Markus Klepper - ONE Next Step - Training

I was a seminar junkie until I did the ONE for the first time in 2008 and the second time in 2016. For 15 years I have been, sometimes more sometimes less, in the context and faithful to it - teams, meetings, camps, seminars. A home in which I have found people who are and were role models and have become many real friends that I no longer want to miss in my life. Here I learned to ask myself the "right" questions, that I am okay with my complexity and what paths are open to me.
For me, ONE is a total work of art made up of many successful building blocks:

The seminar: multi-layered, expanding, challenging, clear, full of chances and invitations.
Markus Klepper: competent, philanthropist, transparent, authentic, direct, a miracle of energy.
The community: space for exchange, appreciative, contact possibility
The team: possibility to dock and deepen, to determine one's position, reflection
Meetings: get to know the person behind the context, make and maintain contacts...
and some more

There is no other seminar that has so fulfilled and enriched my life, both in terms of content and sustainability, as the ONE Next Step Training. Thanks to all who are always there with all their heart and soul!

One step closer

Indescribable. What should I write?
Incomparable to the previous retreats I attended, I was allowed to experience things and learn to accept myself. Self-acceptance, with this intention I went into the seminar, and felt or feel accepted. Showing myself the way I really am and dealing with it in love, how others perceive me, has strengthened my self-perception, so that I go into the world strengthened and have truly started my journeys. The ONE has fundamentally changed my life and I know this is sustainable, will continue to have an impact. The tender self (plantlet) has received a proper growth spurt.
Thanks to Markus, the team and all the other participants. Tom Tiggemann

The death of my wife about a year ago plunged me into a deep life crisis. A stay in hospital and a psychoanalysis were important and good first steps on the way out of this crisis. After that, on the recommendation of a good friend, I decided to participate in ONE. As an "interested, curious skeptic" it was a big step that took a lot of courage from me.
Spending time there with wonderful people and competent and confidence-inspiring leadership from Markus Klepper and his team was like a heart-opening adventure of a lifetime. The 12 days of the group felt like 120 days.
My aliveness is back, I feel my feelings in so many facets and I could open up and confide like never before. I feel safe in my skin and am no longer afraid of people and life. And I rediscover a lot of things that I switched off or dimmed as a teenager.
My students are very enthusiastic about their old teacher and my therapist (psychoanalysis) could not get out of her amazement in the first session after the ONE. She had me say "super work greetings" to the colleague who did such a good job.
I am very grateful for all this and glad to have made the decision to participate in ONE."

The ONE-Seminar is a gamechanger that broadens the horizon and enables the start into a self-determined, authentic, living life.
It achieves this through a concept that has been adapted again and again over the years, which enables a framework for healing and connection that does not exist a second time.
Markus himself leads this work with a very special passion and dedication. His decades of experience, his empathy and his authenticity make him a great therapist, both in the seminar context and in 1:1 coaching.
I can only recommend Markus Klepper and the ONE-Next-Step Seminar to everyone!

Many positive, untie huge knots in my head, through great rituals and many meetings with people. It is definitely not a cult. I can think independently and am not dependent on ONE. I am 39 years old, live in beautiful Switzerland (Zurich) and have been working as a fiduciary (tax consultant) for many years.

This is a very special and probably unique experience. I recommend this to people who are struggling in their current life situation, want to change things and don't know how.
Personally, I have found that in the middle of my life I have successfully built a career but lack many skills for sustainable satisfaction and happiness. Markus and the ONE team were the deciding factor in realizing what I needed to change. The ONE has opened my eyes and helped me change my life.

The ONE Next Step Seminar is a life guide, a compass and a map at the same time. No matter if you are in a crisis or just searching or curious: every participant will be positively surprised by the power, depth and sustainability of this seminar. Markus Klepper, with his competence and years of expertise, guides you safely and confidently through all processes. The seminar is unique and has little in common with coaching sessions, which can also be used in a professional environment.

In fact, I had to be persuaded to participate by a friend over a period of months. As a scientist, I could not imagine 'with the best will in the world' that 'something like this' could be right for me. Only after she swore to me that one is not overwhelmed with esotericism there and that the whole thing is not a cult, I registered. That was over 10 years ago and I have never regretted it - on the contrary, I am very grateful for the experience and changes in my life that were triggered by the seminar.

Somewhere once the sentence fell: "Markus Klepper - he loves people." I think that is the key to his work.

My motivation to attend ONE was first and foremost curiosity. Several people from my relatives had already participated in this seminar and I was pleasantly surprised how filled they had come back.
Everything that I was then able to experience in ONE exceeded my imagination in a positive sense. I would not have suspected that I would go home so richly endowed. It was a mixture of personal challenges and excellent lectures. Markus Klepper managed with his own style that we were all in very good contact with each other and were able to enjoy a loving atmosphere. Through my 2-year Christian counseling training, I already knew many of the topics, but was thus also able to draw a comparison for myself and realize that Markus Klepper is an absolute exceptional talent as a psychologist. He is extremely authentic and very approachable at all times. He has everything and everyone in view, everyone is valued and picked up where they are.
Amazingly, the ONE does not stop working after the ONE. After almost a year, I still notice movement in my personal development. My personal gain is inner freedom.
I wish all the participants and the team with and around Markus Klepper all the best.

Four and a half years have passed since I visited ONE.
I was at a point where I was wandering through life searching, many things felt stuck, I was looking for a way out of inhibiting patterns of belief and behavior that kept preventing me from finding good alignment, inner peace, being able to accept myself, to feel belonging and connected, to show up and come into my power. I had nothing less to gain than trust in myself, in the world and in life. I wanted to live, but I lacked direction about how life can succeed well, what my place is in this world, what tasks I have to fulfill, who I am. Much of my life was characterized by struggle and withdrawal, fears, self-consciousness, although it had long been safe and time to let go. Lightness, aliveness, self-care, -respect and -effectiveness, devotion, communication - all these were words that were difficult for me to fill with life, because I lacked the experience to put them into practice. My life felt like a pale template of what is possible, with stuck wings trapped in a far too narrow cocoon, more observer than shaper of a life that seemed to pass me by. I knew there was so much more to discover, to shape. And with the insatiable longing to taste more of the nectar of life and to be a part of it, I embarked on this venture.

Looking back, it sometimes seems to me as if my ONE was ages ago. It opened doors for me to open up to life and the world again. The 9 days were for me like a view through a burning glass, which shows how life, the world, also I can be, if one entrusts oneself to the processes, from which new things can grow and the I is carried by the self, the community, the greater whole. And it goes on - again and again new crevices open, from which the ray of life shines through. Through all the different experiences I made in my life since then - through accompanying seminars in the ONE context, team participation, support of important ONE companions and the daily walk through my life. Many small steps that result from this in the aftermath and deeply connecting, supportive things that grow, accompany and carry me. At the same time, it is so present and seems to me as if it were yesterday. That feels good, because it remains in my heart - as a guide and anchor, even when the winds of life blow harder.

What it takes for me to be able to entrust myself, to be able to open up, are for me tangible essential pillars in the work of ONE.

For me, ONE is characterized by its holistic view, which focuses on the individual as well as the collective and the larger whole, framed by a spiritual reference, which, however, does not appear detached, "unworldly" and fed by experiences, which are transferable in their contents or effects to everyday life. It directs the view to the human being as a being embedded in the community and the greater whole. In my view, this is very successful and true to life, since on the one hand it invites humility and modesty and at the same time, by addressing the self as part of the whole and thus showing the connectedness and co-responsibility as a formative being, it does not relieve us of our own responsibility for ourselves and society. Freedom and personal growth are not understood from an egocentric perspective in which mere self-development and a hedonistic life are placed in the center, as is unfortunately the case in some self-development seminars, but are always embedded in a larger context and the responsibility that goes with it is also considered.

The two-way view of the resources of the individual and the community was also helpful to me. It increases my sense of self-efficacy and lets me experience firsthand being able to breathe a sigh of relief and increasingly detach myself from the deep-seated feeling of having to do everything on my own.

Supportive for me was also the mixture of theoretical background and practical experience, which addresses all levels of being (body, mind and soul) - from my point of view essential to pave the space for deep experiences and encounters with oneself and others.

The ONE does not promise quick successes, but gives an honest inventory of what is possible; that it can first be the start of a path, an initial igniter to set various anchors, but the actual journey and work with what has been experienced can only begin afterwards, in order to be able to consolidate it sustainably. It does not thrive on the concept of a fast, sweeping, forced walk, but always emphasizes the importance of small, steady steps. As difficult as it is for me at times to endure this, to admit this to myself, it is at the same time important for me to know this as a framework, because it frees me from unnecessary pressure. I am not a friend of "loud", exuberant, fast acts, where the reverberation can quickly get lost, but rather like the quiet, powerful presence that lies hidden in the depth of the long matured.

Many participants name how decisively ONE shaped their lives. For me, it feels like a rebirth. Into a life that is much more colorful in its facets, although also significantly more challenging. At the same time I know that with every pain and every hurdle I run a little more into the arms of life. With all that it holds in store. I don't want to miss that anymore.

Sustainability as a central pillar of ONE is of inconceivable value to me. In addition to the long-term view of personal development, the social level is always addressed, as far as the framework allows.

The ONE can have a lasting effect on many things. If one wants to, the possibilities are there to continue the way together and to be carried by the resource We. For example, a few weeks after the ONE on the following weekend, in which experiences are reflected and further consolidated, or in the smaller, but for me no less intensive seminars, which are dedicated to various life topics. There is a protected digital member area for the exchange of former participants and always the support of Markus and other experienced people from the team, if you need it.

What also makes ONE valuable for me is the lively-moving and at the same time sustainable concept. It opens itself up to developments where adjustments are needed, and at the same time always remains true to itself in its foundations and values. A reliability and stability that gives me the necessary security and orientation to be able to get involved.

People are the focus of our work, not financial gain. This is perceptible. Not only through the good price-performance ratio, which basically cannot be upgraded with money, but also through the tireless commitment of all the people who dedicate themselves to the work, sometimes over decades. It lives from the commitment and lifeblood of many who form a supporting framework. This longevity and commitment, far removed from financial profit maximization in these sometimes fast-moving times when reliable anchors are hard to find, are indescribably precious to me.

The ONE is carried by a large team, which acts supportively in the background without being obtrusive. Thus it is both space-giving and -opening at the same time, which is of great value in order to give the work a protected framework.

For me it was important to have an experienced therapist at my side in Markus, with whom I could deepen the path through conversation sessions until today. His broad view has often been a great help to me when the focus for the whole was a little "lost".

I appreciate Markus very much, as a person in his attitude and presence, his values and the way in which this is reflected. He is approachable, authentic, sincere, reliable and with integrity, at times also very direct and provocative, but always out of a loving, approachable attitude and a sincere interest in something moving and developing for the individual, which can certainly serve as an eye-opener. I don't have the feeling that he thinks in pigeonholes, but engages with the individual with as open and unbiased a heart as possible. With him I feel safe, seen and in good hands. All these things were essential door openers, without which I would never have been able to go this way.

The ONE was for me the beginning of a path that makes me understand more and more, makes me want more and gives me hope that carries me. The waves in my life have become more, but internally a bridge has been built, paved with more confidence, calm and clarity, to be able to walk this path better and better.

Today I may learn to go further into trust, to show myself more and more, to accept, to be more mindful, to invite self-efficacy, to set boundaries and to open myself to the we. I may learn how important it is to make decisions and what a significant influence angles and attitudes have in life.

It's a long, lifelong journey, but the worry of "losing" myself in all the challenges goes some way. This feels good.
I am so grateful to life for this gift that it led me to ONE, giving me not only a family, but also and especially the gift of being able to participate in how people have new experiences, grow from them, and carry that into the world. That is the greatest gift for me.

The ONE next Step Seminar of Markus Klepper and his team is for me "work on humanity", everyone should have done it once! "People get sick through people and get healthy through people", I was allowed to experience this very often here in this special setting/space, during my participation in 2011 and afterwards again and again as a team assistant. For me personally, the ONE seminar was a very valuable experience and an important foundation stone that I now carry in my heart. My significant other's seminar was a gamechanger for our relationship. Grateful for that.
Unfortunately, it was not right for my sister, who also attended.
The ONE is challenging, touching, moving, cheering, embracing....special.
I wish humanity that Markus Klepper with his personality makes this seminar for many more years!

My One next Step was 14 years ago and it has been with me ever since. The 9 days felt like 6 to 8 weeks. I found my laughter again, and since then I can see the beautiful things in life again. A friend once said to me: He got answers to questions in One that he didn't know before. It is always amazing and remarkable how Markus Klepper can inspire people with simple things and impulses to go to and beyond their limits, to have experiences that can accompany you throughout your life.
Many thanks, Markus!

Am I still alive or am I being lived?

I asked myself this question pretty much exactly one year ago and had to realize that I was lived by my external circumstances!
I admitted to myself that I had let myself maneuver into a hopeless dead end. My part in this rather joyless life situation had to be experienced and transformed.
In the meantime I had read a lot about toxic relationships. Which changes of the own personality go along with it, if one is stuck in it for decades (parental home and marriage) and doesn't know at all what a good relationship to oneself and to other people consists of.
In the meantime, the adventurous 20-year-old had become a 60-something who, after the separation, crept through her life like a burnt-out empty shell. Always on guard not to make a fuss, not to attract attention, to function well-behaved and adapted for the good of all, and lost herself in the process.
I didn't want to go on like this through the autumn of my life. Where was my zest for life, my curiosity about everything new? I wanted to have my own acquaintances again, joy in common undertakings. I wanted to regain my self-worth and self-confidence. To feel my very own needs and to represent them in front of the world without guilt and shame! To clarify my relationship to myself and to my fellow men for a joyful togetherness!
When I heard about ONE, I registered without any research, because I had nothing left to lose anyway. I could only win.......!
And I won and am still winning! My zest for life and curiosity about everything that is coming, trusting that everything will come into my life at the right time. I am in the process of learning to say no, to stand up only for myself, without feeling guilt and shame. Resentment for my previous, rather unfulfilling life, is increasingly giving way to gratitude for everything that has happened to me, because it has made me the woman I am now and who feels daily what it means to love myself more and more and to be gracious with myself when I fall back into old patterns.
I try to see problems as challenges and embrace them as opportunities for my continued growth and to get help when I feel overwhelmed.
I have been able to rediscover my desire to dance. Dancing, as well as spending time in nature, have become the biggest energy tank for me in addition to all the meetings around and through the ONE contacts.
Should I ever stumble, I get help from all the companions I have met so far, due to the fact that I also attended Markus Klepper's other seminars. We are one family, the ONEie family, and we stand up for each other. And in case of emergency Markus Klepper himself stands by us, also beyond the period of the seminars. It is a pleasant warm feeling for me to be in contact with so many appreciative and mindful people and to be able to maintain an honest exchange.
I admire Markus' tireless commitment in the seminars, but also beyond. Markus Klepper knows how life works, has a wealth of experience that he likes to share in such a captivating way in his lectures. He elicited many a tear from us participants, but also conjured up many a smile on all our faces......
Thank you dear Markus for your being and your work for the benefit of all in this world!


Sanne, self-employed, Summer ONE 2022

One can be carried by waves of life if they do not swing too much up and down. Perhaps this is the most important thing I learned and experienced in the One at Easter 2022.
After a breakup, I was in such a life crisis that I no longer recognized myself and was about to go to a clinic. A friend recommended One instead, which exceeded all my expectations. It led me to regain access to myself and my emotions, my zest for life has reawakened and my fears have disappeared - I am well on my way to loving myself.
The mixture of competent psychological counseling, which is not only based on the theory of a school, of deep emotional experiences, connection with the group and the Teamer:innen, the joy of life, which is experienced in this seminar, is difficult to put into words - you simply have to experience this seminar.
The success of Markus' work lies in his love for people. After so many years he is not hardened, but is always there for his Onies and this sustainable. After the One I had some valuable therapy hours, but soon I didn't need them anymore. Markus gives you security, you can always call him if you are in an emergency situation. This is unusual for a therapist, does incredible good and shows that he cares about the people he works with. This is what makes the One experience so unique - I have learned and experienced that the waves of life can also be beneficial, because through them you also feel that you are alive.

My participation in the seminar "ONE NEXT STEP" in 2013 was actually the beginning of a journey that still continues today - 10 years later. In these 9 days, I received an invitation, so to speak, to look deeply into the eyes of my old behaviors, patterns and beliefs. Not an easy process, a roller coaster of emotions, not always pleasant and yet healing and pointing the way. At that time I set out and worked on my attitude broom stroke by broom stroke - for this unique chance I am infinitely grateful.

Markus Klepper and his team provide a safe and protected space from the very first second, in which the group feels at ease, each individual can open up with confidence and is also caught. The seminar follows a clear conceptual structure, which at the time seemed to me more like a natural flow. The ONE lives from the profound professional and personal experiences of Markus Klepper. He is a heart man with a passion for people and knows what he is doing and what he is talking about.

I am still connected with the ONE and Markus and can strongly recommend his work as a gift for the soul.

Namasté, Sandra

As for most, the ONE-NEXT-STEP-TRAINING (Easter 2017) was also for me one of the most important experiences in my life. I had read many books before and set important course. And yet I often felt helplessly trapped in the eternally same patterns. Unable to free myself from them.
In One, for the very first time, I had the credible experience of being accepted as I am right now, supported by and in full trust of the group. Finally knowing that it was not I who made my parents' lives difficult, but they made mine difficult. I had never thought of that before. And yes, I do have strengths. And others can see them!
Not everything was nice. But it was necessary to look. I got to know myself with sides I didn't know I had and saw exactly what was standing in my way.
Markus was the competent partner, guide and friend, who saw both in me, the deeply hurt and shy girl and the strong woman, which I am at the same time.
Today I lead a life that I would never have dared to dream of. Taking PS to the streets. Yes, that's what I did. And Markus was a support for me. In ONE and also afterwards.
I can only recommend the seminar. If you really want to change something in your life, not just talk about it, then this is the right place for you.

The ONE NEXT STEP training was an indispensable turning point in my life. In 2005 I had the chance to participate and since then my life has developed steadily and sustainably for the better. Before, I was faced with what felt like a shambles in the areas that are so important for happiness in life: Relationship / partnership, profession and family of origin, this has since pacified and relaxed.
I was able to open up new paths for myself, as well as a deeper understanding of who I am and what I want in life. What makes me happy and enriches me in depth and gives me satisfaction.

Through an excellently designed and executed 10 days of training by Markus Klepper and his team, together with the numerous offers of "aftercare for complex issues" (system and energy/seminar, collaboration in the team at the seminar itself in subsequent years, Zoom coaching opportunities, ...), I continued with a lot of focus after the training.
Markus Klepper has a great gift to listen, to accompany, to name and to bring things to the point. No matter how confused the situation may seem inside a person!
His benevolent, understanding way, but also his clarity and power, precise analysis and also his directness, supported me to find again ease and a direction when I felt disoriented.
Clearly, it is not a walk in the park to clean up your own life - but with Markus Klepper and the ONE NEXT STEP you are at an excellent address.

Genuine recommendation for personality development! Intensive, human, with depth.
Markus Klepper has developed an effective concept that is probably unique in the field of personal development. In the last 25 years I could get to know several seminars in the field of personality development, but none has reached this level of liveliness and intensity. As a seminar leader, he does not make a big personality show, with which some coaches put themselves in the limelight, but works with a therapeutic background, the appropriate attitude and a lot of heart on the concerns of the people. With great empathy he enables them to deal with their own obstacles and entanglements and to free themselves from them.

Twelve years ago I attended the seminar for the first time and was able to set a decisive course for my life during a difficult phase.
It has given me orientation and focus to this day, and valuable friendships have developed that are still alive today. Four years ago, I even attended the seminar a second time to recharge my batteries and enjoy this intense experience once again.

I participated in the ONE Next Step training in the summer of 2019. My life urgently needed new impulses and perspectives - in short, I needed new glasses. I wanted answers and was ready to fully engage in the 9 days.
As a result, I was able to take away an incredible amount from the seminar.
Within the training I quickly gained confidence. The special atmosphere, the competence and personality of Markus Klepper as a seminar leader and expert in soul issues, the dedicated team around him, all this in a room that is safe, was a special gift for me.
I can unreservedly recommend the One and am very grateful that I dared to do it.
In the years after that I did the small seminars "Systems and Energy" and "Project B".
Markus Klepper also offers therapies and coachings due to his professional qualification of many years. It is a total package of offers - everything can nothing must.
It has given me the security to turn my life real. And that is quite alive!

Christine H., 54 years old, graduate in finance (FH)

I slipped insidiously into burnout at the end of 2019 and took the subsequent Corona pandemic with the lockdowns as a reason to retreat more and more into my cocoon. My self-worth and self-love were non-existent and I worked away at my family to get back into my own power. Some sessions with coaches who worked out my drivers, among other things, brought more clarity, but didn't help me out of the hole I felt I was digging deeper and deeper myself. A friend recommended ONE to me and after my wife was there, I made the decision to get involved.

The ONE is a gamechanger, an initiator, a rebirth. It liberates the beauty and goodness in everyone by relentlessly breaking down the barricades. Those who engage in this process will emerge strengthened and enlightened. The landing, the integration into reality, is a big task and certainly the sticking point afterwards. But with this tailwind everyone has the chance to change his attitude towards himself and his life. It takes courage to show up and live in this awareness and do it sustainably. But it is damn worth it!

For me, many things changed afterwards, especially my awareness of myself.
I am infinitely grateful to Markus Klepper and his team for this!
