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

Safe Space – Resilience in Nature is a peaceful outdoor space in Monmouthshire. Through gentle experiences with animals, nature and creative activities, 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 animals. 

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.

No two visits need to look the same.
Throughout the year we hope to offer:
• Gentle animal experiences with our sheep
• Seasonal and creative workshops
• Family and community events
• Opportunities for children to explore and learn
• Dog-friendly activities
• Partnerships with therapists and support organisations
• Quiet spaces to rest, reflect and reconnect with nature
As Safe Space grows, so will the opportunities available.

Looking Ahead

We are still in the early stages of our journey and are excited about what the future may bring.

We hope to collaborate with schools, youth groups, therapists and organisations supporting neurodivergent individuals and families.

Above all, we want Safe Space to remain a welcoming place where people can slow down, connect and simply enjoy being outdoors.
