Inside, hollowness; what is

comes to me as a blow, but not

a wound

Archbishop Rowan Williams

About nChant
	Since 2003, this young women's choir with ages ranging from 14 - 40 has explored a contemporary approach to medieval music inspired by the work of contemporary & medieval ensembles such as 'Medieval Babes', Sarband, and Sequentia. But it is not just about the music. We seek to become an informal & supportive community, exploring our own spiritual journeys through contemporary & ancient songs & rituals, and encouraging an open, questioning and questing approach to spirituality.
