Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud
Book on Viator →Operated by Love Pure · Bookable on Viator
Smell your way to self-love. This 2-hour Ubud workshop mixes aromatherapy with intention, ending in a singing bowl meditation.
I love that it’s a private setup (your group only, up to 4) and you get hands-on guidance while you create your own face and body oil blend. One thing to keep in mind: the space is small, so it’s not suitable for babies or wheelchairs.
I also like the calm, ritual-style flow: you start with an oracle of essences and energy-point focus, then you actually mix and blend essential oils guided step by step. You’ll also get a welcome drink (coffee and/or tea plus a handmade natural infusion) and a take-home travel skincare gift set.
Key things that make this workshop worth your time
- Private, small-group sessions (1 to 4 people) so your questions don’t get lost
- Oracle card reading + intention setting before you touch the oils
- Hands-on essential oil blending designed around self-love
- Singing bowl meditation to close the session in a grounded way
- Everything included: materials, equipment, bottled water, and a travel skincare set to take home

The Love Pure meeting point in Ubud: calm start, easy structure

The workshop meets at LOVE PURE natural skincare products & Aromatherapy Workshops for healing and learning in Petulu, Ubud (Kutuh Kaja area). The address is Jl. Tirta Tawar No.5, Petulu. The session is designed to feel like a mini ritual rather than a rushed class, and the format stays simple: you show up, settle in, and follow the leader’s pace.
It’s also a good sign that they state the space is small. That usually means more personal attention and less waiting around. Just plan accordingly. If you’re traveling with someone who needs wheelchair access or you’re traveling with a baby, this specific workshop space may not work well.
On the practical side, you’ll handle check-in with a mobile ticket, and the activity ends back at the same meeting point. That helps you keep the rest of your Ubud day flexible. Plan for about 2 hours total, and consider building in a little buffer afterward so you can enjoy the calmer mood you’re likely to leave with.
What you do first: welcome tea infusion, then your intention

Before you start mixing oils, the workshop sets the tone. Upon arrival, you’ll be offered coffee and/or tea, plus a handmade natural infusion made by the team as a welcome. This is one of those small details that helps your body settle in. You’re about to spend time with scent, and it’s easier when you’re not rushed or dehydrated.
Then the session moves into the self-reflection part. You’ll have a short meditation and an oracle card reading focused on essences. They also mention recognition of your energy points, which is part of the way they guide you toward choosing essential oils that match your intuition and intention.
The takeaway here is that you’re not just learning how to mix oils like a chemistry project. You’re prompted to connect how you feel with what you’re smelling. That matters because essential oils work in a sensory way first. If you go in hoping for calm and clarity, this start sets you up for that.

Oracle of essences and energy points: how it guides your oil choices
This workshop uses the oracle reading as a bridge between intuition and ingredients. You’ll pull an oracle of essences and do a short focus on energy points, then you’ll use that to guide what you choose to blend.
What I like about this approach is that it gives you permission to stop overthinking. You’re not expected to know oil names or blend formulas ahead of time. Instead, you’re encouraged to pay attention to your reactions—what feels comforting, what feels energizing, what feels like it fits the mood you want to carry with you.
Now, a gentle reality check: this is spirituality and aromatherapy, not medical treatment. Treat it as a self-care practice. If you want your essential oil blend to support relaxation, self-soothing, or confidence, this kind of intention-setting can be genuinely useful.
The hands-on alchemy: create your self-love essential oil blend

Here’s the core of the experience: you create your own natural face and body oil blend by mixing and blending essential oils with intention.
The workshop includes laboratory equipment and the materials, so you aren’t responsible for buying supplies or figuring out dilution ratios. You’ll work at the same time you learn, which is what makes the session feel meaningful instead of passive.
The sensory part is big. You’ll explore scents and pick oils that resonate. The process is guided, so if you’re scent-sensitive or you’re unsure where to start, you can slow down and make choices that feel right. This is also where the intuition part becomes practical: your energy and your senses help determine your blend.
One more thing I appreciate is the workshop framing. The end goal isn’t just a pleasant smell. It’s specifically a self-love blend—something you can use as part of your daily skincare ritual. That’s how you turn a 2-hour class into an everyday habit.
Singing bowl meditation: why the ending matters

At the end, you finish with a singing bowl meditation. This isn’t filler. It’s part of how the workshop seals the experience so you don’t leave feeling scattered.
Singing bowl meditation tends to work best as a transition: you’ve spent the session selecting oils, focusing on intention, and mixing something personal. Then you shift your attention away from creating and into receiving. The result is often a noticeable drop in mental noise.
In my view, this kind of ending is what makes a workshop like this more than a souvenir. You go home with something tangible (your oil), but you also take home a calmer state you can recreate later—at least in your mind.
Take-home value: your face and body oil plus travel gift set

The workshop doesn’t end when your blend is done. You’ll take home your own face and body oil, plus a travel skincare gift set from their products.
This matters for value. At $31.46 per person, you’re paying for a guided session plus ingredients, equipment, and take-home products. The included bottled water and welcome drinks are also part of why this feels complete instead of like a bare-bones workshop.
A good way to think about it: if you were to buy essential oils, basic supplies, and skincare extras separately, the total would usually climb fast. Here, you’re paying for someone else to handle the setup and teach the process. Even better, you leave with a blend that’s built around what you chose, not something mass-produced.
If you’re traveling, the travel gift set is especially handy. It’s the kind of add-on that can help you keep using your new skincare routine away from home.
Price and logistics: $31.46 for 2 hours of guided blending

Let’s talk value in plain terms. At $31.46 per person for about 2 hours, this is positioned as an accessible, hands-on workshop rather than a high-end private spa service. The price makes sense when you include:
- All materials and laboratory equipment
- Welcome drinks (coffee and/or tea plus a handmade infusion)
- Bottled water
- A take-home face and body oil
- A travel skincare gift set
The logistics are also simple: you return to the meeting point, and it’s held in a small space designed for close interaction. Capacity is from 1 to up to 4 people per session, and it’s described as private, meaning only your group participates.
The one practical note I’d add: the workshop doesn’t include lunch, so plan your timing. They explicitly state that during the workshop they won’t offer food, so bring what you need to feel comfortable. If your day runs tight, schedule this when you can still eat before and after.
Who should book this (and who might not love it)

I’d recommend this workshop if you want a real aromatherapy experience in Ubud that blends hands-on creation with a calm spiritual tone. It’s a good fit for:
- People who enjoy scent, self-care rituals, or skincare routines
- Travelers who want something creative but not complicated
- Anyone who likes guided reflection (oracle reading, meditation) alongside practical making
It may be less ideal if you need wheelchair access or you’re traveling with a baby, since the space is small. Also, because the workshop includes no lunch, you’ll want to manage your comfort and timing.
If you’re the type who loves making small personal items while traveling, this one hits the sweet spot: you leave with your own custom oil and a ritual-style experience you can repeat.
Should you book Essence Alchemy in Ubud?

If you want a 2-hour activity that feels personal and sensory, I think this is a strong choice. The combination of oracle reading, guided essential oil blending, and singing bowl meditation gives it a clear flow. Add in the take-home face and body oil and travel skincare gift set, and it becomes more than a one-off experience.
Book it when you’re looking for calm and self-care rather than sightseeing. I’d especially recommend it early in your Ubud stay or on a day you want something quieter. If you’re sensitive to space constraints or need mobility accommodations, read the small-space note carefully first.
