Excavate to Elevate: Transforming Conflict Through Empowered Awareness
Join us for our next Excavate to Elevate Community Circle as we dive into the "Victim Triangle" and explore how to shift into Empowered Roles that create healthier, more authentic relationships.
Date: Monday, April 7
Time: 6-9PM
Location: Austin Ecstatic Dance Center, 10203 Old Menchaca Rd.

Many of us unconsciously fall into roles of Victim, Rescuer, or Persecutor — especially in moments of stress, conflict, or emotional vulnerability. These dynamics, known as the Drama Triangle or the Victim Triangle, often keep us stuck in cycles of blame, dependency, and disempowerment.
On the other hand, the Empowerment Triangle helps us to shift the victim narrative into a position of personal empowerment and enacting healthy boundaries.
In this community circle, we will:
👉🏼 Break down the core dynamics of the Victim Triangle
👉🏼 Introduce the Empowerment Triangle: Creator, Coach, and Challenger
👉🏼 Explore how to navigate conflict with self-responsibility, clarity, and compassion
👉🏼 Practice tools to recognize and shift these patterns in real-time
This an invitation to deepen your emotional intelligence, strengthen your boundaries, and learn how to Respond rather than React — both within yourself and in community.
Come as you are.
Bring your curiosity.
Leave with clarity and tools for conscious connection.
🧐 We aim to use the insights we gain from this discussion to help inform the development of a step-by-step procedural protocol for addressing problematic situations and behaviors. Drawing from a comprehensive set of conflict resolution strategies, we will tailor and implement these tools into a practical, actionable process that can be applied to specific instances within our community.
🎙 Calling In Community Leaders:
We specifically invite leaders and event facilitators to join us in taking a stand. If you are working on discerning how to sensitively and compassionately handle the trauma of participants in your events, this will be an especially beneficial evening for you. The Triangles will show you how your own response to other people’s Victim archetype is often keeping them trapped there, and what you can do differently to help release the trap.

In order to ensure a safe and loving space, we ask that you read through these community agreements before you come into the space.
Community Agreements:
❤️ This is a solutions-based conversation:
• No bullying or aggression will be tolerated.
• While these topics may bring up delicate and emotional responses, we ask that participants refrain from shaming, humiliating, or belittling anyone’s perspective.
• It is important to provide space for all feelings, while focusing on actionable ways to address the issues and move forward.
🧡 Anonymity and Privacy:
• We respect everyone’s privacy and desire for safety.
• Please refrain from identifying or naming specific individuals during this discussion. Instead, we encourage a broader focus on patterns and recurring issues within the community.
• While this conversation will focus on general concerns, our goal is to develop a system of remediation to address specific cases appropriately in the future.
💛 Compassion for All Experiences:
While we may not always agree with one another, we recognize that each person is living a unique life experience. This container is designed to foster acknowledgment, respect, and learning through diverse viewpoints.
💚 Our intention is for these conversations to encourage personal reflection, integration of new perspectives, and evolution as compassionate, conscious beings.
💙 Doors open at 6:00 PM and will close at 6:30 PM. Please arrive on time. If you need to arrive late, contact one of us directly in advance.
