Writing and Videos for Hevria
Saul is now a regular author for the new creativity meets spirituality site Hevria. Hevria is a combination of the words “Hevreh” and “Bria” in Hebrew, which mean “group of friends” and “creation”. We are a group devoted to spreading the idea of positive creation in a spiritual context.
In addition to his bi-weekly column, Saul is now the director of The Hevria Sessions, weekly live performance music videos from exciting artists.
Below is a sometimes updated list of articles Saul has written for Hevria, in order of publication:
