About Us
The Practice Center is a community of practice for people and teams who want real tools for daily life. We teach practical mindfulness, forgiveness, and attitudinal healing skills so it’s easier to steady yourself, take clear next steps, and come back to yourself.
Mission
Teach practical mindfulness, forgiveness, and attitudinal healing for daily life so people and teams can move from reactivity to choice, repair, and peace.
Vision
A peaceful world centered on practice: mindfulness, forgiveness, and attitudinal healing in daily living.
What We Prioritize
Personal, local, present-moment. We focus on what can be practiced in real life: in your body, in your relationships, and in the places you actually live. We choose tools that work now, not someday: clear, repeatable practices that help you return to your center in the middle of your day.
Mantra
Knowing is not enough, the magic is in the practice.
JOYI K. RHYSS
JoYi Rhyss is the founder of The Practice Center and a practice-first teacher of mindfulness, forgiveness, and attitudinal healing for daily life. Born in South Korea and shaped by life across Minnesota, Jamaica, Kenya, Indiana, and Hawai‘i, JoYi brings a grounded, cross-cultural lens to resilience, belonging, and return to self. With over 30 years supporting at-risk youth and professionals, she creates workshops that translate big ideas into usable skill: steadiness, clear next steps, and the relief of being yourself again.
JoYi’s work is strengthened by a decade of study with leaders in the field, including Dr. Fred Luskin and Dr. Thao Le in the Stanford Forgiveness Project, and the late Dr. Jerry Jampolsky of Attitudinal Healing International. Her teaching is informed by lived experience as an adoptee and by extensive work with estrangement, identity, and community belonging. Her approach is direct and non-performative: no promised outcomes, just clear pathways to practice.
