About the team

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.

Our latest episodes

Each of our episodes sets the spotlight on a particular therapy, ritual or experience known for having potential healing benefits. You can find more information about each practice on the respective episode’s page.

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.

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!
