Jeremy Wortsman

Practice Leader and Director of Tergar Australia

Jeremy began practicing meditation in his hometown of New York as a teenager. After relocating to Australia in 2001 he began his Buddhist training and study with Traleg Rinpoche in Melbourne.

During this period, Jeremy forged a deep connection to the Kagyu lineages, particularly in how these profound practices can be integrated into daily life.

His confidence in these teachings grew over time, leading him to become a devoted lay practitioner in the lineages of both Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Mingyur Rinpoche. Presently, Jeremy is immersed in completing his Ngöndro practice.

In his professional career, he is the founder and director of The Jacky Winter Group, a leading creative services agency with offices in Melbourne, New York, and London.

As a connector of people, Jeremy is passionate about bringing his business and technical skills to the Dharma, and as part of that he helped establish The Contemplary in 2016, before founding the Tergar Melbourne practice group in 2020 which later evolved into Tergar Australia.

He currently lives with his partner and two children in The Dandenong Ranges and is an avid Ice Hockey player in his spare time.
