Germany

(Note:  A bit of history, the German Training in Power community had grown to 80-100 members around 1998 and many of us taught students there and developed many friendships.  The German group became an official TIP organization, creating a Board of Directors.  Christiane often visited the US for joint Board meetings, retreats and class work, and the German community was a valued part of Training in Power.  Christiane tried for many years, as I did, to identify and address the abuse, and when that didn’t happen, she began to enlist the German board members to address these issues with her.  The result was that they not only got nowhere, but were abused for their attempts at resolution.  Thus these powerful letters: Christiane resigns, followed by a letter in which the whole German community left Training in Power, followed by two open letters to Faye, as Christiane speaks out.
