Our Safe Space is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers feminine energy in any form, fostering growth and resilience by providing a positive space where everyone can thrive through self-discovery and community.
This nonprofit and is founded and led by Gayla Gongwer, a seasoned educator, trainer, and facilitator, who brings decades of experience and energy to her work. Born in Kentucky, she earned her degree in social psychology from Illinois State University before venturing west of the Mississippi in 1979 – and has gratefully avoided living in winter ever since.
Currently, Gayla is dedicated to growing her lifelong dream, "Our Safe Space," a nonprofit organization committed to helping everyone live the life of their dreams. Whatever that dream might be.
With a passion for community engagement, she currently volunteers weekly at Friends of the Library and serves on the Board & Marketing Committee. Gayla's love for literature extends beyond her volunteer work; she belongs to so many book clubs that she needs to track them on a spreadsheet.
Driven by her commitment to creating positive change and fostering inclusivity, Gayla invites you to join her in making a difference through "Our Safe Space" and beyond.
Non-Discrimination Policy

We celebrate diversity and recognize that our strength lies in the richness of our differences. We are dedicated to fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect, dignity, and understanding, where everyone feels valued, heard, and safe.
This commitment extends to all aspects of our organization, including programs, events, and interactions. Together, we strive to create a space where everyone can truly belong and grow.

Spark & Flow ONLINE Weekly Drop-in Poetry Workshop with Gretchen!
·OnlineOnlineSpark & Flow:
Where ideas ignite and words wander.
Spark & Flow is a weekly ONLINE drop-in poetry workshop designed for anyone who loves words and poetry—or simply wants to explore them more.
Whether you’re an accomplished poet or have never written a poem before, you’ll find inspiration and encouragement here.
We'll begin each session reading and talking about three different poems. Then use the imagery, inspiration and emotions we've uncovered to create our own work - using writing prompts.
It's a safe, judgement-free zone. Where you share as much as you want - a little or a lot.
No experience required, no rules to follow - just curiosity, connection, and the joy of seeing where your words can take you.
Facilitated by the fabulous Gretchen Wirges. Gretchen happily accepts optional donations for her facilitation—never expected, always appreciated.
Sunday Mornings ONLINE at 10:00 AM MST
Bring your pen, paper, and love of words.
That's all you'll need!
