Sea Stoltzner is an artist, author, musician and peer mental health provider with lived experience and recovery from schizophrenia. Sea is a former patient of Napa State Hospital who was restored to sanity in 2022.
Sea shares his lived experience in a couple of forms. His book, Mosaic of Planes, is available to download for free in eBook and audiobook formats. Sea also shares his presentation of 25 paintings and oral narrative when he can, to lend insight into the nature of these experiences.
"Mosaic of Planes was both inspired and deeply meaningful, showcasing the transformative power of recovery and the profound impact of the peer voice. Through heartfelt storytelling and authentic connection, Sea highlighted the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of shared experiences in fostering hope and healing. The presentation served as a powerful reminder that recovery is not only possible but also strengthened through the support and understanding of a compassionate community."
