"If the task seems too big, break it up into many small steps, and look at them one after the other. This workshop has not only equipped me with fundamental theoretical knowledge - we were served enormous portions of delicious food for both our minds and stomachs - but also with courage. Patrick’s profound teaching and Monomito’s inspiring live example helped me to get a much clearer view of what I want, and of the possibilities that I have, with the result that I now feel a lot more concrete and confident about going with screenwriting."

"Estes 5 dias no seminário da Arrábida foram uma experiência importante a nível da aprendizagem e da vivência. O Patrick, por ser também estudioso na área da narratologia, mostrou-me novas abordagens e um manancial de exemplos que apoiava a teoria de forma muito viva. Foram ainda importantes, o recolhimento e a excelência do Convento da Arrábida onde as estórias parecem sair de cada pedra, já para não falar do caloroso acolhimento da Monomito e da excelente companhia dos restantes participantes. Uma experiência a repetir!“
Conceição Garcia, Portugal

"Not only is it set in a rather  dreamy exotic location,  It's a remarkably well organized and ambitious program administered by a young and vibrant team of working professionals. I highly recommend any workshops these folks offer."
