GATE’s Inspiring Workshop Series
GATE’s workshop series is created to support both your inner development and your professional success. Each session provides practical, actionable wisdom that you can immediately apply to your creative work and career path.
The workshops are led by seasoned creative professionals—artists, producers, writers, performers, and innovators who have built decades-long careers in entertainment, arts, and media. You will also learn from experts and thought-leaders across diverse disciplines, each selected for the relevance of their insight to the real needs, aspirations, and challenges of today’s working Creative Artists.
Every workshop is designed with one purpose: to empower your creativity while strengthening the inner foundation that makes true success possible.
You’ll gain:
• Proven tools and strategies for navigating your career
• New perspectives to deepen your creative process
• Guidance for cultivating resilience, clarity, and purpose
• Connections with a community of like-minded Creative Artists
This is not just professional development —it’s an investment in your evolution as both an artist and a human being.
Workshops with GATE Founder
John Raatz
It’s a common misconception to believe that your career is your life. In truth, your career is
simply a vehicle—a tool you design to support you in living the most meaningful,
successful, and fulfilling life you can create.

What You Will Learn
Bio:
Peter Russell is a leading thinker on consciousness and contemporary spirituality. He coined the term "global brain" with his 1980's bestseller of the same name in which he predicted the Internet and the impact it would have on humanity. He is the author of ten other books, including Waking Up in Time and From Science to God: A Physicist's Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness.
He studied theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer science at the University of Cambridge, and meditation and Eastern Philosophy in India. And pioneered the introduction of personal growth programs to corporations, running courses for senior management on creativity, stress management and sustainable development.
A teacher of meditation for more than forty years, his approach emphasizes complete effortlessness in meditation—a letting go of any expectation or control. The beauty of this approach is that nothing needs to be changed or eliminated. It is simply surrendering to the fullness of the present moment.

When your intention is to take, you pull in toward you, you contract yourself.
Coming from fear, you feel at risk, there is something in it for you.
And the Universe absorbs the push, and then the pressure created
pushes back to you, and you find yourself gaining rather than losing.
