Gluttony in the <strong>Glebe</strong>, book 2<br />
BY ALEXIS PALMER<br />
Following the success of last<br />
year's Gluttony in the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
cookbook, staff at The Body Shop at<br />
797 Bank Street will be publishing a<br />
sequel. The title is Gluttony in the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> II: Dining on the Deck. The<br />
price is $10. The recipes range from<br />
a golden carrot soup to tabouleh to<br />
venison marinades to great summer<br />
cocktails. We hope to launch the<br />
cookbook in the next month, so keep<br />
an eye out for it!<br />
The proceeds of the book go<br />
towards our Stop Violence Against<br />
Women campaign. Last year, we<br />
sent a local woman, who is a<br />
survivor of violence, to Outward<br />
Bound's Women of Courage program.<br />
This year, we hope to do the<br />
same.<br />
Women of Courage is a specially<br />
designed, week-long course that<br />
brings women together to share a<br />
powerful experience, while discovering<br />
the beauty and serenity of<br />
the natural world. Participants are<br />
given the opportunity to explore<br />
beyond their own perceived limitations.<br />
The program allows women to<br />
expand their capabilities and return<br />
to their regular lives with a renewed<br />
sense of strength and competency.<br />
The course is a seven-day journey<br />
that focuses on increasing selfesteem<br />
and self-reliance, building<br />
supportive relationships with other<br />
women, atid enhancing body awareness<br />
and a sense of physical strength.<br />
The groups are made up of eight to<br />
ten women, accompanied by two<br />
female Outward Bound instructors.<br />
