I'm excited to start a monthly event, telling Moving Stories on ZOOM. I will begin on Monday June 16th from 7-8 PM telling a story from the book, "Nancy's Hero Stories".

My sister, Rev. Nancy Butler, wrote "Hero Stories", a collection of stories describing the lives of people of faith who inspired her. My mother (J. Woodruff) painted this picture of her. She died of ALS in 2016...as one of my favorite heroes.

Her stories work well for all ages. Have art supplies, a sandtray, some objects or Wonder Box nearby. The specific hero for this month is a surprise!

Hello Playful Healing People--a transition is afoot!

For many years, By the Sea Seminars provided workshops, sponsored the Roundtable, and housed a library of therapeutic Moving Stories™. Over the last year, Moving Stories™ evolved into its own entity, and By the Sea Seminars continues in our memories and relationships.

Here's the new website: https://www.movingstoriesmethod.com/

The library of therapeutic Moving Stories™ housed on the By the Sea Seminars website will be available again in time, as I develop kits to go with them.

I am also developing an online Moving Stories™ training series that I hope to be available soon, a Moving Storyteller certification, and Moving Stories™ onsite and remote for individuals and groups.

Hoping you will embrace the change even while we grieve the loss,

Dr. Sue Carroll Duffy
Moving Stories™
