Meet The Team

Shane Cooke

Shane Cooke is the founder of The Jasper Cacao Project and The Jasper Community Space.

Through meditation, breathwork, Reiki, sound healing, and cacao ceremonies, Shane creates grounded, heart-led spaces for healing, transformation, and genuine human connection. His work is centred around helping people slow down, reconnect with themselves, release what no longer serves them, and return to a deeper sense of presence, clarity, and purpose.

Before stepping onto this path, Shane spent over 20 years working as a chef, a journey that brought both outward success and intense mental, emotional, and physical challenges. Those experiences became the catalyst for profound personal change, leading him towards spirituality, mindfulness, breathwork, and supporting others through his earlier coaching practice, Jasper Wellbeing.

Cacao entered Shane’s life during a powerful ceremony and sparked an immediate calling. After years of building a deep relationship with the plant and holding sacred spaces rooted in the teachings and traditions of cacao, The Jasper Cacao Project was born. A conscious business founded on integrity, ancestral respect, community, and the sharing of exceptional ceremonial cacao as a tool for connection, healing, and transformation.

A few years later, The Jasper Community Space was created in the heart of Teesside and has since grown into a thriving hub for ceremonies, workshops, music, healing, and conscious community gatherings. A space where people can come together, be seen, reconnect, and remember what truly matters.

Shanes favourite cacao is Criollo and his favourite way to drink it is simple with water, chilli and a dash of rose water finished with a little touch Himalayan salt.

Breece loves to eat cacao raw but when she has a drink she likes it simple with oat milk and a pinch of cayenne.
