Cultivating Safe Spaces helps build a company culture for learning
Founded by Elaine Alec, a respected member of Syilx (Okanagan) and Secwépemc (Shuswap) Nations, Naqsmist Storytellers Inc. began as a consultancy focused on Indigenous planning and community engagement.
With her deep understanding of Indigenous knowledge and systemic change, Elaine shifted the organization’s focus towards educational technology, developing online platforms and courses that allow for a broader, global reach. This evolution was driven by the desire to make the Cultivating Safe Spaces (CSS) framework accessible to a wider audience, promoting systemic change through education and empowerment.
