What is existentia
Life’s demands can quietly pull us away from our true selves, leaving us feeling disconnected. Many people reach a point where, despite their best efforts, old methods of coping no longer bring relief. The sense of being lost or empty grows, and the search for peace feels like an endless struggle. It’s a quiet ache that words don’t always capture, but it’s deeply felt.
Existentia was created to offer hope for those on this journey. Through our films, we explore new ways of healing and understanding, inviting people to reconnect with themselves and discover paths to inner peace and clarity.
What is existentia?
Taken into the whirl of life, the search for meaning has become an uphill battle for oneself. Mental breakdowns and hopelessness have dangerously become the new symptoms of our modern society.
Existentia is born in this complex era, giving hope to people in such questioning, by exploring and filming new ways of healing and understanding.
We are Henria and Catarina, two filmmakers based in Portugal. We make short documentaries about non-conventional therapies. By telling the story of people who found their way through these practices, we hope to instill change within oneself, as we believe no one should be deprived of living a fulfilling life.
Help us making more films
By releasing our films publicly, we give more voice to our project. However, making new episodes is only possible thanks to the donations we receive: from individual viewers, aligned organisations, and like-minded philanthropists.
If you’d like to support us, know that no amount is too small. You can make a one-time donation via our Donorbox form, or support us on a monthly basis through Patreon. Your help is crucial in making Existentia come to life!
