THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE QUALITY OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
ULTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS
A 4-DAY IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE FOR SINGLES & COUPLES,
15TH–18TH OCTOBER 2026, Gymea Eco Retreat & Spa, Uki, Northern NSW
We are always in relationship with our partner, family, children, friends, colleagues and, importantly, ourselves. Ultimate Relationships is a four-day immersive experience created for singles and couples who want to better understand how they show up in relationships and develop practical skills for deeper connection, healthier communication and navigating conflict differently.
This isn’t only about romantic relationships. It’s an opportunity to look at the beliefs, experiences and patterns that influence the way you connect across every relationship in your life.
IT GOES BEYOND PARTNERSHIP
WE ARE ALWAYS IN RELATIONSHIP.
Whether you’re currently with someone or single, relationships are part of your life every day.
Your partner. Your children. Your parents. Your family. Your friends. The people you work with.
And underneath all of those relationships is the one you have with, yourself.
Yet most of us were never really taught how to be in a relationship.
Much of what we first learned came from watching the people around us: our parents, families, friends, culture and even the relationships we saw portrayed growing up. Think for a moment about what you may have learned from this.
Alongside what we witnessed, our own beliefs, culture, experiences and past relationships can all influence how we show up in our relationships today, how we communicate, respond to conflict, express our needs, experience intimacy and connect with others.
And underneath all of this is the relationship we have with ourselves.
UNDERSTANDING THE EXPERIENCE
This is NOT a motivational seminar, it’s not even a workshop,
it’s deeper than that
Ultimate Relationships is an experiential relationship education and personal development program with a 17-year history, drawing on relationship research from The Gottman Institute.
Across four immersive days, you’ll explore how beliefs formed through early experiences, learned behaviours and past relationships can influence the way you communicate, connect and respond in relationships today.
You’ll develop practical skills for navigating conflict, creating deeper intimacy and strengthening the relationship you have with yourself the foundation from which every other relationship in your life is experienced.
At its heart, Ultimate Relationships is about awareness, choice and connection, giving you the opportunity to understand yourself more deeply and become more intentional about how you show up in the relationships that matter to you.
EXPLORE WHAT SHAPES THE WAY YOU RELATE
Over four immersive days
Ultimate Relationships gives you the opportunity to explore these different layers through a combination of guided experiences, practical learning and relationship education. We’ll explore key areas including:
-
Explore how you express yourself, listen and respond especially when conversations become difficult or emotions run high.
-
Understand the unique dynamics that can arise when different families, histories, roles and relationships come together.
-
Explore the connection between emotional and physical intimacy, and what can support greater openness, trust and connection.
-
Look at how different beliefs, values and experiences around money can influence communication, expectations and relationships.
-
Become more aware of how family, culture and social expectations may have shaped what you believe relationships should look like.
-
Recognise the deeper beliefs you carry about yourself, others and relationships and how they may influence the way you connect.
-
Learn practical ways to navigate differences, communicate through disagreement and move toward greater understanding rather than disconnection.
-
Explore how parenting, family responsibilities and competing priorities can shape your relationships and how to create greater understanding, connection and balance within everyday life.
WHAT THE FOUR DAYS CAN OFFER
WHAT YOU’LL GAIN FROM THE WEEKEND
Ultimate Relationships is designed to give you more than information about relationships. Across the four days, you’ll have opportunities to understand yourself more deeply, develop practical relationship skills and explore what may be shaping the way you connect with others.
-
Understand more about your own responses, behaviours and the role you play within your relationships.
-
Recognise familiar ways of communicating, reacting or protecting yourself that may be influencing your relationships.
-
Develop ways to express yourself more clearly, listen with greater intention and approach difficult conversations differently.
-
Explore how to navigate disagreement with greater awareness, respect and understanding rather than falling into familiar reactions.
-
Understand more about what supports emotional and physical closeness, trust, openness and meaningful connection.
-
Become aware of how family, culture, past experiences and learned beliefs may influence what you expect from yourself and others.
-
Take practical skills and new perspectives back into your relationships with partners, family, children, friends and colleagues.
-
Leave with greater clarity around the relationships you want to create and how you personally want to show up within them.

GUIDED BY BROOKE & CAROL
Ultimate Relationships is facilitated by Brooke Lucas and Carol Russell, founders of NewWay Life Solutions.
Together, they bring different perspectives, lived experience and years of personal development work into a program that approaches relationships with honesty, curiosity and practical understanding.
Their role throughout the four days is not to tell you what your relationship should look like. It’s to create a space where you can look more closely at how you communicate, connect, respond and relate while developing practical skills you can take into everyday life.
Together, Brooke and Carol will guide you through the four days with the belief that healthier relationships begin with greater awareness of ourselves.

THEIR EXPERIENCE, IN THEIR WORDS
The four days may come to an end, but what you discover about yourself and the way you relate can continue into everyday life.
Here are more reflections from participants on what stayed with them after Ultimate Relationships.
"Suddenly life is Different!"
I have attended MANY self help and personal improvement weekends over the past few years - thinking this was "just another” HOW WRONG WAS I! Found many new tools to help me improve my self worth. Share the real me and feel safe about that. Thanks UR team

Finally there was someone who "Saw me" hiding!
I have successfully maneuvered my way around 20+ years of heartache abuse and persecution from or by men - until I came to this weekend... what a "breakthrough". I am FREE of the BURDENS!
