The Story Behind the Master Plan
Dear soul,
Master Plan was born from faith.
Its name came to me as a truth. Visceral. Something I felt in my body before I had words for it, something I recognized and could no longer ignore. After years of working as a holistic therapist and walking my own path through plant medicine, I witnessed something that changed the way I understood healing: that behind the chaos and the beauty of a human life, 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 everything we do here.
What we offer is a four-day holistic retreat where ancestral plant medicine, trauma-informed therapeutic work, and spiritual tools come together into a single, structured container. We work with preparation, ceremony, and integration as one continuous process, because what happens before and after the medicine is as essential as what happens within it. We hold a maximum of ten participants per retreat. This is a deliberate choice, so that no one gets lost, and presence is real in both directions.
We believe the medicines of the forest are the original healing. The voice of the Earth rising within us, calling us back to ourselves. We hold them with respect, with preparation, and with the full weight of the therapeutic and spiritual responsibility they deserve.
We believe healing is a process. That integration is where something experienced in ceremony becomes a life lived differently. That every person who walks through our doors carries within them everything they are looking for. Our intention is to hold space for that remembering to happen with safety, depth, and care.
This is not a retreat for people who want to feel better for a weekend. It is a space for people who are ready to go deeper than understanding. People who have spent years working on themselves and still feel something fundamental has not moved. People who sense that the body holds what the mind has not been able to reach.
Since 2024, we have held these gatherings near Barcelona and in the heart of the Colombian jungle. Each soul that has crossed our path has left something with us in return.
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 with plant medicines. 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.
Born clairvoyant, Samantha received revelations through dreams before she had words for them. By ten years old, she was already reading oracle cards. Spirituality was never something she found. It found her first, and she spent years learning to serve what it was asking of her through tarot, pendulum, and Kabbalah, each one a way of listening to what most people have learned to stop hearing.
A bestselling 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. She has completed the Healing Trauma and Addiction professional training with Dr. Gabor Maté, continues her studies through the Compassionate Inquiry® approach, and is currently in training in Somatic Experiencing, refining a trauma-aware, safety-oriented, and deeply 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. Twenty years of conscious growth have shaped both their relationship and the way they serve. Together, they bring the harmonious integration of masculine and feminine energies into every ceremony, expressed through music, ritual, and heart-centred 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 and structured, devotional and 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 offerings. Their presence 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.

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.
