Abstract
The contemporary enhancement of symbols and elements present in afrodiasporic corporeality, in line with Yorùbá Culture, claims a state of 'agency' and 'awareness' that enhances ancestral knowledge and practices. In this way, it is eminently a matter of supporting a reference that configures consistency for the black population, due to the fact that the socially attributed teachings separate the sense of collectivity and co-participation to relate with the other in the West. The objective of the research was to contribute to the notion of community within the perspective of the Yorùbá peoples, called Ẹgbẹ́, through the systematic survey of fundamental researchers to Yorùbá theoretical-practical epistemology. To this end, the potential of the black person as a community organism and the importance of co-responsibility for the healing process aligned with African Psychology are applied in the face of activities and experiments experienced by diasporic communities (Candomblé yard people) and traditional continental ones when using ancestral methods and resources as part of us.
