Phrase Maze | Look On The Bright Side

We’ll gather in the Kota to explore the phrase Look On The Bright Side.

In our Phrase Maze, we begin with our instinctive reactions to a familiar phrase and follow where our collective curiosity leads us. As we spend time with the words, layers often peel back, revealing subtle meanings and unexpected connections. This exploration sets the creative current for the month ahead, feeding into our next issue of Coming To Our Senses (our community zine).

Reflection Questions

You’re welcome to join the conversation or quietly observe and reflect. These questions might help you begin exploring the phrase Look On The Bright Side in your own way:

• What poems, stories, songs, or artworks come to mind as echoes of this phrase?
• What feelings or memories come up when you first hear these words?
• If you sit with them a little longer, what else starts to emerge?
• How do these words shape or challenge your sense of self?
• In what ways do they reflect or influence the culture(s) around you?

Starting The Next Zine Cycle

The Phrase Maze is often where seeds for our next issue of Coming To Our Senses begin to grow.
You might find yourself inspired to create something – a piece of writing, photography, visual art, research, or an abstract reflection. You might feel a pull to explore an idea without knowing what form it could take yet. Or you might enjoy being part of the collective brainstorming that helps spark ideas for others.

Wherever you find yourself, this is where it starts.

We record the session, so if you can’t attend live, you can catch up on the conversation and explore later at your own pace.
