Does anybody know what a "caldron of becoming" is? Here's the context: a room full of artists, poets, ministers etc. discussing new ideas. "This place has become a caldron of becoming".
My impression is there is something something missing here, in this sentence. Not taking it plainly, it can suggest a place where there are plenty of ectic activity, many times putting people there under pressure.
Cauldron may be a difficult place or region to deal with, or that is likely to cause problems: http://www.mizozo.com/world/07/2010/07/the-caucasus-cauldron.html
Cauldron can mean a fast transformation in an almost chaotic and random way, almost in a unrule way. I have seen in the Web, a sentence with ''...the cauldron of teens becoming men."; what suggest the turmoil this phase can be.
It´s possible that the sentence "This place has become a caldron of becoming..." has to do this last definition (transformation in that way). So it could be said in another way, for instance "This place has become a cauldron of transformation/changing etc"
But, without much context, I stop my trying on clarvoyance here!
