It's hard to put into words how much Markus Klepper and his ONE Next Step seminar helped me out of a serious life crisis.
After 17 years of what I thought was a happy marriage, my wife made it clear to me that things could no longer go on like this and that she could no longer imagine continuing our marriage under the current circumstances. Looking back, this was an incredibly healing initial shock and wake-up call that triggered a positive change in my personal lifestyle towards a more balanced and mindful way of life that I had previously thought impossible.
Initially, however, this shock triggered unprecedented existential fears in me, coupled with constant despair and feelings of powerlessness. I loved my wife (and love her even more today than ever before) and couldn't/wouldn't imagine a life without her. In this seeming hopelessness and helplessness, Markus Klepper came into play as a counselor through a recommendation from a well-meaning person. Thus began an exciting journey of spiritual healing and renewal.
First of all, however, Markus caught me and gave my anxiety-ridden psyche support and stability, as I was in mental freefall at the time. Markus' support ranged from specific and practical breathing exercises, which I used to alleviate my frequent panic attacks, to long and in-depth conversations in which we worked through the diverse and complex causes of this crisis. I was fascinated by the accuracy and eloquence with which Markus Klepper grasped even the most complex and confusing issues in a matter of seconds and got to the heart of the matter.
At the same time, he always showed a very authentic form of empathy, which helped me to accept the sometimes difficult insights for myself. Not only did I learn a lot about myself and my suppressed fears from the past, but I also felt fully understood and heard. This initiated a process of opening up and change in me, away from the mental constriction and imprisonment caused by my fears and compulsions, towards more self-care and an unconditional interest in the development of my wife (and not just my own development).
Participating in the ONE Next Step seminar played a crucial and complementary role in this metamorphosis.
Not only did the seminar bring me into contact with many wonderful people who are currently facing similar challenges in their lives. I also had the unique opportunity to deal with all facets of my life in an incredibly compact way in ten days of seminar work, without any interruption from the superficialities of daily life. It was this that gave me the courage and determination to make a real change in my life.
Today, one year later, my life is much more cheerful and carefree (if I ignore the worries about the current geopolitical changesx) than in all the years of my life before.
My wife and I have reconnected in many ways because my wife has noticed (and explicitly acknowledged) that I have undergone a noticeable and credible change, which she had always wanted for the last ten years.
That doesn't make us newly in love yet, but we are definitely on the right track and I look to the future with a lot of optimism and joy in my private life.
None of this would have been possible without the dedicated support and guidance of Markus Klepper and the ONE Next Step training program. I am very grateful for this.

Oh, how lovely what you write here.
It's great that you were able to experience so many positive things at ONE and that you took so much away with you. That makes me very happy.
Since your ONE at the turn of the year 23/24, we have made the work even more trauma-sensitive and changed the program accordingly. This allows the healing process to happen even more gently. Even after 30 years, we never stop absorbing new impulses and developing further.
And the connection you describe - great people and new friends - is particularly important to us. It makes a big difference.
I wish you all the best and look forward to meeting you again.
Best wishes to you in J - Markus
