Writing Saturdays to awaken your creative potential, unlock your writing, and expand your authentic expression.

We all carry hidden stories — whispers of the soul — waiting to be born. Perhaps the time has come to tell yours.

Each Saturday invites you to awaken the writer within — whether to write a book, deepen your personal writing, or rewrite the stories of your life from a new perspective (your present self).

Through evocative prompts, meditations, music, movement, systemic explorations, and a variety of writing exercises, we’ll open creative channels and explore different narrative styles.

Journeys of expression, presence, and reconnection with your unique voice.

WE ALREADY HAVE 3 DATES so you can choose the Saturdays you’d like to join:

Saturday, October 11th — THE FLIGHT OF WRITING

In this first gathering, we will explore original forms of expression through exercises and tools that expand personal imagination, verbal elasticity, and creative boldness. To unlock, to unveil new landscapes of writing, in search of your voice and potential.

“Words are wings. This Saturday, we’ll fly.”

Saturday, October 25th — THE BODY AS CHANNEL

This Saturday we will explore intuition. We will open to the field of all possibilities and to a kind of writing we never knew existed. Through meditations, music and movement, and other practices that awaken intuition and the body-as-channel, we will give voice to what emerges from that invisible field where stories await us.

“What if the body tells the story? What if the text is already written inside you?”

Saturday, November 22nd — THE MAGIC OF MY STORY

This Saturday we will explore stories that define us — and that sometimes ask to be retold. We will give body to some of these personal narratives, with greater clarity, freedom, and poetic strength.

“There are stories that inhabit us. And there is the moment when we choose to inhabit them back.”

Testimonials about working with Ana Teresa Silva:

"A reconnection with myself, a freeing of judgments, obstacles, and blocks… I compare working with Ana Teresa Silva to a journey of discovery through the contours of our creative and intuitive essence. Through meticulously interwoven challenges, I traveled through emotions, scents, feelings, and memories that unfolded into fluid texts, unblocked and free of fear or judgment. Feeling the power of resonance in my writing was a big step toward wanting to keep writing more and better. Ana Teresa facilitated this process for me. I’m very grateful."

Ana Pracaschandra, journalist

"Writing became uncomplicated and is now part of my daily life. The proposed exercises, as well as the feedback after reading them, allowed me to understand the potential and the current limits of my writing. Only then can I work on it and make it increasingly capable, using the wealth of tools provided by facilitator Ana Teresa Silva. Each exercise brief was always an open door to creativity: it guided us toward areas of greater or lesser (dis)comfort."

Andrea Rocha, sociologist

"I especially appreciated the practical aspect… We were presented with various exercises and methods that helped us seek personal imagination, verbal elasticity, and creative boldness. The presentation of “games” to unlock each person’s uniqueness, the creation of scenarios, situations and characters — these are tools that clearly helped me overcome the blank-page syndrome."

Nuno Simões, finance director

"A challenge that became an inner journey… At times intense, but always rewarding. There are unforeseen paths that lead us to discover hidden corners of ourselves and of those we write about. This workshop led me along those paths, opened windows, unveiled unexpected landscapes… Time flew and my heart felt full. I finished wanting to explore more and more. I look forward to more challenges like this."

Fátima Serpa, Manager

"Ana Teresa Silva’s facilitation was masterful… Unhurried and determined. Without shying away from responding to her own writing challenges, with ambition and a well-defined program, attentive and demanding without being directive, flowing in tune with the group’s evolution. And what a great group of people passionate about writing, about life, with very different styles and willing to share what they wrote, without judgment, with openness. I loved it and recommend it."
