Today we had the fantastic pleasure of speaking with John Noltner about his passion project "A Peace of my Mind", his upcoming book "Portraits of Peace" and the journey that has led Him across the country and the globe searching for the things that bind us together in the face of a polarized world. 

“In a world that asks us to focus on the things that can separate us, A Peace of My Mind invites us to explore the common humanity that connects us.”

Originally hailing from Wisconsin, then Minnesota for the past 30 year John and his wife Karen now travel the country as peace-seeking nomads collecting stories from all walks of life, actively engaging in conversations and practicing 'deep listening'. 

"A Peace of My Mind is a multimedia arts project, created by award-winning photographer John Noltner, that uses portraits and personal stories to bridge divides and encourage dialogue around important issues. Through exhibits, workshops, lectures, on-site studios, and distance learning, A Peace of My Mind leads transformative experiences that help a polarized world rediscover the common humanity that connects us."
