Who We Are & Who This Is For
Welcome to The Practice Center.
If you’re carrying all of life’s responsibilities, snapping at your loved ones, shutting down, or pretending to be “fine,” we see you.

We teach practical mindfulness, forgiveness, and attitudinal healing skills to build steadiness, take clear next steps, and come back to yourself.

Aloha is more than a greeting: it’s a way of living that coordinates mind and heart and brings us back to self. It’s mutual regard, warmth with no obligation in return, and a commitment to kindness, unity, humility, patience, and harmony. It’s also the courage to sense what isn’t said, notice what isn’t obvious, and respect what can’t be controlled or fully known.
-
Knowing is not enough. We practice.
Every workshop is built for real-life change through repetition: short grounding, clear teaching, guided exercises, and a next-step plan. We practice with self, with the moment, and with each other, because community strengthens skill and makes return more possible when life gets loud.

My experience as the Practice Center intern has been beneficial in the sense that I had a different perspective on the entire process. I had the opportunity to observe & learn from the facilitators through their experiences. I'm grateful to have developed new skills that involve being in-tune with myself, allowing myself to feel my emotions, & approaching situations with a different attitude. These skills have helped me understand myself better & presented the areas that need more focus. I’ve slowly applied short breathing exercises to help recenter myself & clear my mind, and I have also strived to apply the 12 Principles of AH throughout the day to set my intentions the right way. Given that I’ve been with the Practice Center for only a few months, I’m still fairly new to the entire concept. For now I’m focusing on being consistent as much as possible with the practice.

Every exercise and discussion reinforced my "Attitude of Gratitude." There were some introspective/painful recollections that helped release tensions carried for years. It's like an emotional massage that reveals knots of resistance. The relief is in the practice. JoYi is a very talented facilitator with incisive questions that lead to enlightenment. One step at a time...

I joined and chose to experience this group because I was looking for new and innovative tools to help our organizations Hawaiian youth break the cycle of poverty by addressing the root causes of their trauma. As a human services practitioner, it is easier to look for solutions for others while avoiding your own trauma. I found, however, how important it was to dedicate time sufficient to my personal healing, health, and well-being. After experiencing JoYi's Mindful Forgiveness workshop, I have become more self-aware of my actions caused by personal grievances, and how to break through those experiences with new tools (mainly breathing, reflecting, and seeing new perspectives) that have supported my journey toward healing and console against self-realized behaviors caused by my personal trauma. I know this workshop will help our beneficiaries as much as it has personally helped me. Mahalo, JoYi!
