This session combines time to calm and center, followed by creating and discussing modern and classic Haiku. Foster wellness through movement, creativity, and connection with others.

Tai Ku will start with 15 minutes of calming, centering Tai Chi and Qigong lead by Christine Bhe, followed by participants sharing, creating, and discussing Haiku. No experience or special ability is needed for either discipline. Each month will explore a new inspiration (Kigo). Come build a stronger community through open discussion among diverse groups in an inclusive and safe environment.

If you would like to learn more about Tai Chi, check out these resources in Tai Chi Sounds Interesting. If poetry is something you would like to explore, consider Appreciate and Create Haiku.

This opportunity is provided in partnership with Christine Bhe, and Cate Jones.

About the branch

The Broad Ripple community has enjoyed library service at various sites since 1930. The first stand-alone library opened in 1949 adjacent to School No. 80 and continued at that location until a larger branch opened in Broad Ripple Park in 1986. Facing a need for continued growth, the Glendale Branch was constructed in 2000 in Glendale Mall and became the country’s first full-service library located in a major shopping mall. 

In 2024, a new 24,800 square-foot Branch located at the site of the former John Strange Elementary School opened. The move into this new space began the next chapter of service to the vibrant Glendale community.
