About Me: Tracy Tegart
I had a fascination with the “deeper questions” from an early age. I developed a passion for mathematics and physics in highschool, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Honours Physics from the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada (1995).
My interests evolved beyond physical systems as I came to realize that the principles governing human systems — and the many resulting phenomena — were even more complex! I earned a Master’s degree in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma (2001) and my professional career has spanned over two decades in learning and human development. I continue to enjoy the creative work of instructional design, developing performance-based, people-centered teaching and learning programs. I’m also energized by the transformation that can happen to individuals learning together in small groups, so I’m involved in a number of learning communities: often in a leadership role as developer or facilitator … and when I’m especially lucky, participating as a group member!
In recent years, I’ve experienced a strong calling to turn inward and explore the vastness of the universe we each have within. Seeking deeper meaning and connection in the “second half of life,” I’ve pursued a number of personal and professional development opportunities with a focus on the inner work of individuation, and I completed a certificate program in Jungian Coaching through Jung Platform in 2025.
