Life moves in cycles, and this week I have seen new ones beginning everywhere — in family, work, relationships, education, home and the deeper direction of life itself.

But a new cycle is not simply a new beginning. We enter it carrying the wisdom of everything we have already lived, and perhaps the invitation is to become more conscious of how we enter what comes next.

What are you bringing with you? What are you ready to leave behind? And what is life quietly inviting you into now?

In Field-Reading Week 33, I explore how we can recognize these transitions and become more conscious participants in the cycles through which our lives continually unfold.

A new cycle does not ask us to erase what came before. It asks us to carry its wisdom into what comes next

What happens when spring becomes quieter?

Birds have been witnessing the transformation of our planet for generations. Their changing migration patterns, declining populations and disappearing habitats tell a story that reaches far beyond birdlife. They tell us something about how humanity is living on Earth and where we may be heading.

In this episode of Divine Design Podcast, I speak with Professor Dag O. Hessen, biologist and professor at the University of Oslo, about what 200 years of changes in birdlife reveal about the human impact on nature.

We explore the dramatic decline of wildlife, the landscapes we have transformed, climate change, marine ecosystems and the tiny organisms upon which entire food chains depend. We also enter the extraordinary world of natural intelligence: how birds travel thousands of kilometres, navigate through magnetic fields, stars and landscapes, and somehow know when and where to go.

And this raises another question: While animals have remained deeply connected to the intelligence of nature, what have we humans lost along the way?

This is not only a conversation about birds. It is a conversation about consumption, technology, AI, our endless pursuit of more, and a culture that has increasingly measured progress through possessions and economic growth while overlooking the living systems supporting us.

But this conversation is not without hope. Dag reminds us that change does not require everyone to become Greta Thunberg. Positive tipping points can happen when enough ordinary people begin making different choices and consuming less does not necessarily mean living less. It may even open the door to a richer and more meaningful life. The birds are still singing. The question is whether we are listening while we still can.

This week has shown me, very clearly, what happens when the old meets the new.

I walked into my working week and found myself face-to-face with systems that felt heavy, slow and resistant to change, while at the same time meeting people who reminded me how quickly things can begin to move when we choose openness, courage and a genuine willingness to serve. This is what embodiment really asks of us.

We can speak about awakening, manifestation, higher consciousness and the 8/8 Lion’s Gate, but eventually everything we believe has to enter the way we actually live. Our spirituality has to reach our workplaces, our relationships, our choices, our systems and the moments when speaking up would be much harder than remaining silent.

The future is not something we are waiting for. We are creating it through what we embody now.

In this week's Field-Reading, I go deeper into the contrast between old and new systems, the shadows humanity must become courageous enough to face, and why I believe our next step is not simply awakening to a different world, but becoming human beings capable of creating and living it.

This week I am also releasing three songs carrying the same message: One Heart, We Rise Together, and We Are the Future.

The real portal is not somewhere outside us. We are the portal through which the future arrives.

What if we have misunderstood the idea of a spiritual portal?

Every year, thousands of people turn toward dates like 8/8, waiting for an opening, a shift, a transmission — something in the universe that will move us into a new reality.

But the opening is not happening to us. We are creating it

In this episode of the Divine Design Podcast, Colin Whitby and I explore a profound shift from observing reality to consciously participating in its creation. We speak about the Lionsgate Portal, collective consciousness, the strange acceleration many of us are experiencing, and a series of powerful phrases that have entered Colin’s awareness:

I am the one who creates. The light moves through me. Reality bends towards my joy. I choose differently now.

But there is another side to becoming a creator that is rarely talked about. Because if we truly have the power to influence the field around us, then spirituality can no longer only be about meditation, manifestation and higher states of consciousness. It asks something of us.

What happens when consciousness meets the workplace, our communities, collapsing systems, migration, environmental challenges — and the uncomfortable realities of being human?

We are in a time when waiting for someone else to change the world is no longer enough. We are the portal, and the Age of Waiting really is over.

Join Colin and me as we explore what it might actually mean to become deliberate creators — not somewhere beyond this world, but right here, inside it.

With Warmth and Love

Ann-Peggy & Colin

This week I travelled to 71° North, to Finnmark, the northernmost part of Norway, where I spent time surrounded by powerful landscapes, rich cultural traditions, and many meaningful conversations. It became a week of unexpected encounters and one invitation that has the potential to change the direction of my life.

I am not ready to speak about the details yet. But I am ready to speak about what the experience revealed. I believe many people are sensing that humanity is entering a new chapter. The future is asking more of us—to become more conscious of the unique contribution only we can make. Each of us carries gifts, experiences, and wisdom that the world needs in its own way.

In this week's Field-Reading, I explore what it means to listen when life calls us into something greater than ourselves, how unexpected invitations often become turning points, and why this may be the time to ask not only "What do I want from life?" but also "What is life asking of me?"

There are losses that happen through death. And then there are losses that happen while everyone is still alive.

In this deeply personal episode of the Divine Design Podcast, Tony shares the story of becoming a father, building a quiet life in nature for his daughter, and then watching everything change after the Norwegian system overrun the young family.

Rather than focusing only on legal processes or conflict, this conversation explores the deeper human experience of what happens when a parent feels separated from a child they deeply love. Together, we ask difficult questions about family, authority, belonging, and how systems interact with the intimate bonds between parents and children.

Throughout the conversation we explore:

• Tony's journey into fatherhood and the dream of creating a sacred home in nature

• Living through separation from his daughter and the emotional impact that followed

• The Hero's Journey as a map for navigating profound loss and transformation • Spiritual awakening during life's darkest seasons

• The challenge of remaining connected to love when circumstances feel beyond your control

• Parenting, relationships and the tension between personal values and modern institutions

• The vision behind I Am Guided, a platform created to help people build strong foundations in life through relationships, health, purpose and personal responsibility

• Why suffering can become the doorway to deeper wisdom and compassion

This episode does not claim to present every perspective surrounding family separation or custody disputes. Instead, it offers one father's lived experience, alongside Ann-Peggy's reflections from her own encounters with family systems, and invites a broader conversation about how we can better support children, parents and families during times of crisis.

Whether you are a parent, have experienced separation, or are simply walking your own Hero's Journey, we hope this conversation reminds you that even in the deepest loss, love continues to shape the path forward.

Last week, we remembered what it felt like to row together. This week, life invites us to ask a deeper question: What is keeping us from rowing together?

Throughout this week I have witnessed something remarkable. More and more people are reaching their "enough." They are leaving workplaces that no longer honor who they are, speaking truths they have held inside for years, ending relationships that have become disconnected from love, and discovering that real belonging can never be built upon abandoning themselves.

While recording this video, something unexpected happened. As I spoke about humanity learning to row together, the Hurtigruten ship behind me suddenly sounded its horn across the fjord. It became one of those moments that reminded me that sometimes life speaks most clearly through symbols, through emotion, and through the quiet moments that cannot be planned.

I also reflect on the response to "We Belong", one of the songs I shared last week, which has now been viewed more than 60,000 times on Instagram. To me, those views are a reminder of something humanity longs for more than ever—the longing to belong without conditions, to remember our shared humanity, and to discover that before we are divided by opinions, cultures, professions or identities, we are already traveling in the same boat.

If these reflections resonate with you, I warmly invite you to continue reading this week's Field-Reading, where I explore these themes in much greater depth.

Football is never just about football.

When Norway welcomed home its national team on July 13th, 2026, after they had lost in the World Cup, something extraordinary happened. Hundreds of thousands of people filled the streets, not to celebrate a trophy, but to celebrate each other.

In this episode of the Divine Design Podcast, Richard Barrett and Ann-Peggy explore why this moment mattered far beyond sport.

Together they ask:

• What was the deeper lesson hidden inside the 2026 World Cup?

• Why did an entire nation unite after a defeat?

• What does football reveal about identity, belonging, and human evolution?

• Are we moving from a world driven by survival into a world built on joy, play, and connection?

The conversation moves from Norway's historic welcome home, to Erling Haaland as a role model for the next generation, to powerful insights from the England–France match and the dramatic World Cup Final between Argentina and Spain.

Richard shares why those matches reflected two very different ways of living: one rooted in fear, control and survival, and another rooted in freedom, trust, creativity and thriving.

Along the way, they also explore:

⚽ Why our identity must grow beyond nationality, culture and family.

⚽ The forgotten history of football, inspired by The English Game, and how the sport once belonged only to the privileged.

⚽ The hidden shadow side of professional football, including the unseen struggles experienced by some football families.

⚽ What "becoming nothing" really means, and why entering the unknown may be one of the greatest spiritual practices of all.

⚽ Why Heaven on Earth is not a destination, but an ever-evolving expression of humanity itself.

Near the end of this conversation, Richard shares a simple insight; a few words that, if truly understood and lived, have the potential to transform the way humanity relates to itself.

If you've ever sensed that sport can reveal something much deeper than competition, this episode is for you.

What if the greatest victory was never about winning?

On the 13th of July, Norway welcomed home a football team that had not lifted the World Cup trophy. Yet something extraordinary happened. For a brief moment, an entire nation remembered that belonging is more powerful than achievement, that rowing together matters more than crossing the finish line first, and that humanity is at its strongest when we refuse to leave one another behind.

In this week's Field-Reading, I reflect on why this moment touched so many of us, what it reveals about the times we are living through, and why I believe humanity is being invited to remember something far older than competition: our capacity to trust, to cooperate, and to row together.

The reflection also explores the collapse of old systems, our Viking spiritual inheritance, and the possibility that Heaven on Earth begins not with perfect institutions, but with ordinary people choosing to belong to one another again.

If this conversation resonates with you, I warmly invite you to continue reading this week's Field-Reading, where I explore these themes in much greater depth.

This week is also accompanied by three original songs inspired by the same message:

🎵 We Rowed Ourselves Home

🎵 We Belonged

🎵 Remember How We Felt

Together, they tell one story: A journey back to one another.

Sometimes the most meaningful conversations are the ones you never planned.

Christine Scott and I had never met before this recording. We simply found ourselves in the same online space, followed our intuition, and began talking. What unfolded was an honest, deeply human conversation about family, awakening, letting go, and the unexpected ways life guides us.

Christine spent more than thirty years working in banking and finance before her life gradually opened into an entirely different direction. Number sequences, meditation, intuitive experiences, healing, sacred geometry, and profound inner guidance became part of a journey she never expected to take.

Together we explore how our children often become our greatest spiritual teachers because they invite us to become more honest, more present, and more loving than we thought possible.

During this conversation we talk about:

• How spiritual awakening sometimes begins with the smallest signs.

• Why the people closest to us often become our deepest mirrors.

• What parenting teaches us about surrender, trust, and unconditional love.

• How children can activate profound personal transformation.

• The courage required to stop trying to control another person's journey.

• Following intuition instead of forcing life through rigid plans.

• Why this season of humanity may be asking us to receive more and strive less.

• The unexpected synchronicities that bring the right people together at exactly the right time.

I also share openly about walking beside my own daughter through a serious health journey, including her brain tumor, and how difficult and sacred it is to support someone you love without trying to rescue them from their own path.

Whether you are a parent, a son or daughter, or simply someone navigating your own Hero's Journey, I hope this conversation reminds you that life is often working with you—even when it feels like everything is falling apart.
