The Gaucho Friend's Journey

Abstract

This article rescues a "peak" experience of the author where he allows himself to build personal and professional
reflections from the gaucho culture that is revealed in the face of an event that breaks into daily life.
It also rescues learning about socio-affective networks in rural areas and the healing potential of mitigating
pain in the community, from cultural practices in relation to death. It also rethinks the fast pace of our lives
and its effects on health and life, as well as our scant reflection on professional times and the times of our rural town.
