grandmother’s parlor, saw her world and felt her stability and pervasive loving-kindness.  The wallpaper, the secondhand chandeliers, the old parlor piano ~ all contribute to a time before we indulged in our high-speed over-connection to a world in crisis.

As you look around and feel the warm colors and the effect of gentle curves, from the ceiling to the wallpaper to the table edges to the piano, there is an ambient flow intended to connect everything to everything.  The spirited old-fashioned wallpaper sifts down into the many tapestries on the chairs.  Even the grid-work of the smaller tiles covering the entire floor knits the space together.  Connections abound.  All the lines and colors bring everything into connection with everything else to create a space ~ for you to connect with your community and your loved ones ~ for you to reconnect with yourself and your tummy ~ for us to connect with you.  Here we share with you our vision of wholeness and heart.

 

Although feng shui seems intricately complicated, reduced to its very simplicity, it is only about you and your ability to feel all that you can be ~ your whole potential.  The traditional sections of the bagua (feng shui map) ~ career, health, fame, relationship ~ they are all here, and augmented.  But the greater feng shui is what you experience when you stand and look around 360 degrees and feel the connection of tile to stone oven to ceiling to mahogany wainscoting to art to wallpapers to chairs to the true food.   All this ~ so that your eyes and heart at the same time can dance and rest.

 

So Welcome!        Have some tea. 
Fill yourself with the experience of good chi.

chi in the dining room

 

There are three areas in the dining room.   They are fast chi -medium chi - slow chi.  chi refers to the quality of energy or life force.   It is everywhere, in everything and always changing.  And, it changes from morning through evening.   We all respond to the field of chi around us, no matter what we name it.  It can energize us or deplete us.  Throughout La Brioche True Food, everything is intended to energize our guests, our staff, and ourselves.

 

fast chi - is the area with the most action and is located in the front of the house under the high ceiling.  It is designated fast chi because of the speed of movement found here.  This speedy movement causes feelings in us.
