Life and death dialogue with cultural, social, and environmental aspects. In this sense, the relationship between people and the sacred enclosure(s) will occur for infinite reasons. The place of study is the Sanctuary of Raimunda, located in the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve in Acre, on the triple border of Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru, a place with great power of attraction, especially of devotees from Peru, from the department of Madre de Dios. The said Sanctuary of the soul of Bom Sucesso allows us to understand through the faith expressed by its devotees the relationship between life and death, symbols and personal experiences, giving life to cultural, social, environmental lives, and collective organization. The research is built by phenomenology, with field observations carried out between the periods of 2010 to 2015 and August 2022, as well as with observation of the threats of the loss of rights of the forest peoples and the maintenance of the forests themselves. The research aims to indirectly verify how the communities' relationship with the sacred enclosures occurs.
