From Burn to Bloom is a powerful and perso
nal talk by regenerative designers Shawn Maestretti and Leigh Adams (Studi
o Petrichor &\; Poly/Ana)\, who share their lived experience of prepari
ng for&mdash\;and living through&mdash\;a firestorm.
But this i
sn&rsquo\;t a talk about loss. It&rsquo\;s a talk about relationship&mdash
\;with land\, with fire\, with community\, and with the future we are all
co-creating.
Blending real-time fire response with decades of e
cological wisdom\, this talk explores the flaws in our current fire safety
narratives and offers a living\, practical alternative: whole-system desi
gn. Through vivid storytelling\, critical unlearning\, and grounded strate
gies for tending the land\, you'll be invited to re-imagine the home not a
s a structure to defend\, but as an ecosystem to relate to.
Thi
s is for homeowners\, designers\, policymakers\, builders\, land stewards\
, and anyone ready to shift from fear to connection&mdash\;especially thos
e living on the edge of wildness.
Because the most resilient design i
sn&rsquo\;t just in the land.
It&rsquo\;s in how we re-imagine who we can be!
