Mission Statement for the World Existential Health Alliance

The World Existential Health Alliance exists to safeguard and cultivate the conditions for human

beings to live meaningful, connected, and liberated lives. We unite researchers, practitioners,

communities, and cultural leaders to advance existential health as a global public good —

restoring belonging, strengthening symbolic and ritual ecosystems, and supporting individuals

and societies through the crises of identity, purpose, and planetary change.

We work to transform existential suffering into collective resilience, to bridge science and

wisdom traditions, and to build cultures where every person has access to the tools, relationships,

and narratives needed to flourish
