Welcome to GATE Online

The Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment (GATE) is a nonprofit organization that “leads, empowers, and supports Creative Artists” in realizing their deepest life and career aspirations.

We’re thrilled to share our new GATE website and our updated GATE Vision, which expresses our purpose and direction:

“Creative Artists, United, in Transforming the World by Transforming Entertainment, Arts, and Media — From Within.”

The Meaning of “From Within”

The phrase “From Within” lies at the heart of GATE’s philosophy.

We affirm that the wellspring of creativity and artistic expression emerges from deep within the artist — from the same source that gives rise to inner peace, balance, harmony, and fulfillment.

This inner dimension is not separate from art, but rather its origin and essence. It is from this depth that true creative power and authentic transformation arise.

The Creative Artist’s Transformative Role

Creative Artists play an essential role in facilitating transformation at every level — personal, cultural, and global.

This arises from the very nature of consciousness itself, whose impulse is to grow, evolve, and express.

When an artist creates from this expanded state of awareness, their work embodies transformative energy. As audiences experience that work, it can awaken resonance within their own consciousness — uplifting, healing, and inspiring positive change.

For decades, successful creatives and wisdom-keepers alike have affirmed this truth: The source of great art — and true creativity — lies within.

Integrating the Inner and Outer Life

When Creative Artists consciously integrate their inner experience with their outer creative expression, the results are profound:

- Greater personal fulfillment and well-being

- Sustained creative flow and success

- Positive cultural and global transformation

This integration — of consciousness and creativity — is at the core of GATE’s purpose and programs.

Join the GATE Community

All Creatives, and professionals in entertainment, the arts, and media, who are inspired by GATE’s vision and mission are warmly invited to join our growing community — to share, learn, and support one another as brother and sister creatives on the path of transformation.

Why Join Now?

Many people find GATE’s vision deeply inspiring.

Yet inspiration alone cannot create lasting change — it must be followed by practical, sustained action.

Drawing from over five decades of experience working with Creative Artists, GATE founder John Raatz has identified a set of core needs shared by creatives worldwide. Guided by these insights, we have re-visioned GATE to meet those needs through programs, courses, community events, and collaborative opportunities designed to support your growth and fulfillment.

A Movement that Belongs to You

GATE is a collaborative, co-creative movement.

It belongs to those who bring it to life — those who share their energy, ideas, skills, and vision in service of transforming the world through creative consciousness.

The transformation of Entertainment, Arts, and Media begins with you.
