Bio Dionisio Ceballos

Personal statement
I honor my ancestors, my teachers and my family for all that I have received from them. I am who I am thanks to them.

Today, I strive for freedom and I am dedicated to constantly inquiring, investigating and purging what hinders me from recognizing the greatness in everyone and everything - in that way be a contribution for the present world and the upcoming generations.

I celebrate children and my own inner child. I relish spontaneity, playfulness and humor. I yearn to protect all children and offer them a safe and joyful place to live and give them the certainty of their perfection in every thing they are.

I vow to women for their beauty, their emotional vastness and their ability to sense what is truth. I confess that I am attached to being praised and admired by them. I am an ally for the feminine. I take a stand for the full expression of their power, their radiance and self expression.

I say YES to vulnerability!

Learning how to be vulnerable in all areas of my life is a constant pursuit, as an artist, a filmmaker, a leader, a friend, a husband, a father, a lover, and a man.

Vulnerability is to me, the entrance into the most essential human experience. The less time I spend defending and protecting myself, the more I drop into the enjoyment of life and welcome the fullness of it all.

Commitment is the container for vulnerability. I have specially learned this sacred path with my wife Erin. Our commitment has cut through veils of falsehood and masks of protection. I have found this precious container an inspiration that allows humbleness and power to coexist.

I love my relationship with silence and solitude. I often find depths of awe in this space. Sharing this with another human being is what I call intimacy. I crave this experience and I find myself interested in how to grow this capacity with others.

I admire authenticity. I tend to be drawn to people who teach me about rawness and honesty by being true to them and transparent with their intentions and all of their emotions, where being accepted becomes secondary to honoring the truth in a noble way.

I take a stand for the freedom of all beings, the protection and honoring of our children, the reverence to women, the unfolding of our vulnerability, the observance of the sacred silence and the dedication towards the knowledge of the truth.

Honro a mis ancestros, a mis maestros y a mi familia por todo lo que he recibido de ellos. Soy lo que soy gracias a quienes caminaron antes de mi.

Hoy, me afano por la libertad y me dedico constantemente a indagar, investigar y depurar aquello que me limita a reconocer la grandeza en todo y todos (incluyéndome a mi) y así contribuir mayormente a mi mundo presente y a las generaciones por venir.

Celebro a todos los niños y a mi propio niño interior. Me regocijo en la espontaneidad, el juego y el humor. Anhelo proteger a todos los niños del mundo y ofrecerles un lugar feliz y a salvo en donde vivir y darles la certeza de la perfección en cada célula de su ser.

Venero a las mujeres por su belleza, su rango emocional y su habilidad para reconocer la verdad. Confieso que me siento apegado a ser admirado y elogiado por ellas también. Me lastima el sentir su dolor cuando veo que las estructuras sociales limitan la expresión de su resplandor, su locura y su poder.

!Le doy la bienvenida a la vulnerabilidad!

Aprender a ser vulnerable en todas las áreas de mi vida es mi dedicación. Como artista, como cineasta, como líder, como amigo, como esposo, como padre, como amante, como hombre. La vulnerabilidad para mi, es la entrada a la experiencia humana más esencial. Mientras menos me defienda y me proteja, más descanso en el disfrute de la vida y le doy la bienvenida a mis vivencias en su totalidad.

El compromiso es el contenedor de la vulnerabilidad. Especialmente he aprendido este camino sagrado con mi esposa Erin. Nuestro compromiso ha limpiado velos de falsedad y máscaras de protección. Esta vasija que es el compromiso permite que habiten el poder y la humildad al mismo tiempo.

Amo mi relación con el silencio y la solitud. A menudo, encuentro asombro y maravilla en este espacio de total quietud. Compartir este espacio con otro ser humano es a lo que llamo intimidad. Tengo curiosidad de como crecer esta capacidad en mi vida.

Admiro la autenticidad. Me atrae la gente que me enseña como ser crudo y terriblemente honesto consigo misma; transparente con sus intenciones y todas sus emociones, en donde ser aceptado por otros, se convierte en secundario frente al compromiso de honrar la verdad.

Me pronuncio en favor total de la libertad de todos los seres, la protección y la celebración de todos los niños, la reverencia a las mujeres, el florecer de nuestra vulnerabilidad, la observancia del silencio sagrado y nuestra dedicación en búsqueda del conocimiento de la verdad.
