Two days for people who already speak. 10 and 11 September 2026. Wandl, a three-hundred-year-old farmhouse above Ruhpolding in the Bavarian Alps. Eight places. In English. For professional speakers, published authors, founders, CEOs and public figures who want to reach further and stand on bigger stages than the ones they are on now. You arrive at midday on the Thursday. Over the next two days you build a five-minute Spark Talk: the short piece that holds the essence of everything you say on a stage, and the thing every longer talk grows out of. You get forty-five minutes of one to one time with Marcus John Henry Brown across two blocks, a writing session, a masterclass in front of the group, and on the final evening you perform it. Nobody taking part works for you. Nobody is going to post about it. Your ticket includes Food and board at Wandl A sixty-minute mentoring session with Marcus before you travel Fifteen hours of training on site The Speakery Method, the Spark Writing Canvas and your workbooks, yours to keep The recording of your Spark Talk. Speakery does not post it. Publishing it is entirely your call Bavarian food, drink and a few surprises Not for you if You are working on your first talk. This retreat starts from the assumption that you already have an audience. A Speakery Mini-Masterclass is the better place to begin.
