Markus Klepper - ONE Next Step - Training

I have visited ONE a total of 4 times over the last 27 years, most recently Easter 2022. Before each ONE, I was stuck in my life, not satisfied, unhappy. And all the attempts I had made before to get out of the crisis did not bring a real turnaround. For me, each ONE was a real game changer.

In each ONE I learned so much, was reminded again of what is really important in life. My heart was opened again and besides many new impulses I came back to liveliness, lightness and joy in life. For this I am so grateful.

Markus Klepper is truly gifted in picking people up exactly where they are, to lead them back into their power and passion and perhaps fill blind spots with light. His expertise, coupled with heart & mind, makes it easy to confide and open up.

Even after all these years, I still feel that ONE is a wonderfully orchestrated work of art, which loses none of its magic even on repeat. Very highly recommended!

I found Markus Klepper when I was in desperate need of therapeutic counseling. He was a stroke of luck for me, because his professional competence led me out of the jungle of psychiatry, which at that time I saw as the only way out of depression and psychosis!
Little by little, through him, I learned a method with which I could absorb fluctuations.
Since then I lead a completely normal life and for this result of therapeutic work I am infinitely grateful to Mr. Markus Klepper!!!

I attended the seminar" One" in 2009 ! This then added to this work - helped me learn so much about myself . The days are unforgettable for me until today!

So I can say Markus Klepper has enriched my life.
Through his skills as a therapist and beyond that through his wonderful seminar !!!!

The ONE Next Step training is a highly qualified, psychotherapeutic offer to deal constructively with one's own issues and challenges - at any age - inspired and accompanied by Markus Klepper. I have known Markus Klepper and his work for eight years, have taken the seminar myself, and have been a team member more than a dozen times in the meantime. For me, the seminar was an important step towards more self-determination, more autonomy and greater satisfaction in my life.
The training is a lively and fascinating composition of theory and practice, lectures and exercises. Markus Klepper encourages and challenges the participants on their way to more personal clarity and also joy of life. What I particularly respect and appreciate about Mr. Klepper (after some borderline experiences in the field of seminar work with other providers) is his solid, extraordinary integrity as well as his human approach. In the "market" of psychotherapeutic work, ONE Next Step training pleasantly stands out because of this quality and seriousness.
I can recommend it with a clear conscience.

The One in the summer of 2021 was a very valuable experience for me. I was allowed to travel into my inner self in a protected, loving framework, experience my limits and grow beyond them.
The memory of the experience helps me in everyday life to gently set a different course every now and then. In other words: For me, the One was a big, powerful firework, but in the aftermath it is a candle that I light again and again and gently reflect on the essentials: connection, trust, integrity, joy. Love. When I remember that, life becomes easier-and more beautiful.

In addition, I have met wonderful people, some of whom I am still in contact with today.
I am very grateful to Markus Klepper and his team!

28 years ago I attended the seminar "The One Experience" (today One Next Step) led by Markus Klepper.
For me it was a profound experience that took away my fear of weakness. Since then I feel appreciated even with my weaknesses and as a valuable member in society.
In almost every one of Markus Klepper's One Seminars I am part of the team and medical support. Again and again I learn something new until today.
I experience Markus as a therapist and friend who is interested in people and who cares about raising the awareness of the resources, talents and abilities of the participants of his seminars. It is a joy to experience how this change also becomes visible in the physiognomy of people.
The cooperation in his team is carried by loving comradeship without hierarchy.
I simply feel at ease and in the circle of dear friends and have done so for so long 🙏

At the time of participation, I had just completed my first degree. The seminar provided me with extraordinary support in my inner alignment for the next steps in life and helped me to confidently choose and go my own way. Almost 10 years later, I still use the "tools" I learned when I have to make important decisions.

Meanwhile it is almost 22 years that Markus Klepper and one-next-step accompany me and my life. In 2001 (at 42) as a participant in the training, then also in the smaller events and for many years in the inner circle of the team.
Because of my own life story "I have" to explore trust and security again and again and see if it is "safe". In my job and in my family and relationship life it was not for so many years in certain important places - that is why my voluntary "work" in Markus Klepper's team was and is so important for me: because it is different there. It is "safe" - I sometimes doubted, checked again...Markus stayed and went along with these processes. So I can also stay... :-) I don't know any therapist (and I had quite a few in my life, I am 63 now) who stays there - competent, reliable, approachable.
The program is a reflection of life - with the possibility of other - new and good - experiences: with the chance to loosen one's own shackles and live life with clarity, joy and friends; with an open heart and love for people!
I have learned the value of investing in myself - money, time and above all willingness - (not only, but to a very large extent) with/through Markus Klepper.
I can highly recommend the training one-next step.

The year 2023 is for me the year 10 years after my ONE- seminar- the thrust and inspiration I felt back then still accompany me and I still have a personal and heartfelt contact with Markus Klepper.
Looking back- in 2013 I was in the process of steering my private life from a lurching course into orderly channels, the ONE seminar was recommended to me by friends and I got involved spontaneously and without concrete expectations (and previous experience).
What followed were incredibly lively days, far from a purely rational instruction, which really addressed all personal levels in a protected, honest and inspiring framework. And all this with a powerful presence, disarming openness and loving devotion from Markus Klepper and his team, which carried all participants through the week.
For me a very crucial point, all contents were suggestions, proposals, inspirations without any form of agitation, indoctrination, involuntariness. It was consistently credible, honest and experienced with a consistently warm gut feeling.
My profit of these days, I have cleaned up, given up some things, strengthened important things and found the courage for real honesty and sincere love. That carries me and us until today.
And my very personal aspect, during a guided meditation I could unexpectedly feel intensely that a very stressful experience almost 30 years ago still weighs deeply and heavily on my soul.
A few weeks later I met Markus as a professional interlocutor and the event now rests where it belongs, in the memories of the ups and downs of life, of pain and of strength to go on. Especially for this my very personal thanks Markus!
So my recommendation, you should get involved, because- These Boots are made for Walking!

There are people who swim in their water, who use their potential for the growth of people and who thus make the world a little richer. Markus Klepper is one of those people who have found their calling. He, his program and his team stand up for the people who entrust themselves to them with great inner flame, a sufficient portion of love, impressive truthfulness and dedication to vitality. People who want a change in their lives, who want to leave old patterns behind, who strive for self-efficacy ... These people can reorient themselves at the One-Next-Step- Training and get the tools to set out on a wonderful development path to a fulfilled life. A game-changer... that focuses on the resource WE, makes connectedness tangible and promotes sustainable networking like no other offer in this area. One good decision can change the world... That is a clear recommendation 😉

I had my gamechanger almost 28 years ago with a seminar with Markus.

The ONE was and is for me THE PLACE where you are taken apart and (re)assembled in a very respectful, appreciative, challenging and absolutely safe way in a protected space.

I have experienced 2 times as a participant and several times in the team, what positive energy it reveals for your personal path, if you can get involved with the offer of ONE Next Step - Training. AND IF YOU CAN'T - with what appreciative love you are invited to go through (open) doors and over (your) thresholds.

For me and the people/joy I met on this path, it is, also thanks to the never-ending connection afterwards, every now and then a place in my life, a "gas station" where it is possible for me to strengthen each other, to connect, to pause, to be gifted, to be inspired, to witness humility and gratitude, to hold one's own course or to integrate new, diverse other, to stay flexible - connected with the experience: WE ARE ONE.

I have been a part of it for a few years now. First as a participant and then also with the team.
I trust Markus completely.
I previously took part in a seminar that seemed very similar at first glance. The big difference is that Markus continues to be approachable and there for all participants even after the end of the seminar and that every single person is important to him and that he doesn't forget about people when the seminar ends and doesn't care about them.
This has built a trusting basis for me and I have also recommended the seminar to friends and family members.

This seminar was indeed a milestone in my personal development.

One next step - Training: that is learning at a high level with ease, on a wide variety of levels and with high everyday transfer thanks to preparation and follow-up. Valuable and personal.

I can consider myself incredibly lucky to have participated in the ONE when I was only 20 years old. A big thank you goes to all the people who recommended ONE to me. For me, it's only been a few weeks now and I already notice so many changes and progress in me that I would never have achieved otherwise. I am fortunate to have been supported by Markus Klepper prior to my ONE, but my participation now provides a completely different foundation on which to build. What I have experienced in these 9 days has far exceeded my expectations.

I was able to discover for myself a completely new way of enjoying life. In the last few years it has been incredibly difficult for me to find an access to myself. I have always defined my value by achievements and the confirmation of my outside world and have always lived with the claim that I have to give 110% of time, attention and support to all people I know and that I have to make sure that they are doing well. As a result, I have lived beyond my limits and personal resources for as long as I can remember. Being alone with myself and my thoughts was not possible for me for a long time and I have felt permanently restless inside, dissatisfied and dependent on my environment. In the last two years this has been very noticeable in my health.

Through the ONE I have experienced what it means to feel oneself and to get in touch with oneself. How important it is to prioritize yourself in a healthy, non selfish way. Already in the short time I have changed my lifestyle and established for myself many ways, whereby I can recharge my batteries again and again. In doing so, I am very much guided by the methods taught and lived at ONE. Since then I experience myself inwardly calm, energetic and balanced and happy in a way I never knew before. In the moments when I am not feeling well, I can now fall back on basics to be able to deal with it and get out of it myself. I do well when I spend time alone and I didn't really know that before. I have completely rediscovered the desire and curiosity for life and am just realizing how much is still ahead of me and all the possibilities I have. As a result, for example, I approach the question of how to continue on my chosen path in life with a completely different mindset. When it comes to upcoming decisions, I now think more in terms of "What do I want and what is good for me?" instead of "What could my environment demand of me?".

The connection and depth that develops with all the people in ONE in the short time, can not be achieved in any other setting and enriches me especially now in everyday life very much. From one moment to the next, you have a large network of loving people who would catch you at any time.

I know that many effects of the ONE will only become apparent in the course of the next months and years, but I already feel how much I owe to Markus Klepper and his team. It is a true art for me to create such a framework in which one feels so safe and in which one is cared for so intensively. In addition to many stirring emotions coming up and personally challenging moments, there is so much laughter at the same time and especially on the last evening there was a positive, exuberant energy and mood in the air that I have not experienced before. Every minute of ONE is created with so much love, heart and hard work and you can tell how much Markus Klepper burns for his work.

I can only recommend everyone to visit the ONE and say from my own experience: It is best to do so as early in life as possible. I was almost deterred from my decision to visit ONE by the thought that I was too young and that it was too early for me, and I was absolutely wrong.
I am infinitely grateful to be able to start life with this experience and foundation, and what I learned about myself there will be recognizable in my future decisions.

A huge thank you!

I was lucky that ONE Next Step training was recommended to me at a very young age (24 years). From the beginning, I had the feeling that I was in good hands with Markus Klepper. A completely new experience for me was the personal interest in me and my history and also the tireless effort to take away my fears in advance. This was done through direct contact with Markus Klepper by arranging several preliminary meetings by telephone.
My participation in this seminar is now 13 years ago and I am convinced that without this experience my life would have been much less self-effective and self-determined. Of course, no miracle healing happens in this seminar with which all problems disappear. But what I experienced in this seminar, namely the mixture of well-founded theoretical knowledge and the space to make self-experiences, laid the foundation stone for ALL decisive courses in my life so far.
Every person who participated in the seminar decides for himself afterwards in which intensity he will stay connected with the other participants and the seminar work. There is a wealth of possibilities to stay in contact with people and to participate as a team member after a certain integration time. So sustainability is definitely taken care of. I took full advantage of these options and was able to call on support at any time. This enabled me to cope well with difficult life situations even after the seminar. In the meantime, long-lasting friendships have developed with individual people, for which I am very grateful and which I would no longer want to do without.
After my participation it was clear to me that I would like to support this work. In the meantime, I have become an integral part of the team and have been working very closely with Markus Klepper for years. In addition, due to my private and also professional experiences, I have various insights into the areas of psychotherapy, psychiatry, social work, supervision and personality development and can therefore convincingly say: the work of Markus Klepper is extraordinary and unique and is very well suited as an alternative and/or supplement to classical psychotherapy. Why I call this work unique I have already mentioned above as an example and I could add some more aspects. One thing I would like to mention at this point: we walk our talk! This means that the values and attitudes that are conveyed in the training are not only lived and adhered to by the seminar leader himself, but also by us as a team. Confidentiality, respect, responsibility and loyalty are the top priorities at all times.

When I started the ONE Next Step training in 2018, I had already tried to solve my problems in various other ways without success.
Two talk therapies were long and absolutely ineffective, two seminars from other providers showed me that this could be the right path for me, but both lacked the wow effect.

Due to a lack of self-confidence and a fear of conflict, I had great difficulty asserting myself as a boss in my own business.
In relationships, I always adapted so much that my own personality was no longer recognizable and then threw in the towel at the first problem. The result was that I went through life without a partner for most of my life.
For 25 years I concentrated only on my work and completely forgot to live.
I simply ignored the symptoms of permanent burnout and, looking back, I can say that I was nothing but a heap of misery at that time.

I have to admit that it was only at the end of the 9-day seminar that I realized that change requires courage and that this path is not always comfortable. It was very challenging for me to jump over my shadow, but I was richly rewarded for it.
The sentence of Markus Klepper: "There where the fear is, there it goes!" has become my mantra.
Already a few weeks after my participation in the ONE Next Step training, many positive effects have set in professionally and privately and today - after 4.5 years - I am a very satisfied and happy person with a healthy self-confidence and a pleasant inner peace.

Even in school I had a panic fear of speaking in front of people - this has simply disappeared all by itself.
I can now handle conflict situations with my employees much better and I make business decisions with more clarity.
Things have also worked out in love since then. My flight reflex is still there, but I deal with it differently and it is easier for me to talk about my feelings.

Of course, there are also setbacks. You have to keep at it so that old behavior patterns don't creep back in. But this does not mean that you have to attend further seminars. Contact and exchange with other participants can be helpful, and there are also many free meetings where you can refresh what you have learned and dock on to the wonderful ONE feeling if you want to.

After it became more and more clear to me over the years how much I owe to Markus Klepper and his dedicated team, I felt the need to get involved and support the team at a seminar as a helper.
In the last ONE at the turn of the year, I had the opportunity to look behind the scenes and experience the whole thing from a different perspective. It was only then that I noticed how much passion the entire team puts into their work, and how perfectly organized the individual cogs are to make the event such a success.
Every single participant is seen and every problem is taken seriously.
I also liked the fact that Markus Klepper doesn't stick rigidly to old structures, but always puts the program to the test and adapts it to the current zeitgeist.

An invaluable gift for me at the end of the 9 days were the beaming and hopeful faces of the participants. It may sound corny, but there was simply love in the air and a grateful satisfaction at the joint success.

The ONE Next Step training showed me how to succeed in life. Thank you for that!

Through a good friend and my husband I heard about the ONE NEXT STEP seminar, which they attended and I noticed how they were facing life positively. I saw changes in them, which made me curious, because I also realized that something had to change in my life, especially in relation to my family of origin and my self-worth was at the bottom.
So I participated in ONE NEXT STEP in the summer of 2017, which was a great enrichment for me. The 9 days were so intense for me, I got to know how other people (the family of origin) controlled my life and had suppressed me. I couldn't breathe anymore and it was high time to do something and that's what I learned in this seminar. I was so open and could finally talk about what had happened to me for 35 years, because I was ashamed to talk about it. Here I was able to heal my wounded soul because I learned how to deal with it. Which is a milestone for me and I am so grateful to Markus Klepper for that. I changed my life, my self-worth was stronger, I learned to make clear decisions and also to decide about myself. I attended further seminars with Markus Klepper, which always show you the right way and you find stronger and stronger support within yourself. That is healing of the soul. I don't want to miss this anymore, because I have a new family that shows me what life means and that is such a great wealth in my life.

I have been self-employed for 20 years, have two wonderful children and am overjoyed to be married. I was able to experience the ONE Next Step 2016. It has had a great impact on my life. I realized that I was trampling on my body, my soul and my health without realizing it myself. I was unhappy, in my own way, moody, mean, unfair to others. In the nine days I got to know sides of myself that I didn't think were possible, that are so simple and that do me and my family so much good.
A process was activated in me to live my life even better and for that I am so grateful. In 2022 I experienced the ONE for the second time, for me it was even more intense, alive and powerful than ever. One of the results of it was that after 29 years of marriage I proposed to my wife again and we celebrated our wedding 2.0 with many new friends from the ONE.
I can only say: Thank you Markus Klepper, thank you, you have opened my eyes in many things and showed me ways to change my life positively and this I do with pleasure and an irrepressible joy of life.

The ONE-Next-Step training is a milestone for me. Why?

As a mother of three children and being in life as a couple for over 20 years with my now husband, the normal challenges in life became real difficulties. I grew up in a large family and enjoyed many benefits as the youngest, but many things I never understood and they were never explained to me. I developed a kind of survival strategy during my life. Along the way, I got many bruises and experienced a lot of "inner" pain.

The One-Next-Step training has been very helpful in answering many of my unasked questions. Of course this didn't happen overnight but little by little, even today I benefit from what I experienced and learned within these 9 days. In fact, many things take quite some time and it actually shows up in real life and can be understood and implemented .

Especially "the time after the ONE", the counseling with Markus Klepper for me as a woman as well as a wife and mother, my newly gained contacts to other participants and members of the team, the deepening of my very personal topics in the coaching have helped me very much to activate my readiness for a change in my life and to continue to implement this today almost two years after the seminar - more or less patiently - piece by piece into reality.

The experiences within the seminar, my very personal as well as the experiences in connection with the group, the input of Markus Klepper as a very experienced therapist, with his patience and his many years of experience in the psychotherapeutic field also in dealing with people inside as well as outside the seminar as has shown me how it is possible to see and understand the world from other eyes.

Many things from my childhood, from my youth and also several relationship issues have truly developed for me and today I am able to stand with the new wealth of knowledge and a real feeling to myself and my family simply safer and more independent in life. People and relationships used to scare me, many bad experiences shaped me.

Today I have developed no fear but a great gratitude for my previous survival strategies. This was also an important time in my life as I can understand today. Also goodbyes are part of it, although it was and is painful, to accept that as part of our life is an important part of my new puzzle pieces. Making decisions about which people fit into my life, learning what kind of friendships are truly nurturing. This is a skill I am learning piece by piece. I simply did not know so many things that make life easy and worth living.


Nine days that feel like a whole semester on the ground as well as in retrospect. Experiences and especially valuable and not only well-intentioned but nourishing very personal "feedback" in this seminar was like a door opener for a whole new way to get in touch with myself and other people.

Often it needs an initial spark in life, that ONE was such a spark for me!

I am also happy to report on my experiences in personal contact. If you are enthusiastic about something, you should carry it into the world. There is nothing more authentic than real enthusiasm. For me the most important thing is the love for me - which wants to be lived every day anew and real connection between people. That's what makes life this very special adventure.

Thank you to the whole One Next Step team. I remain with you all always gladly and sincerely connected.
Bettina Rübel

One of the effects of the ONE next Step training for me is that I can perceive my feelings and desires much better and more consciously. Before, I could do this only very rarely. I am incredibly grateful to Mr. Klepper that I can now live my life in a much more self-determined and, above all, happier way as a result of the experiences in the (only) nine days.
