A calm space to connect with nature, animals and each other

Safe Space – Resilience in Nature is a welcoming outdoor space in Monmouthshire. Through gentle activities, sensory experiences and time spent with animals and nature, we hope to create opportunities for connection, confidence and community.

Our story

Safe Space grew from a simple belief: that spending time in nature can help us slow down, breathe and reconnect.
Set amongst fields and animals in rural Monmouthshire, we are creating a calm and inclusive environment where families, children, community groups and individuals can enjoy time outdoors in ways that feel meaningful to them.
Whether that means sharing stories with the sheep, taking part in creative workshops or simply enjoying a peaceful walk, everyone is welcome.

Our mission 

Our aim is to provide opportunities for people to connect with nature, animals and one another.
Through partnerships, workshops and community events, we hope to create a welcoming environment that encourages curiosity, confidence and wellbeing, while respecting both people and anim

A space for everyone

Safe Space has been created with inclusivity in mind. We hope to welcome families, schools, community groups, therapists, home-educating families and individuals who simply enjoy spending time outdoors.
Some activities may be structured, while others will provide opportunities to slow down, explore and enjoy nature at your own pace.
