What Is cultivating Safe spaces?
The Cultivating Safe Spaces (CSS) Framework, held and stewarded by Naqsmist Storytellers Inc., provides a clear, actionable methodology rooted in Indigenous wisdom, neuroscience, and trauma-informed practices. CSS is designed for leaders, educators, facilitators, HR professionals, and change makers who are committed to cultivating spaces where every person feels valued and connected.
We don’t need to agree to belong. We need to stay in relationship, even when we disagree.
CSS teaches the skills that make this possible — self-regulation, listening, repair, and responsibility. We’re not here to create perfect spaces. We’re here to cultivate the kind of people who can hold complexity, connection, and care.
