“A spiritual ​teacher ​said ​​to ​us ​that ​we ​had ​been ​too ​educated ​and ​that ​it ​would ​be ​a ​whole ​different ​life ​if ​we ​just ​followed ​our ​hearts.” Lucile Yaney

About this interview: “How can one year of heart-led living transform lives?”

This episode invites us to take a deep breath, slow down, and imagine what life could feel like if we chose to follow our hearts for an entire year.

Our guest in this timeless episode is Lucile Yaney. She is a psychotherapist by training, high vibrational food and lifestyle specialist, and the visionary restaurateur behind the Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga, California. Lucile shares her own journey, unfolding her path step by step, and reveals how it led her to a vision for a restaurant unlike anything; the Seventh Ray.

Lucile recounts the origins of the Inn, a story that began more than 40 years ago with a chance encounter with what was once called the “last eyesore in Topanga.” Guided by her heart’s wisdom and a year-long commitment to trust its whispers, she found herself on a path filled with surprising twists and profound discoveries. From an unexpected lesson in the healing power of food with Hazel Parcell in Arizona to crossing paths with a lifelong spiritual guide, Lucile’s journey reflects the transformative power of saying yes to the unknown. She shares tales of resilience and serendipity. Along the way, her efforts became part of a larger movement, nurturing the growth of organic, vegetarian, and vegan food culture in Topanga and beyond, including the creation of the area’s first farmer’s market. It’s an example of what’s possible when we follow the call of our hearts, even when the way forward is unclear.

This episode is part of a very early conversation from late one night in LA, in 2018. Episode 18 with Lucile Yaney – Food, Healing and Consciousness // Raising Vibrations and Starting Conversations With Food. You are so welcome to go and find this episode in the archives and listen in full.

We hope this timeless episode brings a moment to give thanks to the earth and everything and everyone surrounding us. Our hearts are with her and everyone affected by the fires in LA and beyond.

“People ​have ​sometimes ​asked, ​what ​do ​you ​believe? And ​where ​does ​this ​all ​come ​from? ​And ​I’ve ​just ​always ​said ​that I ​think ​anybody ​who ​brings ​a ​teaching ​to ​earth ​and ​it ​multiplies ​and ​bears ​fruit, ​then ​this ​is ​the ​energy ​that ​goes ​forth ​and ​multiplies.” Lucile Yaney


Lucile Yaney is a therapist and with her husband Ralph created the restaurant, Inn of The Seventh Ray in the early 1970’s with the mission of offering to their guests the benefits of cooking without chemicals or artificial additives.  What started as an extension of their personal lifestyle blossomed into a destination restaurant for diners seeking an alternative to frozen, overly-processed food.  Before the Inn’s inception both Lucy and Dr. Ralph had their psychotherapy offices in Beverly Hills while living in the hills of Topanga Canyon near the Inn. The Inn of the Seventh Ray also does traditional weddings and events and for many years was the only Los Angeles wedding venue to offer vegetarian and vegan weddings with the option of gluten-free wedding cakes, and serving organic or biodynamic wines. Over the years the use of organic ingredients has grown dramatically.  Organic food has gone mainstream and available in most supermarkets.  Where 20 years ago it was hard to source naturally raised meats and fish we now have numerous wonderful options.  The same has happened with wine.  Now a multitude of truly superior organic wine is available.  With the support of our executive chef, sommelier, local organic farms and food purveyors we will continue our original goal of showcasing products and ingredients that are produced with a minimum of additives or genetic modifications.
