John Noltner

Frustrated with an increasingly polarized social landscape, award-winning photographer John Noltner set out on a 40,000-mile road trip across the United States to rediscover the common humanity that connects us. He did so by asking people one simple question: "What does peace mean to you?" Through difficult conversations, gentle humor, and a keen eye for beauty, Noltner's Lessons on the Road to Peace captures a rich collage of who we are as a nation. Hi journey shares stories of encountering difference, listening deeply, challenging his own expectations, recognizing his blind spots and learning how to be a better ally. Accompanied by stunning imagery, his talks challenge, entertain and uplift audiences across the country and around the world.
