This marked the end of the initial development phase by the core group Sarah Caird, Clement Jewitt, Rod Paton,  & Maxwell Steer, and was the first public presentation of our collective workshop style. One of the participants described it as follows:

We met in the octagonal music room of University College Chichester, at the invitation of one of our core group, Rod Paton, who is a lecturer there. Initially we simply sat in silence enjoying each other's presence, and then imperceptibly -I don't quite remember how- we just started singing together, arriving at a deep feeling of each other's musical personality in the 5 or 10 minutes we sang for. Eventually the improvisation concluded, and we returned to silence again. One or two people contributed thoughts that were relevant.
And then we picked up instruments (there was a wide range of percussion available as well as what we had brought individually) and played some more - but with an enhanced quality of listening based on the confidence each of us had of having been recognised by other group members.
A musical encounter exercise was followed by lunch. Afterwards we were led in some prepared 'musical offerings' by participants, which included a Sufi dance and vocal improvisation around a Hildegard Kyrie, and finally an African chant which evolved into an instrumental.
This was followed by a discussion of the objectives of Music & the Psyche initiated by thoughts presented by 3 of the core group. We concluded the day with a 'performance' in the chapel (a large modern rectangular building) which brought together the musical ideas which had been presented earlier in an extemporisation in which everyone shifted the shape (and their instrumentation) as the dynamic of the piece suggested.
Perhaps it doesn't sound much when described; but the essential sweetness of the occasion was the openness and the quality of attention with which each person was heard. Musically it was a rich exploration of the harmony produced by the interaction of the difference personalities - yes, sometimes there were 'unprepared discords', at other times delicious 'chains of sevenths' sustained tension until it was resolved in concord. Everyone left feeling greatly refreshed.
