THE FLIGHT OF YOUR INNER WRITER
Is there a narrative in your heart, your memory, your bones, waiting to be given a voice?
Is there a deep sense of purpose in your soul that is calling you to awaken the writer and storyteller within?
Step away from daily distractions, immerse yourself in serene surroundings, discover a renewed sense of inspiration, AND GIVE WINGS TO THE WRITER that lives within.
First, explore writing exercises and prompts that push you outside your comfort zone. These exercises encourage you to practice new skills, broaden your vocabulary, and experiment with different narrative structures.
Then find your "Writing Channels" through Meditation, Music, Writing Constellations and Movement as complicit and divine stimulators.
And after having experienced these different writing styles, techniques, after exploring new ideas and perspectives, honing your craft and developing your unique voice, you'll have the sacred space and support that help the magic of your story emerge.
If you are interested in taking part in one of these retreats or organising one for your organisation/group, please send an email to: thejourney.portugal@gmail.com
Testimonials:
"A reconnection with myself, a letting go of judgements, obstacles and blockages. I compare this work with Ana Teresa Silva to a journey of discovery through the contours of our creative and intuitive essence. Through meticulously interwoven challenges, I travelled through emotions, scents, feelings and memories that unravelled into flowing texts, unblocked and free of fear or judgement. Feeling the power of resonance in my writing was a big step towards continuing to want to write more and better. Ana Teresa facilitated this process for me. I'm very grateful."
Ana Pracaschandra, journalist
"The act of writing has become uncomplicated and is now part of my daily life. The exercises proposed, as well as the feedback after reading them, have enabled me to realise the potential and current limits of my writing. Only in this way can I work on it and make it more and more capable, using the wealth of tools provided by the facilitator Ana Teresa Silva. The wording of each exercise was always an open door to creativity: it guided us towards areas of varying degrees of (dis)comfort."
Andrea Rocha, sociologist
"I particularly enjoyed the practical aspect, where we were presented with various exercises and methods that allowed us to search for personal imagination, verbal elasticity and creative daring. The presentation of "games" to unlock the uniqueness of each person, the creation of scenarios, situations and characters are tools that have clearly helped to overcome the blank sheet syndrome."
Nuno Simões, financial director
"A challenge that has become an inner journey, intense at times, but always rewarding. There are unforeseen paths that lead us to discover hidden corners of ourselves and those we write about. This workshop led me down those paths, opened windows, unleashed unexpected landscapes... Time flew by and my heart was full. I came to the end 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 programme, attentive and demanding without being directive, flowing in sync with the group's evolution. And what a great group of people with a passion for writing, for life, with very different styles and ready to share what they wrote, without being judgemental, with openness. I enjoyed it and recommend it."
Arthur Vasconcelos, Entrepreneurship consultant
