Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud
Book on Viator →Operated by Love Pure · Bookable on Viator
Scent therapy meets practical DIY in Ubud. This workshop is interesting because it mixes hands-on blending with a spiritual flow: you’ll start with an oracle of essences and end with a singing bowl meditation. It’s short, focused, and designed to help you match smells to your intentions.
I especially like two things: you get personal guidance (the session is private, from one person up to four), and you leave with a finished face and body oil plus a travel skincare gift set. One drawback to consider: the space is small and isn’t suitable for babies or wheelchairs.

Why Ubud is a smart place for self-love blends

Ubud already feels built for this kind of work. You’re surrounded by people who take wellness seriously—yoga mornings, herbal shops, ritual music, and plenty of quiet corners where you can reset.
This matters because scent is personal. The experience is set up so you’re not just picking oils at random. You’ll be guided to connect your choices to how you want to feel—so the end result is something you actually want to use at home.
And because the session runs about two hours, you don’t have to carve out a whole day. It’s a good “one afternoon” activity if you want something meaningful without losing daylight to traffic and timing.

Arriving at Love Pure and getting a welcome that sets the mood

You’ll meet at the Love Pure natural skincare products and aromatherapy workshop location in Petulu, Ubud (Kutuh Kaja, Jl. Tirta Tawar No.5, Petulu). The session ends back at the meeting point, so you won’t spend your time coordinating transport once you arrive.
Upon arrival, you’re welcomed with a natural infusion made by the hosts, plus coffee and/or tea. Bottled water is also included. This might sound like a small detail, but it helps you settle in—especially if you’re coming straight from Ubud heat or after an active morning.
Practical tip: the space is described as small. If you’re bringing someone with mobility needs, or you’re traveling with a baby, this is the one place you’ll want to think twice before booking.
The opening ritual: oracle cards, meditation, and energy points

The workshop doesn’t jump straight into mixing. It starts with intention and awareness.
Expect a short meditation, an oracle card reading, and recognition of your energy points as part of the session flow. Then you’ll move into choosing essential oils that match what comes up for you.
Here’s why this “warm-up” phase is valuable. When you make a blend with only technique, it can turn into a DIY project. When you build in intuition and intention, the blend becomes a personal tool—something you can use later as a cue for how you want to treat yourself.
One more point: the final part includes a singing bowl meditation, so the session bookends your work with grounding. That’s helpful if you’re the type who likes calm closure after hands-on activities.
The hands-on blending lab: how you create your self-love essence

Once the intention is set, you’ll get to the fun part—creating your essential oil blend infused with intention and self-love.
You’ll work with laboratory equipment and all materials are included. That’s key in Bali, where “wellness” activities can sometimes feel vague. Here, you’re actually making something concrete with your own hands, not just learning theory.
You’ll explore your sense of smell and connect with your intuition while selecting and blending essential oils. In other words, you’re not just being told what to pick—you’re guided through a process that makes your choices feel intentional.
Practical note: essential oils are concentrated. If you’re sensitive to strong fragrances, consider arriving without heavy perfume or strongly scented lotion. You’ll be around multiple oils during mixing, so comfort matters.
Making your face and body oil (and what that means for daily use)

A big promise of this workshop is that you’ll learn how to make a natural face-body oil with quality ingredients, then take home what you made.
This is more useful than it sounds. A lot of scent experiences stop at smelling and mixing. This one includes the skincare outcome—so you can continue the ritual on your skin after you leave Ubud.
You’ll finish with your own blend-based product, plus guidance on how to use essential oils (at least at a level that supports making and taking the oil home). The workshop framing is all about self-love, so the product isn’t just a souvenir. It’s built to be part of a routine.
What to think about: the workshop gives you a facial-body oil tailored to your blend. That means you should be honest with yourself during oil selection. If a scent feels too strong or doesn’t land for you, adjust early rather than hoping you’ll grow into it.
Finishing with singing bowls: closure that helps the oil stick in your mind

After you create your blend, the session ends with a singing bowl meditation.
This isn’t filler. The workshop is designed to connect three steps: intention → creation → calm closure. Singing bowls are often used for focus and grounding, and in this context they help you lock in the emotional meaning of your blend.
If you’re someone who likes a ritual structure—start calm, make, then reset—this will feel satisfying. If you’re not into meditation, you’ll still get a clear “wrap up” moment that helps you transition from workshop mode to regular life.
What’s included (and why the inclusions are part of the value)

Let’s talk value, because this is priced at $31.46 per person for an experience that lasts about two hours.
Included items are part of why it’s good value:
- laboratory equipment and all materials
- a handmade welcome infusion
- coffee and/or tea
- bottled water
- a travel skincare gift set with their products
- the face and body oil you create
When a workshop includes materials and the take-home skincare product, you’re not paying for only instruction. You’re paying for an end result you can use.
Also, you get a mobile ticket, and the session is private (just your group). That usually means less waiting around and more attention from the workshop leader while you’re blending.
One more practical note: there’s no lunch offered during the workshop. Plan your timing so you’re comfortable—eat before you go, or bring what you need to feel fine.
Private size in a small space: the real experience vibe

This is listed as private, with capacity from one person up to four per session. That’s a meaningful difference from crowded group classes, especially in aromatherapy where you’ll be smelling and mixing.
In a small group, you’re more likely to get feedback as you choose oils and blend. You’ll also have a calmer pace, which matters when you’re trying to connect with intuition instead of racing.
The tradeoff is the small space itself. The workshop specifically notes it’s not suitable for babies or wheelchairs. If you don’t fall into those categories, you’ll likely enjoy the cozy feel and the focused attention.
The itinerary, step-by-step (so you can picture your 2 hours)
Here’s how the flow works in real time, based on what the workshop includes:
First, you arrive and settle in with a welcome infusion plus coffee/tea and water. Then you begin with a short meditation and an oracle card reading.
Next comes the oracle of essences and recognition of your energy points. This part sets your intention and helps you decide what you’re actually trying to create.
Then you move into selection and blending. You’ll smell essential oils, mix, and blend them into your own self-love essence blend. Laboratory equipment is provided, and all materials are included.
Finally, you close with a singing bowl meditation. After the session, you take home your finished face-body oil and a travel skincare gift set.
At about two hours total, this schedule is well paced—enough time to create something meaningful without dragging on.
Tips to get the most from your self-love blend
You’ll get the best outcome if you treat this like an actual sensory session, not just a crafting activity.
A few practical tips:
- Choose oils based on how they make you feel, not just what you’ve heard about them.
- If a scent is too strong for you, tell the leader and adjust early.
- Take a moment to slow down during smelling. Your first reaction isn’t always the final one.
- If you have fragrance sensitivities, consider coming with minimal competing scents.
Also, keep in mind the session does not offer food during the workshop. If you’re prone to getting lightheaded when hungry, eat beforehand and bring a small snack if that helps your comfort.
Who should book this essential oils workshop in Ubud
This workshop is a great fit if:
- you want a hands-on Bali activity that ends with a real product, not just a memory
- you’re drawn to aromatherapy with a spiritual intention
- you like personalized attention and a small private group vibe
- you want a self-care ritual you can keep using at home
You might skip it if:
- you need wheelchair access or you’re traveling with a baby (the space isn’t suitable)
- you don’t enjoy meditation at all (there is a short meditation and a singing bowl close)
- you want something outdoors with lots of walking time (this is a workshop setting)
Price, scheduling, and what $31.46 really buys you
At $31.46 per person for roughly two hours, the pricing feels fair because you’re not only learning. You’re creating a skincare product—face and body oil—plus getting a travel skincare gift set.
The session is also private (up to four people), and all materials are included. That combination matters. Paying a low price for a group demo is one thing; paying a low price for personal creation time is another.
Timing-wise, it’s typically booked about 15 days in advance on average. If your Ubud schedule is tight, it’s smart to lock it in earlier rather than hoping for last-minute availability.
Weather can affect whether the experience runs. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. And if the minimum number isn’t met, you’ll also get a choice of dates or a refund.
Should you book the Essence Alchemy Workshop?
If you like the idea of turning intention into something you can use daily, I’d book it. The structure is simple and effective: meditation and oracle reading set your mindset, you choose and blend oils with guidance, then you finish with singing bowls and take home your own face-body oil.
The main reason not to book is practical: the space is small and not suitable for babies or wheelchairs. If that’s not your situation, you’ll likely appreciate the calm, focused pace and the fact that you leave with a real, travel-friendly skincare result.
If you’re in Ubud and want one experience that feels both creative and spiritual—without taking your whole day—this is a solid choice.
