Ready to ELEVATE Your Leadership Journey?
Whether you've just finished RYLA or haven't been to RYLA for a while, this is an amazing opportunity for you to advance your leadership and professional development. The ELEVATE Retreat is designed for RYLA Alumni to push boundaries, inspire growth, and help you connect with a vibrant network of like-minded leaders.

Why Attend ELEVATE?

• Tailored Leadership Development
  Whether you’re returning or joining for the first time, the ELEVATE Retreat is an opportunity to reflect on your leadership journey, sharpen your skills, and explore new strategies for success.

• The Program You Know and Love (With a Fresh Twist!)
  For those who attended last year, get ready for the same high-quality, impactful experience you know and love, but with new content and challenges to stretch your leadership thinking. The Retreat will evolve with fresh perspectives, ensuring you continue to grow and push what you think is possible. 

• Build Connections with RYLA Alumni
  Meet and connect with leaders from across Oceania. Build lasting relationships with fellow alumni and expand your professional network.

• Personal Reflection & Growth
  Step away from the daily grind to reflect, recharge, and reimagine your leadership path. ELEVATE offers the space for deep personal growth, helping you clarify your goals and set a powerful direction for the year ahead.

What to Expect?

We are proud of the program we delivered last year, which included a range of engaging sessions, collaborative activities and insightful workshops. We are working hard behind the scenes to enhance your ELEVATE experience. 

You can expect your thinking to be challenged, your leadership capabilities to grow and your personal and professional lives to be developed with practical tools. 

• Expert Sessions & Workshops
  Participate in workshops led by inspiring facilitators who will share actionable insights and strategies to strengthen your leadership practice.

• Networking Opportunities
  Connect with passionate leaders from diverse backgrounds and industries, forming meaningful relationships that extend well beyond the retreat.

• Reflection & Recharge
  Take time for reflection in a serene environment to recharge, gain clarity, and prepare for the next phase of your leadership journey.

Where is it held?

The ELEVATE 2025 Retreat returns to the beautiful Blue Mountains in Sydney. 

We are returning to the same venue from the 2023 Retreat, for a few reasons:

• Idyllic Mountain Surrounds
  The participants loved having a Retreat where they felt they were "getting away" from the real world. There's no place better than in the majestic Blue Mountains, where you are surrounded by nature. 

• Exclusive Use of the Site
  Blue Gum Lodge gives us the wonderful luxury of having exclusive use of the whole site. They also have incredible conferencing facilities, with multiple rooms that we can tailor for our use.  

• Camplife without the Camping
  Blue Gum Lodge has everything you need for a getaway. There's a pool, campfires and no light pollution (so a blanket of stars each night). 

What’s Included?

The AU$950 fee covers:

• All conference sessions

• On-site accommodation (shared rooms)

• Meals and refreshments throughout the event

• Access to workshops, expert facilitators and social events

Why Invest in Yourself?

ELEVATE is more than just a Retreat; it’s an investment in your leadership growth. This is an opportunity to refine your leadership skills, expand your perspective, and connect with a community of RYLArians from across Oceania who will inspire and challenge you.

Limited Spaces Available
RYLA Oceania ELEVATE has limited spaces to ensure we craft a high-quality, immersive experience. There are only a set number of beds, and once they're filled, we can't release any more tickets. Secure your spot today.
