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.

Saturday Vision Board Workshop!
Location not specified yetVision Board Bash: Dream It, See It, Create It!
Whether you're a first-timer or a vision board veteran, this is your chance to gather with old and new friends, get inspired, and have a little creative fun while you map out your best life. Let’s turn dreaming into doing — together.
We’ll kick things off with some lighthearted conversation about goals, manifesting, and setting your sights on the life you want. Then it’s time to dive in and create your board — your way. There are no rules when it comes to picturing joy, success, or your next big adventure.
We’ll bring the poster board, scissors, glue, and a stash of supplies. You bring your ideas, your favorite people, and anything else you want — magazines, stickers, glitter (if that’s your jam).
Or bring your laptop and make a digital board!
And yes — friends, sisters, neighbors — bring ‘em along! The more, the merrier.
