SUMMARY:

The objective of this research was to investigate and understand the role of women rooters and faith healers from the Cerrado in preserving and sharing cultural and environmental knowledge within their communities. We sought to analyze the possible convergences between theoretical perspectives based on ethnoscience, environmental education, ecology of knowledge and the practices present in these women's narratives, as a way of verifying whether the traditional and collective knowledge of women rooters and healers can contribute to the formulation of ecopedagogical practices in the field of environmental education. We also seek to understand the importance of ancestries and emotional ties in blessing practices and in sharing traditional knowledge about medicinal plants. To this end, qualitative research was carried out consisting of a bibliographical review, participatory research and semi-structured interviews with seven women, two of whom were masters of the Cerrado and five of them from the Escola de Almas Benzedeiras in Brasília (DF). The women rooters and healers of the Cerrado bring together a diversity of knowledge whose learning processes take place through the oral transmission of knowledge in the daily lives of their communities. For these women and the people who seek them, healing occurs through words, plants, elements of nature and the sacred, actions that manifest themselves in the act of blessing and manipulating the medicinal plants of the Cerrado. Thus, possible convergences were identified between the perspectives present in the narratives of these women together with the practices of blessing and the use of medicinal plants, which continue to be transmitted today, taking into account the changes promoted by time, and which still remain in contemporary societies. the recognition of importance in healing and care practices. Despite being practices that come from rural areas, they find support in urban centers, thanks to their practitioners and those who receive blessings and attest to the power of this traditional craft. It is evident that the ancestry and emotional ties of the rooters and benzedeiras with their bodies-territories contribute to keeping the original knowledge alive, as well as to the preservation of the Cerrado
