Birth Release Workshop

About the Birth Release Workshop

How we were carried in the womb, how we entered the world, and how we were received at birth can shape us far more deeply than we often realise.

Many of our lifelong limiting beliefs—“There’s not enough space,” “I’m stuck,” “It’s going too fast,” “No one is there”—can be traced back to this earliest experience.

During this workshop, you will be guided to revisit your own birth process—from conception through delivery—and gently reconstruct what calls for healing.

Working in small groups of three, you will have the opportunity to transform early imprints and release patterns that may still influence your adult life.

While body psychotherapy often works through layers step by step, Birth Release is unique in that it can soften and undo several of these layers simultaneously.

For some, one workshop brings profound change; others may benefit from repeating the process to “get the experience right.”

This work reconnects you with the essence of your life force. Welcoming and releasing this energy can free large amounts of withheld vitality—energy that can then integrate into your body and your life as a whole.

About the Method & Facilitators The Birth Release method was created by Ebba Boyesen, building on Biodynamic Psychotherapy, the pioneering work of Gerda Boyesen (1922) of Norway.

The workshop will be facilitated by Line Denneche, a Biodynamic Body Psychotherapist since the late 1990s. Line studied at the Gerda Boyesen Centre for Biodynamic Psychology and Psychotherapy in London and has since worked with individuals, couples, groups, and training programs. She is the founder of the Norwegian Institute for Biodynamic Psychology and Psychotherapy (NIBPP) and the creator of BT-TR (Birth Trauma – Release Therapy).

Eileen Murray will be assisting Line throughout the Birth Release workshop. Originally from Ireland and now living in Sweden, Eileen Murray has been a biodynamic massage therapist and psychotherapist since 1996, trained through the Institute of Biodynamic Psychology and Psychotherapy (now the Institute of Biodynamic Medicine). A medical qigong teacher, conscious movement teacher, and therapy in Motion practitioner, she offers individual sessions, classes, and workshops.

About Biodynamic Psychotherapy Biodynamic Psychotherapy views the human being as a unified whole—body, feelings, and thoughts as intertwined expressions of life energy.

Life energy is central in this work, often referred to as Qi in Daoist philosophy, Prana in Indian tradition, or Orgone in Reichian psychology. This approach draws on psychomotor physiotherapy, body-oriented psychotherapy, and the theories of Wilhelm Reich.

A key discovery by Gerda Boyesen was psychoperistalsis, the gut’s natural process of digesting emotional stress. This became central to Biodynamic Massage, where practitioners listen to these processes with a stethoscope to support release and integration.

Gerda Boyesen is widely regarded as a pioneer in modern body-oriented psychotherapy.
