This is part of the talk Fr. Anthony gave for the UOL Retreat in Philadelphia, PA on 1 April 2023. The theme was "Be Still and Know." This excerpt followed Natalie Bilynsky's excellent review of mindfulness, an account of its popularity and results, and what separates it from Orthodoxy. In this portion of his talk, Fr. Anthony describes the Orthodox Way of the Heart, focusing a lot of his attention on how it frees us from our negative and distracting inner dialogues. These retreats are always wonderful - consider joining us next year!
