In the third phase, performers co-create and co-tend an intimate place filled with aural-visual trans-narratives that can be downloaded from the trans_narratives page .

When we co-create and co-tend a space for love_potion at festivals or at home we cleanse the space with frankincense, immerse it in aural-visual trans-narratives, light candles and place bowls of borage and seeds at the entrance.  

We continue to nurture and tend our space during the time that friends and strangers join us.   Opening our selves to a state of fragility and vulnerability we tend the space with visitors, connecting with them verbally and non-verbally and offering potion ingredients and recipe for them to take away, prepare and share with others.  

love-potion extends outside the tended space weaving together   processes and relations that co-emerge through growing ingredients, making potion and encountering others.  

The work uses fragile protocols that mark the mutable borders of an encounter-event in which there is potential for acts of healing and tending to co-emerge through participants' everyday performances.  

The fragile protocols fade away as acts of tending co-emerge, and re-emerge as the acts of tending co-fade.   As part of an invisible network the activities of participants are never incorporated or assimilated into love_potion but exist alongside it.
