What we do

About Lega Vera
Lega Vera is a modern farm village located in the rolling hills of Chepo, Panama — a place where land, food, and community come together to create a grounded and fulfilling way of life. Just an hour from Panama City, the village offers a balance between rural abundance and urban accessibility.
The 300-hectare property is organized as a mosaic of tropical homesteads, small farms, and shared amenities, all designed to foster connection and well-being. Residents build their own homes on titled lots ranging from 1-acre fincas to 12-acre ranchos, with guidance from our Farm Concierge team — experienced stewards from the award-winning Coquira Soil Project.
This community attracts individuals and families who want to live closer to the land, cultivate their own food, and participate in a lifestyle that values health, beauty, and belonging.
What Life Looks Like Here
At Lega Vera, neighbors share more than space — they share purpose. The heart of the community will include a co-op market, café, equestrian center, trails, and gathering spaces for education, wellness, and cultural exchange. Each home is designed to harmonize with the tropical landscape, celebrating local materials and sustainable building practices.
Residents have the freedom to create their own rhythms: tending gardens, working remotely, homeschooling children, or simply enjoying a slower, more intentional pace of life.

Our Mission

Lega Vera is guided by a few simple beliefs:
True wealth comes from nourishment, connection, and belonging.
Stewardshipof the land and soil ensures abundance for future generations.
Community is built through shared purpose, hospitality, and care.
Freedom is found in living close to nature, supported by others doing the same.
Our vision is to cultivate a thriving, multicultural village that honors both local Panamanian heritage and the global desire for a more wholesome way of living.

Do you feel called to help co-create a small, newly forming eco-spiritual community?

Old structures are crumbling. New ways of living are calling. We are answering that call. Wild Grace is an eco-spiritual community located in the Sierra foothills 30 minutes from Grass Valley, California. We recently completed new homes for those who feel called to our vision. Currently there are four of us living on this sacred 80 acres of land although we are a hub for an expanded neighborhood community. Many join us weekly for potlucks, expressive dance, Qi Gong, monthly musical gatherings, and seasonal celebrations in our temple, as well as tending to our orchard. We are excited to welcome others to join us on the land who are dedicating their lives to spiritual growth and ready to live in a more focused and intimate heart-centered lifestyle. Might that be you or someone you know? The fundamentals are simple. Spirit. We listen personally and collectively together most mornings, usually starting with a musical offering, a prayer, or a short reading, followed by about 40 minutes of what we call “sacred silence.” Heart Circles. About once a week we gather to share and listen. We are informed by authentic and compassionate communication practices. Nature. The land itself—an 80-acre oasis of field and forest perched above the wild and scenic South Yuba River—calls for our stewardship in the gardens, orchard, greenhouses, and general care. In turn, nature feeds us abundantly, both literally and spiritually. Interbeing. We join with others to share inspiration and connection as we host monthly gatherings of song, story and prayer that draws from the larger community in addition to other events we share with our closer neighbors. As we attend to these fundamentals, Grace flows to and through us—often in “Wild” or unexpected ways. Grace catalyzes through us, but is not something we possess. Because we all are connected, we feel that Grace actively transforms n
