Manifest

Principles of the "Deep Ecology Platform Proposal"

BillDevall and George Sessions, Deep Ecology. Living as if Nature was Important Turin, Abele Group Editions, 1989, p. 78

1.

The well-being and prosperity of human and non-human life on Earth have value in themselves (in other words: they have intrinsic or inherent value). These values are independent of the utility that the non-human world can have for humans.

“In these days we are concretely experiencing that we are all interdependent and interconnected.
The key word is "interconnection". The challenge is to deal with complexity as a whole and not to deal with problems separately. The first commandment of ecology says "Tout Se Tient". That is, everything is connected to all the others. Every person is connected to everybody else. There is no separation between man and nature.

In his Biocentric Education program, Rolando Toro spoke of "Wild Education" as a necessary pedagogy and drew up a social program of which every Biodanza facilitator is the ambassador in flesh and blood.

It is urgent to bring life back to the center.

The individual and collective actions that will bring life back to the center are:

- return to nature as personal identity, vivencia of unity and interdependence

- shift from the vertical and pyramidal paradigm to the horizontal and circular paradigm

-shift from the paradigm of individualism to the paradigm of cooperation and solidarity

- move from the competitive paradigm (linked to effort and competition) to the hedonistic paradigm (linked to eros and pleasure .. in fact,  only Bonobo monkeys live in the most peaceful societies on the planet)

-Affectiveness and empathy are not only "good" values ​​but the real pivot of the paradigm shift.

Everything seems to indicate that the change is ripe .. each of us has in his hands not only his own life, but also that of the whole species.

That's why there is an extraordinary affinity between Biodanza and Deep Ecology, and the contribution of the Biocentric culture to the Movement and the culture of Deep Ecology is more important than ever.

We are not pale extras, we are not isolated nomads in the great cosmic chaos. We are LIFE. We are very very important right now, we can make a difference, do a lot and we are here to do it, even a little daily action will produce a big change because .. tout if tient .. We are all ONE

 

 

We are all one

 

The Force that leads us

is the same that sets the sun on fire,

that animates the tides

which makes cherry trees bloom.

 

The force that moves us

is the same that makes the seeds vibrate

and carries the message of forgetful life.

 

Dance generates destiny

following the same laws

of the flower driven by the breeze.

 

In the sunflower of Harmony

we are all One.

The aim is to open this wonderful system to a scientific base - Interview with Master Marcus Stueck

In this video interview Marcus Stueck shares precious knowledge regarding one of his last studies: reflecting upon the existing models to describe life. Humanity is facing an individual and collective identity crisis. Whereby the question: Is this lifestyle that we have still suitable for existence on this planet? The shift from anthropocentric model toward biocentric paradigm is more than ever of utmost importance for humanity. 👉 Iscriviti al Forum Internazionale di Biodanza Sociale e Clinica: https://www.forumbiodanzasociale.org 👉 Vieni al Centro Gaja: https://www.biodanzacentrogaja.com 👉 Segui Marcus: https://www.facebook.com/marcus.stueck.9/ 👉 Read Marcus publications on our website: https://www.biodanzacentrogaja.com/biodanza-e-ricerca-scientifica 👉 Get Marcus books: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AMarcus+Stück&s=relevancerank&text=Marcus+Stück&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1 0:25 What is the deep meaning of Biocentric Culture facing this complex moment for human community? 1:09 Identity crisis from anthropocentric to biocentric lifestyle model 2:09 The world life index in the last 50 years 2:46 Our lifestyle is dominating 3:50 Deep Ecology: we are the nature 5:00 How can we explain the Biocentric idea in the fields of psychology, medicine and education? 6:23 Humans vs Nature or Humans with Nature 6:52 What is Empathy for Rolando Toro 7:30 The pandemic management theory: theories to open the consciousness 7:59 How do I interpret the situation? 9:05 The inner circle: the basics of human identity 9:51 Autoregulation and autopoiesis 10:20 Interventions: doing Biodanza, expressing emotions, going into body contact produces this inner feeling of being alive, this inner jump for evolution 10:50 Biocentric culture starts there 11:25 Which parts of the human organisation are connected to the animals and plants? 12:15 What is the most important thing to reach autonomy?
