welcome to master plan
Healing means becoming whole again.
If you are looking for plant medicine retreats in Europe with a serious, trauma-informed therapeutic approach, Master Plan Retreat offers a structured and well-held environment for emotional development and deep psychological work. Whether this is your first experience with plant medicines or you have been through similar processes before, you deserve a space where you feel accompanied, guided, and contained within a small and carefully held group.
Rather than promising immediate relief, our approach integrates plant medicine work with contemporary therapeutic understanding. Through this integration, emotional coherence begins to strengthen, the nervous system regulates gradually, and self-awareness becomes embodied rather than purely conceptual.
Master Plan Retreat is recognized for its ethical, structured, and trauma-informed approach. Plant medicine work is carefully woven together with somatic integration, holistic therapies, and individual and group therapeutic support. Each retreat unfolds as a contained and well-accompanied process toward emotional clarity and personal sovereignty.
Surrounded by nature outside Barcelona, and guided by experienced facilitators in groups of no more than ten, this is a space where meaningful inner work becomes possible with safety and depth.
SAFE & COMFORTABLE
Experience profound healing in a carefully designed space that prioritizes your safety, comfort, and peace of mind.
EXPERT GUIDANCE & HEALERS
Be guided by experienced facilitators and skilled healers dedicated to your personal transformation and well-being.

Hi, I’m Samantha Silvany
FOUNDER & MEDICINE WOMAN
If someone had told me years ago that I would become a trauma-informed holistic therapist and bestselling author, I would not have believed it.
Our pain is the midwife of our gifts.
The loneliness of my childhood led me to the world of self-inquiry earlier than most. Watching myself repeat the same patterns, even when I already understood them intellectually, was what pushed me to look for something deeper. And the discomfort of facing my own internal dynamics was what led me to specialize in integrative trauma therapy.
From a young age I knew I wanted to understand how human beings work from the inside. That curiosity led me to years of training and personal work, exploring different ways of listening to what most people have learned to stop hearing.
When I encountered plant medicines, I knew this was different. It was not another tool to learn, not another layer of intellectual understanding. It was a process that went directly to the body, to emotional memory, to the patterns that no conversation had been able to move. Through that encounter, I learned that healing is not about fixing or transcending the human experience. It is about meeting it with compassion.
Master Plan Retreat was born from that.
Over seven years as a trauma-informed therapist, my training integrates Psychoanalysis, Systemic Family Constellations, IFS, Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté, Somatic Experiencing, Breathwork, and Mindfulness. I guide deep emotional and psychological processes in individual sessions and at Master Plan Retreat.
In this space, your process is respected, your rhythm is honored, and your history is neither rushed nor avoided. Change begins when you choose to meet yourself with honesty and commitment.
With care,

Thank you Master Plan Team for your commitment ans support during my experience with Plant medicines. I had a truly mind-blowing experience during my 3rd night and I am now taking my life to the next step 🙏
I had the opportunity to live a transformative experience thanks to Master Plan Retreat. From the first moment I felt supported and understood. Their wisdom and dedication are reflected in every detail, guiding us with love and respect throughout the entire process.
I've had a really amazing experience at the masterplan retreat. It was my first time on plant medicine and i've had an experience to never forget. I felt connected to my higher self, it was magical. Samantha was always there with her knowledge and wisdom to share when I spoke about what I had felt the night before.
It was truly a wonderful, magnificent experience that I will never regret in my life. The only thing I regret is not having made the decision sooner. I only have words of gratitude for Master Plan Team, they are angels sent to this earth to change lives.
Safe Ayahuasca Retreats in Europe
Held with Care and Medical Presence
At Master Plan Retreat, safety and wellbeing are fundamental to the environment we create for every participant. For this reason, our retreats are supported by a dedicated medical professional who oversees health and safety throughout the entire process.
Before each retreat, all participants complete a detailed health questionnaire that is personally reviewed by our physician, Dr. Clarena Díaz Urueta. This process allows us to assess medical history, current medications, and any conditions that may require special attention, ensuring that participation is responsible and appropriate for each person.
During the retreat, Dr. Clarena remains present to provide medical support and supervision throughout the plant medicine sessions. With training in emergency medicine and toxicology, and years of experience working in high-intensity humanitarian settings with Médecins Sans Frontières, she brings both clinical rigor and a deeply attentive presence.
Her role is not to medicalize the experience, but to protect it. By holding medical responsibility for the space, she allows participants and facilitators to work within a contained, responsible, and carefully held environment.

Retreat Program
On arrival, you are welcomed into a calm environment where intention-setting, conscious breathwork, and the first plant medicine session open the process toward self-awareness and emotional depth. The first session takes place on this first day, marking the beginning of your inner process.
The following day, the process deepens with a live music session guided by Ancient Journey, leading participants through a meditation accompanied by the sounds of nature, facilitating emotional opening, nervous system regulation, and integration. We also work with complementary plant medicines as supportive substances for grounding, sensory clarity, and inner focus. The day culminates with the final plant medicine session, bringing closure and integration at an emotional and psychological level.
On the third day, you will have a guided individual reflection session focused on self-knowledge and personal clarity, supporting emotional processing and inner orientation. Later, you will move into a sound bath session, allowing the acoustic environment to support nervous system regulation and somatic integration. As evening falls, we work with a complementary plant medicine as a supportive substance for grounding and inner focus, preparing the space for the final plant medicine session and the closing of your process.
Conclude your retreat with a heart-opening Cacao session, followed by group meditation and sharing — a moment of gratitude, clarity, and closure.
Your journey continues beyond the retreat through our private integration group online, where guidance, reflection, and connection keep unfolding.

Frequently asked questions
How does booking and payment work?
You don’t reserve simply by paying. First you have a one-to-one video call with Samantha. If it’s the right fit, you reserve your place with a transfer of 50% of the room price. If you cancel more than 30 days before the retreat, you receive a full refund. Within 30 days, the payment carries over to a future retreat, because with only ten places your spot is held for you.
What is included in the retreat, and what is not?
Included in your retreat are three plant medicine sessions with live music; breathwork sessions; therapeutic integration circles; all meals and accommodation; and access to an online support group before and after the retreat.
Flights to Spain and transportation to the retreat house are not included. We create a WhatsApp group to help participants coordinate shared rides and travel arrangements.
How do I get there, and is transport included?
The retreat takes place in an 18th-century masía about an hour from Barcelona. Flights and travel to Barcelona are not included. When there are enough participants, we organise a van that picks you up in Barcelona and brings you back, at an approximate cost of 60 to 70 euros round trip.
What is the recommended diet? What should or shouldn’t I eat?
We’ve prepared a detailed The Diet Guide with everything you need to know — click the link here to access it.
In essence, the diet is a gentle preparation that purifies your body and aligns your energy before the ceremony. It’s recommended to eat light, natural foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbal teas, while avoiding red meat, alcohol, processed foods, caffeine, and excess sugar or salt.
This conscious nourishment helps you enter the retreat with clarity, balance, and openness — allowing the medicine to work more deeply within you.
Is the space safe?
Safety — physical, emotional, and psychological — is our absolute priority.
All plant medicine sessions are led by Samantha Silvany, a Brazilian trauma-informed holistic therapist and bestselling author with over five years of experience facilitating deep emotional and psychological processes. Samantha’s training spans Psychoanalysis, Systemic Family Constellations, Philosophy, and multiple trauma-oriented modalities, bringing clinical grounding and therapeutic precision to every session.
She is supported by an experienced team of somatic facilitators, therapeutic assistants, and medical support, each one dedicated to holding a structured, attentive, and well-resourced environment throughout the retreat.
Together, we create a therapeutic container where every participant feels seen, supported, and held throughout their process.
Who should not participate?
Individuals with serious heart conditions, hypertension, psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, or those who are pregnant should avoid plant medicines. Pre-retreat medical consultation is mandatory to ensure everyone’s safety
Are holistic therapies necessary during the integration journey?
Integration is where the process becomes lasting. Without grounding, what surfaces during a plant medicine session remains an experience rather than a change. The group and individual therapeutic work offered during the retreat is designed to deepen your engagement with the process, expand self-awareness, and support the exploration of unconscious patterns in a safe and well-held environment. These practices help you bring what emerged during the sessions into daily life, turning insight into something the body can actually carry forward.
It's my first time. Do I need any experience?
No. Many participants are sitting with the medicine for the first time. Whether this is your first experience or you’ve walked this path before, the preparation call and the materials you receive beforehand mean you arrive knowing what to expect.
What languages are spoken at the retreat, and is translation available?
At the retreat, both English and Spanish are spoken to accommodate a diverse group of participants. We provide simultaneous translation to ensure everyone feels included and can fully engage with the experience, regardless of their language proficiency.
What if something intense or painful comes up?
Every emotion that surfaces is part of the healing. Sometimes, the medicine brings to light what has long been hidden — not to harm, but to free.
You’ll be fully supported by our team of experienced facilitators throughout this process. We are there to help you ground, breathe, and integrate every emotion safely.
Each ceremony is guided with compassion, presence, and deep therapeutic understanding. Nothing you feel will ever be “too much” — it’s simply what is ready to be released.
What if I don’t feel anything — does that mean it didn’t work?
Not at all. The medicine works in ways beyond the visible or the visionary. Sometimes, its wisdom unfolds quietly — days, or even weeks after the retreat.
This journey is not about seeking visions, but about opening inner doors. Healing often begins in silence, as subtle shifts in perception, emotions, or relationships. Trust that what you needed was received — and that integration will reveal its meaning in divine timing.
What happens after the retreat? How do I integrate what I experience?
The real journey begins after the retreat — when the insights and emotions find their place in daily life.
To support this process, we offer an online integration group where participants can share, reflect, and stay connected. After three weeks, we host a collective integration meeting to help you ground your experiences with clarity and awareness.
You may also book individual sessions with our holistic therapists if you wish to continue your healing journey after the retreat. Integration is where wisdom becomes transformation — and we walk with you every step of the way.
What if I lose control during the journey?
This is the most common fear, and it’s worth understanding. The medicine doesn’t take control away from you, she brings you closer to what’s already inside. You are never alone with it: Samantha and experienced facilitators are present through every moment, attentive to what you need. The small group, capped at ten, means the attention is real. Most people find that the thing they feared losing control over was the very thing holding them back.
What if something comes up that I'm not ready to face?
Nothing surfaces that isn’t already within you, and nothing is left unattended. What emerges is met with care, in the ceremony and in the integration circles that follow. This is exactly why the integration and the trauma-informed approach matter: you are not opened and then left open. You are guided through what arises, at your own rhythm.
What if it doesn't work for me?
The medicine reveals, and you are the one who does the living. We can’t promise an outcome, and anyone who does is not being honest with you. What we can promise is a real container, before, during and after, so that what surfaces has the best possible chance of becoming lasting change.
