep reflection, and shared presence.

Youโ€™ll take part in four workshops throughout the day, each day inspired by these themes.
No previous experience is needed, just bring yourself. Youโ€™ll be gently supported by a dedicated host who will guide you through the retreat.
