We are super happy to announce that we return for the third time to the exceptional Karner, the Spring of Stories. The Karner is a 500-year-old farmstead in the heart of Austria.
My friend and owner of this cultural property, Alex Ruckensteiner, will participate in this exclusive event curated for a maximum of eight participants.
Apart from rhetoric and charisma, you will also face a demanding day in the mountains. The breathtaking scenery combined with wine-fueled hours at the story stove will turn this event into an eternal moment.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
GROW & EVOLVE
Rhetoric and public speaking are the input. The output is growth: more self-confidence, more authenticity, more charisma. In combination with tons of techniques – from structure to storytelling – you evolve into a powerhouse of persuasion.
CONNECT WITH NATURE
Towering peaks. Whispering forests. Crystal-clear mountain lakes. This is no background image. This is your training ground. Apart from rhetorical breakthroughs and charisma-boosting sessions, we hike. We breathe. We reconnect. Forget the Wi-Fi. Here, the connection is real.
MAKE NEW FRIENDS
One of the greatest gifts of this experience? The people. We climb together. We sweat together. We struggle, stumble, laugh, cry — and grow. Together. By the end, the Karner team doesn’t feel like a team anymore. It feels like a tribe.

“With Flo at the Karner, I had the best and most unique seminar of my life. Florian made me grow tremendously in a very short time. With his technique, his humor, and his heart, he was able to take away my fears and prove that it is possible to become a public speaker. I am so grateful and I will never forget this experience.”
