It’s time to come alive.

This isn’t a vacation. It’s a reset.
A pattern interrupt. A powerful return to yourself.

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.

Wellness Retreats
Designed for Real Transformation

We don’t offer cookie-cutter yoga getaways.

We curate intimate, nature-rooted experiences that meet you where you are and guide you where you’re ready to go.

Our retreats blend mindful movement, power yoga, somatic practices, nourishing meals, energy practices, and soul-led workshops in breathtaking natural settings. Whether it’s a weekend in the mountains or a week-long immersion on a beautiful beach, each retreat is crafted to help you slow down, feel deeply, and rise with clarity.

This Is No Ordinary Retreat. It’s an Awakening.

REKA Retreats are for those who are:

Moving through change

Craving connection—with nature, with others, with themselves

Craving a reset—mentally, emotionally, spiritually

Done with surface-level living and want something real

This space is for you. The one who’s tired of performing.

Who’s done being disconnected?

This is your moment to come alive.

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.

The REKA Journal

Transformation doesn’t just happen in retreat spaces — it unfolds in everyday moments. The REKA Journal is our way of walking with you between the big shifts.

Inside, you’ll find reflections on embodied leadership, nervous system care, mindful movement, life transitions, and living with more presence. These are the tools, stories, and reminders we come back to — the ones that help us stay connected when life gets loud.

Whether you’re craving clarity, grounded guidance, or just a moment to breathe and reflect, you’ll find something here for you.

8 Signs You’re Ready for a Wellness Retreat

We’ve all been there — feeling a little off, a little disconnected, and not quite able to put your finger on why. Sometimes life piles up quietly in the background until one day you realize... you’re running on empty. If you’ve been hearing a little whisper (or maybe a loud scream) inside telling you something’s got to change, it might be time for a reset.
