Relationship Renew Retreat, Byron Bay 2026

Six days program / Five nights accommodation, Saturday 11th - Thursday 16th July 2026 at Sangsurya

Located in the peaceful Byron Bay hinterland, Sangsurya is an environmentally conscious Retreat Centre with beautiful forest and coastal views, and within walking distance to the beach via the Arakwal National Park.

Join Maggie and a maximum of seven other couples for the unique and transformative Relationship Renew Retreat, this year offered at the beautiful Sangsurya Centre near Byron Bay. A chance to combine holiday with intensive learning, this retreat will be nourishing, empowering, romantic and fun! Grounded in attachment and relationship theory, mindfulness, and neuroscience, the retreat is suitable for all couples, whether things are going great in your relationship or perhaps quite challenged.

Along with the daily four-hour workshops, enjoy early morning relational yoga sessions on theme for that day’s workshop. Also included are most delicious meals, a celebration cocktail on the first and last evening, and all workshop materials.

Maggie welcomes diversity, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent participants.

Why Relationship Renew?

Because relationships are hard! Although we’re wired for love and belonging, our nervous systems have also evolved to react automatically to threat and danger. So loving well takes practice. Whether your relationship is in great shape or hitting some bumps, we can all learn more about how to respond skilfully, so that we don’t get stuck in a negative cycle. 

Relationship Renew shares what actually works. Maggie uses her many years specialising in relationship therapy, group-work and mindfulness teaching to bring to life the new evidence-based understandings from the relationship field - including from: Sue Johnson (EFT-C & Hold Me Tight); Stan Tatkin (PACT); Brené Brown; Mindful Self-Compassion; and the Gottman Method.

Comprising six four-hour workshops, the sessions are structured in a way that allows you to listen to the theory in the larger group, but then share and practice just with your partner in structured, private exercises and conversations. Daily sunrise relational yoga and mindfulness sessions are also included, so that the learning feels more practical and embodied. In the afternoons, you and your partner choose whether to join a group walk, go downtown, relax around the pool or enjoy a massage treatment.
