Sharon Van Bramer

Founder of Bluestone Retreats in 2018, Sharon brings over 50 years of life experience in Latin America and decades of exploration in ancestral plant medicine traditions.

Known for her warmth, wisdom, and genuine compassion, she creates a welcoming environment where guests feel understood, respected, and supported.

Sharon oversees the retreat journey, bringing people together through meaningful connection, personal guidance, and heartfelt integration.

An American who has lived first in Peru and now Mexico, Sharon is a translator and magazine writer by profession. She dropped everything 18 years ago to walk the path of personal transformation, finding plant medicine along the way. She has travelled extensively, working with healers in both Peru and Mexico, and launched Bluestone following a waking vision.

Sharon is intuitive, wise and caring, a savvy guide with an uncanny ability to draw together people who are perfectly matched for the work at hand. She calls her retreat groups 'the perfect storm,' and that they are.

The Bluestone medicine family continues to innovate, grow and expand both individually and together. Sharon's latest project is partnering with horses for plant medicine integration.
