In an open space, you surrender to what wants to emerge—and when it does, you realize it was exactly what needed to unfold. That same magic happened on Sunday, december 8th, 2024, during our fourth Gathering of the Tribes at the Emagine Center in Antwerp.
The morning began with a calling: to play on the grand tapestry of the ChancesToChange board game, guided by themes of connection and nature. As noon approached, the eldering process invited deeper networking and harmony between tribes. So many possibilities lay before us—participants were free to step into roles, intentions, and spaces that resonated with them.
The Tapestry of the ChancesToChange Board Game
The ChancesToChange board game is more than a game—it’s a transformative experience. Through play, we exchange energy, access profound insights, and discover expansive perspectives on our lives and the world. The board itself, shaped like an infinity symbol, is divided into three zones:
- Green: Engaging with the rich complexity of your personality.
- Purple: Deep connection to the source of all life within.
- Orange: Relating to one another, the Earth, and all living beings.
Magic on the Tapestry
Our journey began with a simple act: listening. Each participant shared their thoughts before selecting a blue soul card—a card that feels like your soul speaking directly to you. Fifteen participants found their unique spot on the tapestry, positioning themselves across the green, purple, and orange zones. What unfolded next was pure magic—visible and invisible waves of connection.
Each person revealed something extraordinary:
A man embodied unconditional love, realizing it’s a “we-thing” and becoming a radiant spiral of colors.
Another participant, representing the Earth, stood powerfully in the center. He was naturally joined by a woman channeling “eldering” as a flow of possibilities, and a young girl radiating waves of frequencies.
The artist appeared, yearning for movement and evolution, while nearby, a mother envisioned herself in five years—offering fluid, unwavering support to her children.
A young girl saw herself bringing fire and passion to her community in five years, even as she faced discomfort in her current area. Another participant, embodying future motherhood, received the profound impact her child would have on the world.
️ The network connector revealed the beauty and purpose of weaving relationships. She was followed by the wise crone, a witch holding the wholeness of life like a sturdy tree.
A man emerged as the alchemist, representing a new way of growing together with age and intention.
A young woman, seeking her role in this gathering, realized the door was already open. She was held by a man who embodied his “new life,” radiating its beauty. The circle concluded with another man who represented life force—the very heartbeat of our networks.
A Wave of Connection
Participants were invited to intuitively move to their unique place on the tapestry, guided by the magic they brought into the world. As everyone read the message from their soul card, an extraordinary weaving began:
The Earth stood at the center, grounding us in love and guidance.
The child offered influence and wholeness as first ingredients in this emerging field.
The artist ensured evolution, inclusivity, and movement.
Eldering flowed naturally, inviting us to let go of what no longer serves and create space for the new.
Mothering held us all with nurturing energy, while unconditional love bound us together—it’s a collective journey, a we-thing!
The life force within this gathering was our relationships.
Inspiration came from honoring the ancestors and envisioning abundant possibilities for descendants.
A young woman stepping into motherhood embodied unity consciousness, weaving the emerging field of oneness.
️ Networking was the soul of it all—connecting every thread into purpose.
The crone symbolized wisdom and nature, while the alchemist revealed each individual’s unique place in this evolving tapestry of tribes. Your role as the invitation to step through the door of your own wisdom and belonging.
Weaving It All Together
If I, the storyteller, had taken a role on the tapestry, it would have been “Graine Infinie”—our vibrant movement in the South of France. There, we strive to be the change we wish to see, weaving connections and creating the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
What emerged during this gathering holds deep meaning for Graine Infinie:
She thrives on networking, mothering, and eldering.
She honors her lineage, staying connected to and in service of the Earth.
She calls on people of all ages, backgrounds, and energies to contribute, hold, and nurture her growth.
✨ She is alive, curious, and filled with infinite potential, carried by the life force of love, joy, and relationships.✨
Above all, Graine Infinie is a “we-movement”, deeply sourced in the essence of all existence. This truth came alive when each participant found their unique, intuitive place on the tapestry—woven together in unity, love, and possibility.
✨Together, we weave the future. Together, we are the future. ✨
With love,
the storyteller, Veerle
