Unguarded Gate is a place to explore a liberating perspective on creativity, integrity and life. The writing here values wholeness over perfection. It celebrates vulnerability. As it prioritises the present moment over historical rules and future possibilities, it promotes a fuller experience of life. These stories invite dropping pretense to redirect wasted energy toward life’s purpose — creative play. They don’t speak from the far side of a spiritual finish line, instead sharing the authors’ ongoing journeys on a path without end.
