Hi Tamara,
The phrasal verb is to come away from something with something.
I hope to come away from the workshop with a better understanding of the phrasal verbs.

Hi lowlow
You can come away from "where" with "what", for example.
Torsten's example was:
I hope to come away from the workshop with a better understanding of the phrasal verbs.
- the workshop is where (from a place)
- a better understanding is what (with something)
Does that help?

Hi lowlow
The phrasal verb here is come away. One meaning for come away is leave (in a certain condition).
The prepostions with or from can be added.
Therefore:
come away with = leave with
come away from = leave from
But I would not say that come away and leave are interchangeable.

Sorry lowlow, I don't understand what you're asking.
If you are referring to your initial question, then I'd say that in your sentence you could replace "come away from" with words such as finish or complete.
Please note: When you finish/complete a seminar, you would also leave it. As I mentioned, the verb "leave" is not freely interchangeable with "come away".

Hi lowlow
| Quote: | | Q1: Mr.Stevens hopes to ____ the training seminar with a greater understanding of his strengths and weaknesses. |
In your sentence, "return to" or "participate in" would create meanings that are basically opposite to come away from.
"Return to" is basically the opposite of "leave".
"Participate in" would refer to the time during the seminar. It does not refer to the completed seminar-- after which you would be able to leave with the result of the full seminar (a "better understanding").
Replacing "come away from" with either "return to" or "participate in" does not create a sentence with the same meaning.
A second point is:
The words returning and participate also wouldn't be grammatically correct in the sentence.
