Above is an aerial shot of the lodge property where we enjoyed the potent retreat along with interviewer Rick Archer.
The BATGAP interview took place Friday, Sept. 25 at Kiwi Cove Lodge as planned. The weather was good, so we sat out in the gazebo beside the Kiwi orchard (7 varieties). Clare Blanchflower‘s interview followed, then the retreat began. Lorne and Lucia’s interview did not go ahead as they wish to get their book ready before the onslaught of new contacts.
Unlike my usual articles, the interview is our spiritual story – how things unfolded here.
These are 3&4 of 5 road trip interviews that will be posted when preped in a couple of weeks. I’ll let you know when it’s on-line.

UPDATE: Our mention of L&L during the interviews more than doubled the demand and number of retreats held since.

Congratulations, Davidya. You got the super-deluxe version of Batgap interview, exactly what you deserve as a teacher’s teacher.
I’m looking forward to watching this immensely.
Hi Rose
Thanks. I’m looking forward to seeing it myself. It just flowed out so I have only a general idea of what was said. (laughs)
Ha 🙂
sometimes the divine flows through ones speaking and other People are deeply impressed and got just what they needed to hear at the Moment and oneself has only a very vague idea what was being “transmitted”.
🙂
Hi Michael
Right – we’ll see just how well this took place soon. 🙂

Hi David,
I am so pleased with your interview! I am in total agreement with you! I rarely find that. I am being interviewed on BatGap, in December 2015. You have affirmed much for me!
I would love to hang out wherever you and the retreat participants hang out!:)))
Thanks, Jane
Congrats. It’s an interesting process that has shifted some background things. For me, it’s been a marker for the end of some old karma.
You may also enjoy Clare’s interview- the one right after mine. She also writes poetry. (mine is a little more rare. (laughs))
You’d be more than welcome on one of the retreats, I’m sure. People come from all over. But they book quickly and now with Clare and I talking about them, probably even more so.
A group of us live on Vancouver Island a little N of there in a similar environment. It’s really nice to get together socially with others similar as it amplifies and facilitates what is here. 🙂
Hi David, what a beautiful place for the retreats and the interview! 10 years ago, and now it is online-retreats only. But I understand that they are just as powerful, but maybe in a different way? They certainly feel very powerful, and what a miracle that is, considering the distances between us. It works outside time and space, in a fantastic way.
Hi Kjetil
It was a transformative time – both the first interview and my first SAND talk. After this, they shifted from 5 retreats a year to every 3 weeks. A powerful space, lots of shifting, and great conversations over meals and walks around the property. Soon, the majority on retreats were awake +. But there were limits to the number who could attend, and it was very expensive for some to get there.
We experimented with adding people online right before the pandemic happened, so the retreats then quickly went online. There, they could host twice as many for much lower cost in the comfort of your home. So they stayed online. But it’s not the same. Occasionally, some regulars gather at someone’s home and do the retreat together that way.
I’d say in person is the most powerful, but online, the group is larger. It’s probably easier to wake up in person and out of your element. But people are shifting online too.
And yes, it’s remarkable. It illustrates that consciousness isn’t local. We just need the tech to make the connection.
