The GATE TRANSFORMATIONAL STORY CONFERENCE examines the role of story in promoting personal, social and global transformation. Story is explored from a variety of perspectives, with special emphasis on the human transformational journey — the Transformational Arc life-death-life.
Can story lead to personal awakening?
Can it lead to social and global transformation?
Is it actually a critical element in … Saving the World?
This event is ideal for authors, screenwriters, producers, educators and anyone else for whom storytelling is an essential aspect of their professional life, and who would like to focus more deeply in the transformational arena.
NOTE: GATE memberships will be available for the first time at this event and in the evening at GATE 2
You will leave this day understanding the mechanics of the transformational cycle, as well as with tools, ideas, and strategies for telling the stories that live inside you, burning to be expressed in effective and marketable ways.
“Transformational Change is a radical restructuring of the Self that occurs through incremental progress, leading toward a higher state of consciousness. It can be brought about through ritual and/or personal experiences that enlarge our understanding of ourselves and our relationship to all of nature. This sort of change is often expressed as a life-death-life experience because old survival systems that have outlived their usefulness must collapse and expire in order for new thinking, new perceptions, and new value systems to emerge. Therefore, transformational change demands sacrifice of the old way of being, and it cannot be sustained without continuous effort and vigilance toward the emerging new consciousness; as we would tend to a newborn.” — Dara Marks
