What else is going on in the CEE Association? A lot!
You can only initiate positive change in others if you yourself are keen on new things and further development. In the CEE Association, we attach great importance to making appropriate offers to our members. For example, in addition to general meetings, we also hold events on special topics. It is just as important to us to share the association’s expertise and experience with the outside world so that others can benefit from it. Be it in the form of lectures, workshops or book publications.

Princess Aruna – A royal guide to reconciliation
Mechthild Batzke, ISBN 978-3-9818925-2-9, 2019
The book is an illustrated fairy tale for adults. It tells a story about dealing with feelings.
The design of Aruna is also unusual because the core of the conflict (the coveted dress) has been lovingly sewn into each copy by the author as a felt dress. > more
Crazy out of love: How we manage to recognize family entanglements and deal with them in a new way
Mechthild Batzke, ISBN 978-3-9818925-0-5, published by Stephanie Feyerabend, 2017
This book illustrates and analyzes the pitfalls of family relationships in a vivid, exciting and humorous way. At its core, it is about how much love and loyalty (especially towards parents) can lead you away from what would be good and right for you. The author provides interesting insights into her practical experience as a family systems coach and valuable tips on how to recognize problems in family relationships and solve them through practical change work.
All books are available directly from the author. Order by mail or phone.
