What Is W.E. Saloon?

W.E. Saloon is a social gathering experience where instead of a typical Saloon where drinking alcohol is at the center of engagement, we offer an eastern slant with medicinal elements of herbs and elixirs to enjoy. Interweaved into the experience are immersive games for connection and pure enjoyment. We believe connection is paramount to a vital, happy life. Play is underrated as adults. Social environments don’t generally make it easy to engage unless you’re someone who happens to be very good at bringing the life to a party. W.E. Saloon is designed to make connection fun and easy no matter how introverted you are (in fact it’s designed by an introvert). Through curated experiences that open the door to your own creative instincts, play becomes natural and spontaneous. Magic happens when creativity begins to run through us like the life force energy that it is.

  • We believe in the value of embracing all aspects of life and our history; the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. This helps to keep our perspectives dynamic, nuanced, diverse and whole. It also fosters more connection through meeting reality, more resilience through adaptability and love through seeing that which is different than us.

  • We believe there is a vital nutrient in living locally which means being connected to the land, the farmers, the artists, the makers, the staff of local businesses, the business owners.

  • We are not against alcohol, rather we’re in support of the discovery of how creativity and connection can heal addictions and addictive tendencies. We are crafting an experience where the enjoyment of life can be palpable substance free.

  • We believe that play and connection are healing, A substantial body of scientific evidence underscores the healing potential of connection and play in the realms of mental health, addiction recovery, and suicide prevention. These findings highlight the importance of developing engagements and support systems that prioritize the cultivation of meaningful relationships and the integration of playful activities as vital components of holistic approaches to well-being and resilience supporting our local community’s overall health.

  • We believe in fostering a local network where local businesses, artists, and makers are not just supported but also interconnected and thriving in collaborations.

  • We believe in the medicine of food and herbs. Finding connection to what we put in our bodies, appreciating the craftsmanship from farmer to chef to herbalist is the doorway into this awareness.
