The Story Behind the Master Plan

Dear soul,

Master Plan was not born from a concept, a brand, or a business idea. It was born from faith.

Its name came to me as a truth — not intellectual, but visceral. Something I felt, remembered, and could no longer ignore. When I first heard the call of Mama Ayahuasca, I was already working as a holistic therapist. That background offered me tools, yes — but nothing truly prepares us for the kind of transformation that the forest awakens. As I walked the path of ancestral medicine, I was guided through a deep unraveling. Everything I thought I knew about myself began to fall away. It was uncomfortable. Raw. Sacred.

But through that surrender, something extraordinary happened: I remembered who I am. And I saw, perhaps for the first time, that nothing in my life had ever happened to me. It had all happened for me. That shift changed everything.

It revealed a truth that had always been there — that behind the chaos and the beauty, there is order. There is intelligence. There is a Master Plan. This invisible design — the one that places every person, every challenge, every lesson exactly where it belongs — became the foundation of my purpose.

Master Plan is not a retreat center. It is a sacred space. A remembrance. A prayer in action.

Here, we do not see the medicines of the forest as alternatives. They are the original healing — the voice of the Earth, rising within us, calling us back to truth.

Through the union of ancestral plant medicines, holistic therapies, and spiritual tools, we create retreats that go beyond ceremony. Each journey is a portal — one that invites you to meet yourself again with compassion, depth, and reverence.

Our team is formed by experienced holistic therapists, facilitators, and ceremonial guardians who share the same devotion to healing and awakening. Each professional brings a unique medicine — yet all are aligned in purpose and guided under my leadership, working together to ensure that every participant is held with safety, respect, and a deep sense of spiritual integrity.

Since 2024, we have held these journeys in the mountains of Spain and in the heart of the Colombian jungle.

Each soul that crossed our path transformed us in return. There is no greater honor than witnessing someone remember who they are.

This is our mission: To help you remember. Not by teaching or fixing — but by holding space for you to return to your own essence.

You are a child of the Earth. A spark of the Divine, briefly playing the game of being human, just for the joy of remembering that you are love.

Love is the force behind all of this. It is the only truth that remains when everything else falls away. It is the highest expression of the Master Plan.

And if something stirred in your heart as you read these words, perhaps it is your own memory rising — whispering:

You are ready.

With deep love and gratitude,

About the medicine

The Origin of Our Medicine

The Ayahuasca we serve is a sacred brew prepared in the Colombian Amazon by Taita Atahuapa, son of Taita Mayor Querubín Queta, one of the most respected elders and spiritual authorities of the Inga tradition in Colombia.

The medicine comes from the Putumayo region, where these ancestral traditions have been preserved for generations. We personally travel to Putumayo, Colombia, to receive the medicine directly from Taita Atahuapa and his community, ensuring that the process is carried with respect, authenticity, and continuity of lineage.

This direct relationship allows us to honor the origin of the medicine and the wisdom of the elders who safeguard it.

your SHAMANIC guide

Samantha Silvany

Samantha Silvany is a Brazilian shamanic ceremony guide and trauma-informed holistic therapist who has been guiding profound processes of emotional and spiritual transformation for over five years. Her work is grounded in lived experience, embodied knowledge, and a deep commitment to safety, ethics, and conscious integration.

Based in Barcelona since 2019, Samantha carries a mixed ancestral lineage that directly shapes the way she holds space and understands healing. Through her mother, she descends from Portuguese ancestry; through her father, from African and Indigenous American roots. This convergence of lineages informs her sensitivity, her respect for cultural depth, and her understanding of healing as something relational, contextual, and inseparable from history, body, and spirit.

A best-selling author of books on self-esteem and relationships, her work brings together ceremonial practice and holistic therapeutic accompaniment. She integrates energy healing, systemic family constellations, Hermetic Kabbalah, multidimensional Hebrew pendulum work, shamanic practices, systemic tarot, and embodied presence. This work supports processes of self-inquiry, emotional clarity, self-awareness, and a grounded connection to one’s spiritual dimension.

Her professional path is deeply rooted in the study of trauma and its effects on the body, emotions, and relationships. Her training spans multiple trauma-oriented modalities, including somatic EMDR-informed work and parts-based interventions inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS), alongside other somatic and relational frameworks. Within this broader trajectory, she has completed the Healing Trauma and Addiction professional training with Dr. Gabor Maté and continues her studies through the Compassionate Inquiry® approach, refining a trauma-aware, safety-oriented, and relational way of holding space.

Her relationship with the medicine of Ayahuasca unfolds from reverence and humility. She experiences this medicine as the spirit of the Great Divine Mother — a presence that welcomes her children exactly as they are. Through this relationship, she has learned that healing is not about fixing or transcending the human experience, but about meeting it with compassion. Ayahuasca teaches the meaning of love through inclusion, embracing all parts of ourselves, including our vulnerabilities, emotions, and human fragility.

At the heart of this work is the creation of compassionate and attuned spaces, where people feel seen, respected, and emotionally safe to meet their inner world. Presence is valued over performance, depth over intensity, and connection over peak experiences. Each process is guided by the possibility of real inner movement — supporting self-awareness, emotional honesty, and lasting transformation through care, responsibility, and grounded leadership.

OUR TEAM

Xavi & Silvia

Xavi and Silvia are the founders of Ancient Journey, a musical and ceremonial project devoted to healing through sound, presence, and sacred connection.

For over two decades, they have walked a shared path of love, partnership, and spiritual devotion. Their relationship — cultivated through 20 years of conscious growth — is not only personal but deeply embodied in the way they serve. Together, they represent the harmonious integration of masculine and feminine energies expressed through music, ritual, and heart-centered facilitation.

Their work weaves medicine music, guided meditations, and the living rhythms of nature into immersive ceremonial experiences. Through voice, instruments, silence, and intention, they create soundscapes that gently open the emotional field and support deep inner journeys.

Beyond their musical expression, Xavi and Silvia are experienced facilitators of Cacao and mushroom ceremonies. They hold sacred spaces with empathy, sensitivity, and grounded presence — offering participants emotional safety and compassionate support throughout transformative processes.

Their approach is intuitive yet structured, devotional yet embodied. They guide from authenticity, respect, and lived experience — attuned to the subtle dynamics of group energy and individual needs.

In our retreats, Xavi and Silvia serve as musical guardians of the ceremonial field. Their songs are not performances; they are offerings. Their presence is not directional; it is supportive. Through their voices, participants are invited to soften, to feel, and to remember.

They embody a path where love becomes medicine, and music becomes prayer.

Our team

Clarena Díaz Urueta, MD

Clarena is a Colombian physician whose path in medicine has been shaped by two worlds: the rigorous training of Western clinical practice and the deep wisdom of ancestral healing traditions rooted in her homeland.

Born and raised in Colombia, Clarena grew up with an innate respect for the sacred medicines of her land. Her connection to these traditions is not academic. It is personal, cultural, and carried in her roots. She believes that ancestral medicines hold a profound capacity for healing, and that honouring them with both reverence and safety is essential.

As a physician, Clarena has trained in emergency medicine and toxicology, and has worked in some of the most demanding environments on earth. She spent years with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) providing frontline medical care in South Sudan and Kenya, where she learned to hold steady in moments of intensity, to trust the process, and to be fully present with people in their most vulnerable states.

At retreat, Clarena’s role is simple: to hold the medical safety so that participants, facilitators, and the medicine can do their work without worry. She is there as a quiet, capable, caring presence. Someone who understands both what the body may need and what the spirit is going through.

She is not there to medicalize the experience. She is there to protect it.
