About

Tai Sheridan

​Tai Sheridan is a writer, painter, and meditation teacher whose work explores coherence in human life through books, artistic practice, and shared inquiry.

My work explores how a human life takes shape over time — through attention, relationship, creative practice, and return.

I am a writer, painter, and contemplative practitioner. Across many years of artistic work, teaching, and inquiry, I have been interested in how meaning gathers slowly through lived experience, and how a life gradually forms through what we remain faithful to.

I do not offer systems or prescriptions. The books, visual work, and gatherings are grounded in direct experience and in the ongoing question of how to live well within the circumstances of an ordinary human life.

Taken together, this body of work reflects an interest in coherence — how embodiment, awareness, relationship, creativity, and participation come into balance over time.

I live and work in Port Townsend, Washington.

The Studio

Single Stone Studios is the umbrella under which this work is gathered.

It is not an institution or a platform, but a studio in the traditional sense — a place where work is shaped slowly and meaning is allowed to emerge through sustained attention.
​
Books, practices, and visual work are held here as parts of a living body of work.

Background

For decades I have worked with individuals, artists, and organizations, drawing from psychology, contemplative traditions, and creative practice.

The work is informed by Zen and Buddhist practice, symbolic and visual forms, and close attention to the texture of everyday life.
​
I live in the Pacific Northwest, where landscape, weather, and seasonal change continue to shape both life and work.

The Work

Over time this work has taken shape through writing, artistic practice, meditation, and conversation with others.

At its center is a simple inquiry: how does a human life become coherent?

Across the books, the Returning Circle community, and the simple practices shared here, the work explores several dimensions of lived experience that continually shape one another — embodiment, awareness, relationship, creativity, and participation.

These are not presented as a system or method. They are aspects of experience that become visible when we pay close attention to how a life unfolds.

The books explore these questions through reflection and inquiry. The Returning Circle offers a space for shared attention and conversation. The practices support returning to physical presence and relational awareness.
​
Together they form a quiet, ongoing exploration of coherence in human life.
