The Way Out Is In

by Plum Village

This podcast series is aimed at helping us to transcend our fear and anger so that we can be more engaged in the world in a way that develops love and compassion. Thich Nhat Hanh’s calligraphy ‘The Way Out Is In” highlights that the way out of any difficulty is to look deeply within, gain insights and then put them into practice. "The Way Out is In" is co-hosted by Brother Phap Huu, Thich Nhat Hanh's personal attendant for 17 years and the abbot of Plum Village's Upper Hamlet, and Jo Confino, who works at the intersection of personal transformation and systems change. The podcast is co-produced by the Plum Village App and Global Optimism, with support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

It is such a pleasure to listen to Jo and Brother Phap Huu. Their depth of knowledge, compassion, and genuine love for sharing brings me joy. This podcast made a tremendous impact upon my life and cannot thank them enough for sharing their thoughts with us.

Skippy John-Jones · Apr 2025

If you’re looking to come home to yourself and get glimpses of freedom this plum village offering is a great tool. It doesn’t require anything of you other than a willingness to listen open-heartedly. Jo Confino, Brother Phap Huu and their guests share freely and unself-consciously to help listeners experience the depths of love, self-love, and the nature of interbeing. It’s all so quietly lovely. Most nights I use this podcast as my lullaby. Ahhh…

In these frightening, chaotic times, just listening to these kind, calm voices speak about stillness, intention, love, mindfulness…is a healing balm & a reminder of the goodness that still exists. Thank you for taking the time & care to make these podcast offerings available to us all.

This podcast has recently become a listening ritual of mine when I am driving. It brings a sense of calm and peace to the day. Thank you both (and to those who are guests) for taking the time to make these episodes.
