Not an Escape - A Return

We believe leadership starts with how you live, in your body, in your choices, in how you show up for yourself in your life.

REKA isn’t just a retreat. It’s a reclamation. A chance to slow down, reconnect with your truth, and lead your life from presence, not pressure.

Whether you’re moving through a life transition, seeking clarity, or simply tired of living on autopilot, REKA is your invitation to pause, and come home to yourself.

REKA Means MORE

In Hungarian, REKA means peaceful ruler. A leader grounded in calm.

In Slavic, REKA means river. A symbol of flow and movement.

In Indonesian, REKA means to create. A reminder that your life is yours to shape.

But at its core, REKA is a conscious choice:
→ To step off autopilot.
→ To slow down and listen.
→ To live aligned, embodied, and fully alive.

This is not just a break. It’s a bold return to what matters most — you.

From Burnout to Embodiment: Erika’s Story

REKA was never meant to be a business. It began as Erika Blakely’s personal return to self — a quiet but powerful decision to stop performing and start living in alignment.

What started as her own healing journey has evolved into a sacred space for others to do the same: to pause, reconnect, and rise with intention.

Lately, I’ve been noticing a growing pattern inside the wellness and spiritual spaces—and maybe you’ve seen it too.
