Three Rivers Tribe
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
United States
 I want to share with you the Spirit Given information for the Three Rivers Tribe/Penn Hills Compound Project! Imagine something on the order of the Findhorn Community!
High on a Ridgeline above the Allegheny River...We are on a ley line here - and at the cross section of the Earth Energies that form a Vortex. This was an ancient healing vortex used by the Mound Builders during their time in the Three Rivers Area.These series of Vortexes were sealed until the times of the Great Earth Shifts 2012 -and are opening NOW!!
The Crystal Healing Vortex is where the Three Rivers Tribe/Penn Hills Branch will be forming a Compound/Conscious Community!
Right now we have the Main Temple Area -it is a simple home healing space - we are working to put in a meditation room and crystal healing chamber as well as to remodel the basement to have a community gathering space. My husband and I live here and will be the only 2 living onsite in this space.(He is a more private person and we are thinking of adopting 2 mixed race children)
Next door is a home we can purchase for approx $50,000 that has bedrooms for 6 couples or singles to have a Co-housing home! It has a sub basement- a large basement family room- large kitchen and living room!The backyard is a paved basket ball court we can use for community picnic and recreation space as well as dances!
Right next to it is a 1 acre field for a garden and poly-greenhouse and HUGE old abandoned Victorian farmhouse. Likely the house is beyond reasonable repair so we are thinking of tearing it down and putting up a community room with professional kitchen for gatherings and canning season-it will include a basement storage area and an apartment for our main gardener/caretaker !!(If the house can be salvaged we will have the same plan for the space-but also room for 3 apts in the home !)
We can get that space for approx 15K
We will be planting fruit trees, grapevines, have honeybees, chickens and garden.
We will also acquire land behind us in the ravine that has a natural spring/stream and is loaded with trees of all kinds!One project this Fall is to clear and maintain the path to the Spring and clean it out!
Across the street is an old home to be torn down and an empty lot -in that space we will put a medicine wheel, Taino style sweat lodge and healing teepee-plus a Sacred Firepit.
We would further like to see other Lightworkers drawn to this area to buy homes all around the Three Rivers Tribe /Penn Hills Compound - prices here are very low-you can get a home for 30- 80 thousand dollars! Pittsburgh economy is good- with lots of jobs! The land is fertile!We are right on the busline just 10 minutes from the City!
