Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA) is a fellowship of people whose common purpose is to develop healthy relationships. The only requirement for attending our meetings is a desire for healthy and loving relationships – with others, and with ourselves. 

Not sure if you might be co-dependent? Some patterns are: thinking we can take care of ourselves without any help; difficulty making decisions, or second-guessing the decisions we made; believing we are unworthy; trouble setting boundaries – yet feeling resentful when others overstep those unstated boundaries; fear expressing our own opinions; offering advice or help without being asked; losing rest or sleep worrying or obsessing about others and their problems; harshly judging ourselves and others… The list of patterns goes on.

We invite you to explore LIVING life rather than merely getting through life. There is hope for a new day with CoDA! It is suggested that newcomers try six basic meetings before deciding if CoDA is right for them. We meet Wednesdays from 1-2pm at the Lingonberry, enter at 218 W Water Street or from the rear parking lot; meetings are held downstairs. All attendees are always anonymous. Who attends and what is said stays absolutely confidential.

Winter is often a season of heavy and festive foods, as well as, a hard time to find fresh, local greens. Join Peter Kraus for an evening of innovation and inspiration seeking. Participants will get the opportunity to brainstorm and experiment with preparing light, crunchy and seasonal salads that are nourishing and fun so that they might sustain us until the spring growing season.

This is a hands on class that is gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan friendly, and is limited to 20 participants. Cost is $15 for Co-op Member/Owners, and $18 for community members. Call 563-382-4666, or register online at http://oneotacoop.com/education-events/ to reserve your seat.
