Why WE was Founded
WE emerged as a way to address the needs of our collective “community COVID moment” during the pandemic. Things evolved and in the Spring 2022, WE offered a unique workshop series focusing on Grief and Loss. Events were hosted and attendees shared their life experiences and learned skills and coping techniques for this unprecedented time. The workshop, facilitated by two end-of-life experts, was extremely well-received and attracted attendees from all over the Bay Area. With the success of this series, Westminster Events was born on the campus of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Tiburon, California. WE’s founders became inspired to present a variety of programs in the beautiful, underutilized and functional spaces on this church campus.
