Although the healing is gradual,
there are many options to explore.
One of these is The Serenity Shop
in Lower Lonsdale where weekly
seminars are held as a community
service for personal growth.

As 2 resource centre, it has
hundreds of books, tapes and lit-
erature on co-dependency as well
as other topics. Because of the in-
credible response to the last series,
Serenity is again sponsoring a
two-day workshop with Kellogg, a
family systems specialist, and
Harrison, a specialist in
disordered eating and family dy-

The path to recovery and
wholeness will be explored: Fin-
