The Biodanza Personal Development Course Program

Science, Art, Love

1. Definition & Theoretical Model – PD1

“The conceptual basis of Biodanza came from a reflection on life, a desire to be reborn from our broken gestures and our empty and sterile structure of expression. We could assuredly say it came from a nostalgia for love.”

“We have a way of being absent with our whole presence. By not looking at, not listening to, not touching another person, we subtly strip them of their identity. We do not recognise the person in them; we are with them but we ignore them. This disqualification, conscious or unconscious, has a terrifying meaning involving all the pathologies of the ego.

To celebrate the presence of another, exalting it in the essential enchantment of the encounter, is perhaps the only healthy possibility.”

Rolando Toro Araneda


Putting Life First

2. Biocentric Principle & Vital Unconscious – PD2

“The Biocentric Principle has as its starting point the vivencia of a universe based on life.

Everything that exists in the universe – be it elements, stars, plants or animals, including humans – is a component of a larger living system. The universe exists because life exists – not the other way around.”

Rolando Toro Araneda


The Heart of Biodanza

3. The Vivencia – PD3

“Vivencia is an experience lived with great intensity by an individual in the here-now.”

Vivencias are a doorway though which we penetrate into the pure space of being, where time stops existing and we are here and now forever.”

Rolando Toro Araneda


Children of the Stars

4. Biological Aspects of Biodanza – PD4

“There is no doubt that the energy of life is one, common to plants, animals, and humanity. We are contained in a cosmic broth of life. The energy of life circulates in us and in nature as a flux. We humans block this flux; we try to stay isolated. But in reality we are linked by a subtle telepathic intelligence whose nature is love and which we can open or close ourselves to.”

Rolando Toro Araneda


The World Within

5.  Physiological Aspects of Biodanza – PD5
“A hologram is a structure in which each part is tied with the everything the everything is contained in each part.”

Rolando Toro Araneda

Becoming Conscious

6. Psychological  Aspects of Biodanza – PD6

“Biodanza has perfect continuity with traditional human sciences., therefore it is not an alternative technique but and extension of traditional human sciences.”

Rolando Toro Araneda

Life, Death & Resurrection

7. Mythical & Philosophical Aspects of Biodanza -PD7

“Humanity, throughout history, has frequently lost the great revelations discovered by its visionaries and gone through dark periods of dissociation and complete loss of identity. We can look for inspiration within these Mysteries in order to nourish the health and vitality of our civilisation.”

Rolando Toro Araneda


Who am I?

8. Identity & Integration – PD8

“Our identity is revealed in the presence of the other. This notion of being different and  unique is revealed in the presence of others.”

Rolando Toro Araneda 


Moving into New Awareness

9. Trance & Regression- PD9

“Integrative trance has a restorative effect. The trance that leads to sleep, the trance that leads to sexual ecstasy, the trance of dancing are all examples of integrative trance. The mystic trance, accompanied by vivencias of supreme happiness, physical well-being and union with the cosmic totality is also a form of integrative trance. The trances induced during the exercises and ceremonies of Biodanza are integrative. During the integrative trance, states of anxiety disappear.

Coming out of an integrative trance has the quality of “rebirth.” The trance of Biodanza has profound “reparenting” effects.”

Rolando Toro Araneda 


Touch of Life

10. Contact & Caress – PD10

“Anybody that is not caressed begins to die. Contact is a source of health and is the most important therapeutic action. To see that all people have access to caresses … is the only revolution that makes sense.“

Rolando Toro Araneda


Your Will to Live

11. Vitality -PD11

“Vitality means having a strong will to live and possessing energy available for action.” this line is generated in the instinct of conservation of life, in the many mechanisms in charge of maintaining the homeostasis and regulation of the organism. It is linked to the first experiences of movement and feelings of energy.”

Rolando Toro Araneda


Connecting with Another

12. Affectivity -PD12

“Affectivity is a state of deep affinity toward other beings, capable of originating feelings of love, friendship, altruism, maternity, paternity, and companionship. However, opposing feelings such as anger, jealousy, insecurity, and envy can also be considered components of the complex phenomenon of affectivity.”

Rolando Toro Araneda

 


Stepping Beyond Ourselves

13. Transcendence -PD13

“A feeling of intimate connection with nature and with another person is a peak experience we rarely have in our lives. To know “for sure” that we are not isolated beings, but that we are participating in the unifying movement of the cosmos, is enough to alter our scale of values. Perceiving themselves as a source of intimacy and open with love undoubtedly influences people’s evolution, inundating them with vitality and inner unity.“

Rolando Toro Araneda


Desire & Pleasure in Your Life

14. Sensuality -PD14

“Sexuality and life are absolutely linked. Sexual desire represents a strong motivation to live. Human sexuality is a way of being and growing. Our whole life unfolds according to our sexual connections. Human identity is organised in the natural flow of erotic energy.”

Rolando Toro Araneda


Creating Your Life!

15. Creativity -The Path from Chaos to Harmony -PD15

“Creativity is an integral part of the cosmic transformation, the path from chaos to order. The work of creation is always the expressive result of the act of living. The creator’s problem can be a struggle against his own overabundance. The humility necessary to take one of several projects and to carry it out well, as if we were eternal, thinking of the infinite time that it takes the universe to create a small flower, a bumblebee, an emerald.

Our opulence as artists is not in our overabundance, but in the humility to abandon our multiple options and to place our serene love in a single one of them.”

Rolando Toro Araneda


A New Beginning!

16. Review Weekend – PD16

“By proposing a process of integration and development for each individual, Biodanza postulates freedom and respect for each one, the same respect the farmer has for the seed. This idea can only be supported from the axiom that the human seed is essentially good, that is to say that there is a divine impulse within it. All a discipline of development must do is to help individuals recognise this impulse within themselves.”
