In this powerful episode of Resonate, we sit down with Jacques-Pierre Cole, a Zen Buddhist monk who brings his gifts of mindfulness and meditation to Rancho La Puerta guests. Jacques shares his deeply personal story of overcoming childhood abuse, multiple suicide attempts, and the loss of his wife and unborn child in a tragic accident.  Jacques opens up about his path to healing through Zen Buddhism, learning to forgive not only his father but also himself. He discusses the importance of mindfulness and meditation in finding inner peace and living fully present in each moment. Listeners will also hear about his health journey, losing 60 pounds and finding mental resilience through running. Join us for an inspiring and candid conversation about life’s challenges, the power of forgiveness, and the transformative practice of mindfulness.
