Cultivating Safe Spaces (CSS) is a trauma-informed leadership framework that integrates Indigenous knowledge, neuroscience, and relational practice. It's designed for people who know that lasting change requires more than good intentions; it requires the internal capacity to navigate discomfort, tension, and complexity without losing connection.

Through this introduction to CSS workshop, you'll learn to:
1. Cultivate safety, by leading with compassion rather than control, so people feel welcome to show up authentically
2. Strengthen accountability, so words and actions align, creating agreements that actually hold.
3. Self-regulate under pressure repairing harm without defensiveness or blame, so difficult moments don’t spiral
4. Hold relationships as the outcome, rather than a deal; helping you decolonize your workplace.

Learn how to stay in relationship through conflict; so your team grows stronger, instead of fracturing under pressure. Ultimately this increases retention.
