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