Life-changing
I'm so grateful that I heard about this app through the Being Well Podcast (Dr. Rick Hanson & Forrest Hanson). Henry Shukman is such a wise, compassionate meditation teacher. I have found this comprehensive course to be rewarding and easy to sustain as a daily practice. The additional resources are also very helpful to me. I recently attended the in-person retreat offered in New York and can confirm that Henry embodies what he teaches.

The most surprising app!
First time app review. Moderately experienced meditator. Three weeks in, I am astonished. The Way is flawless.
First, the quality of guidance is excellent. One learns over time that not all instruction is equal. The importance of the teacher’s own practice gradually becomes clear and so does their ability to reveal the depths within the forms. Henry Shukman is well regarded in zen circles and has done something unique with The Way; his guidance is clear for beginners and subtle for more experienced practitioners; it is brilliantly structured and feels like learning one-on-one. I wish I had this as a beginner and am no less thrilled to encounter it now.
Second, everything about The Way is thoughtful. It reflects the feeling of being on a journey with a good friend. Its metaphors of adventure, accent, camaraderie, and the unexpected, ground traditional Buddhist phenomenology in an entirely contemporary frame. The app feels like a genuinely safe space on my phone, and the most worthwhile cloud rent I have ever payed. I have never encountered an app that I feel this good about. I have no complaints!
Together, The Way has helped me to reengage and deepen my daily practice so that I look forward to meditating each day. The feeling of support is palpable. Touching in daily with Henry’s calm presence feels intimate and stabilizing. I did not expect a sense of refuge from my phone.

Very well done
Great guidance, nice user interface, really enjoying it
Yay
Meditation every day, yay.
Very clean, easy to use and helpful
I’ve been using this app for around a month now, and have to say that the graphics and layout are very clean and easy to follow which is the main thing I love about this app. The meditations have been personally helpful for me, since Henry simplifies meditation in the early stages which is where I am currently at. I like the fact that things are broken down into stages and not just a jumble scattered around the app.
