Yes, the WME are leaving their Beverly Hills headquarters for Rancho Las Palmas resort for 36 hours starting tomorrow because it’s retreat time. (CAA Retreating… With Tom Cruise)  A chance to reflect on 2010 and renew for 2011. An opportunity to hug it out. A plan to study up. I’ve learned that 8 courses will be offered during WME’s retreat on subjects ranging from investment banking to the online book business to meditation. Some outsiders and some insiders will do the teaching. (Fortunately or unfortunately, Ari Emanuel is not one of them.)
