Exploring Life

June 30, 2020.Reading time 5 minutes.

What does it say about our society when we applaud those who wake up at 4, 4:30, 5am to get in their “self care” — only to work themselves for the following 10-12+ hours with, often, the primary intention being to make more money or to have a greater reach into influencing society. What happens […]

Being 6 years old when Hook came out, I was a big fan, but not one of those fans that remembers all of the lines of the movie. I just liked it. However, I am not sure I fully grasped all of the nuances of the movie, even watching it when I was older. Only […]

What It Is To Be A Father

October 18, 2019.Reading time 26 minutes.

Do you know that postpartum depression can affect fathers, not just mothers? It’s true, and luckily it’s becoming more widely known and accepted. Personally, I don’t care about labeling what someone is feeling or experiencing. The important part here is that people understand they are not alone and what they are going through is real […]

Traveling with a Newborn: Cape Cod, MA

September 27, 2019.Reading time 21 minutes.

This was by far our longest car ride with Weston. Philadelphia to Wellfleet, Cape Cod, Massachusetts is six and a half hours without stopping or traffic. So at its best, it is double what we did last weekend, when traveling to Woodstock. We left Saturday morning. I had a client in the morning, so we […]

Hey! I’m Shaun, I am the founder of Logan Kinei and Observing Experience. Over the past 10 years of working the fitness/therapy world, I became aware that there is something more than the body-mind. Call it awareness, consciousness, the universe, love, the beyond, light, or life. Over the years, I started on the path of self inquiry without being aware until about 2018, but my experience lead me right to it. I recognize that my shyness was purely the manifestation of my insecurities and my self created fears had always held me back. … I created Observing Experience to share my stories and my experiences to help inspire and guide others to experience their true nature. When I recently moved from Philadelphia to Cape Cod, I created Logan Kinei: Wellness & Nature Experiences to help more people connect with nature, themselves, and others. Both, Observing Experience & Logan Kinei are to inspire others live the life that you desire, through peace, love, and freedom – to live cohesively with all humans and beings, nature/earth, the universe and beyond! I also love to travel, as I believe living through new cultures and new experiences is one of the best methods of enlightening our perspectives.
