GATE (Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment) 2 and Story Con were twin follow up conferences for "Hollywood insiders," the movers and shakers creating transformational entertainment (and junk media). Cultural Creatives in attendance paid hundreds of dollars, mere pocket change in Beverly Hills, but the event was livestreamed FREE. Here is the recorded Webcast for all to access.Wisdom Quarterly sat through 16 hours of speakers, presenters, musicians, and comedians culminating in a rare visit to Los Angeles by Eckhart Tolle. Highlights of the marathon event, which ran over by three hours (from 9:00 am Saturday, Feb. 4th, 2012 to 2:00 am the next morning), included:
