This dissertation aimed to ethnographically analyze the Horta Pegada Nórdica, located in Várzea Grande, state of Mato Grosso. Above all, we were interested in understanding how the term “ecological” is being used by the vegetable garden in question and its relations with the Santo Daime doctrine. The research sought to analyze healthy living and sustainable living, within the Daime doctrine and its relationships with church participants, residents of the allotment and garden consumers in a large network of tensions, whose pillars observed were food and spiritual practices ­ notions also current in common sense, but which were problematized in this dissertation from the perspective of ethnographic research and anthropological theory. Data collection was carried out in Daimist rituals, at fairs, in courses, among other activities that took place in Horta. It was concluded that the garden space refers to the spirituality adopted by its practitioners. Its space is for ritual and housing, for restoring the spirit, the garden is a connection between the sacred and the profane, healing and disease, eco(logical) and capitalism. When taking the Daime, practitioners aiming for a purity of the soul and physical body, consequently end up changing both their collective and individual eating habits. The Horta space and the connection with the divine and with nature proclaims that Daime participants adopt a healthier diet, without or at least with less pesticides, opting for organic food.
