Franko Heke

Franko Heke is a sound healer, breathwork guide, and vocal channel whose work is deeply rooted in Māori wisdom and earth-based practices. Drawing from ancestral chants, overtone singing, breath, and intuitive sound, he creates powerful spaces for grounding, release, and reconnection. His voice carries a raw, elemental quality, inviting participants into direct relationship with breath, body, and the living presence of the Earth. Rather than performing for an audience, Franko holds immersive journeys where sound becomes a tool for transformation. His sessions often move beyond words, allowing vibration and resonance to work on a cellular level. Guided by intuition and lineage, his offerings support nervous system regulation, emotional clearing, and a return to embodied awareness. At BUMI Festival, Franko Heke offers a deeply rooted and primal experience, one that invites participants to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with ancestral memory through breath, voice, and vibration. His presence brings a grounded, ceremonial depth that aligns naturally with Bumi’s ethos of nature, community, and inner remembering.
