This growing collection of therapeutic and educational stories are specially written for the Moving Stories Method. It is recommended that individuals using these stories also receive some training in the Moving Stories Method.

What is the Moving Stories Method?

The Moving Stories Method is an an intermodal expressive arts method that integrates story, sandtray and play therapy. The stories are told with the aid of a Moving Stories kit and a sandtray as the “theater”. Moving Stories kits are baskets or decorated boxes that contain miniatures/symbols that are used to tell the story. Individual clients, families, groups or classes are invited to reflect upon the stories followed by an invitation to respond in their own creative way. For children, playing with the story is their typical response.
