Carl Donaldson, DTCM, PhD, MMQ, will speak about the powerful role of Qi Gong movement and meditation to impact diabetes. Donaldson believes that every person can heal on a physical and emotional level through targeted nutrition, slow body movement, meditation, and breath work. He has grounded his approach in treating his clients and patients in the ancient Eastern philosophies that the ultimate balance in individuals is gained through approaching and treating the whole person through the integration of mind, body, and breath.

About the series
Navigating Diabetes Through Food and Community is a two-week program series with sessions held online and in-person at the Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library or the Grove Hall Stop & Shop.
Patrons are invited to join one or many sessions where they will learn from professionals who value scientific research and the important role community plays when treating diabetes.

Whether patrons have been diagnosed with diabetes, prediabetes, or live with someone with these diagnoses, all are welcome. Registration is required for each session.
