One small room in Ubud can change your whole mood. This essential oils alchemy workshop blends intention, aromatherapy, and a little spiritual guidance, ending with a singing bowl meditation. You’ll create a personal self-love face-and-body oil while learning how to mix and use essential oils without it feeling technical or intimidating.

Two things I really like: you get hands-on time with a leader who gives you personal attention, and the experience is designed to feel calming, not rushed (oracle card reading, then meditation). One thing to consider: the space is small, so it isn’t a good fit for wheelchairs, and they note it’s not suitable for babies.

Where Love Pure’s small Ubud space turns into a calm lab

Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud - Where Love Pure’s small Ubud space turns into a calm lab
This experience starts at the LOVE PURE natural skincare products & Aromatherapy Workshops for healing and learning! in Petulu, Ubud. I like that the address is specific and easy to find, and you return there at the end since the tour is set up as a local workshop, not a long day-trip circuit.

Inside, the vibe is part studio, part ritual. You’re not just learning theory—you’re using the provided lab equipment to mix ingredients into something practical you can actually use on your face and body. That matters in Bali, where many workshops can feel like a showroom tour with a quick sample at the end.

Also, plan for the room size. They clearly state the space is small and not suitable for babies or wheelchairs, so if mobility is a concern for your group, this is the first thing to check before you book.

Your 2-hour self-love ritual: oracle cards, mixing, and singing bowls

Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud - Your 2-hour self-love ritual: oracle cards, mixing, and singing bowls
The workshop runs about 2 hours, and it follows a clear flow: calm first, creation in the middle, meditation to close. Even if you’re not big on spiritual activities, the structure helps you stay focused and reduces that awkward feeling of not knowing what to do.

Here’s what you can expect in the order it’s described:

  • You arrive and get a welcome drink: they share a natural infusion handmade by them, and coffee and/or tea is also included on arrival.
  • You get a short meditation to set the tone.
  • You receive an oracle reading connected to essences, plus recognition of your energy points.
  • Then comes the fun part: you select essential oils, mix, and blend them into your own personalized self-love creation.
  • You finish with a singing bowl meditation.

That arc is the real value. Many essential oil classes focus only on scent and recipe. This one layers in intention and reflection, so the oils you end up choosing feel tied to you, not just to what smells good on paper.

The blending part: creativity you can actually take home

Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud - The blending part: creativity you can actually take home
I love that you’re making a face-and-body oil, not just an aroma spray or a single-use tester. You’ll craft a natural creation infused with intention and self-love, and you take home what you make.

They keep the teaching grounded. You learn how to make the natural face-body oil and how to use essential oils. That’s useful if you want to bring a little aromatherapy into daily life after your Bali trip instead of leaving with a bottle that sits untouched.

The “alchemist” framing isn’t just marketing fluff here. You’re guided through choosing oils, mixing them, and understanding how your blend fits your intention. Plus, the inclusion of laboratory equipment means it’s set up for real measuring and mixing, not just hand-wavy crafting.

How the oracle and energy prompts shape your choices

The oracle card reading and energy-point recognition aren’t there to scare you into being mystical. They function more like a decision tool. You’ll use them to connect with your intuition and then recognize what oils resonate with your inner “signal.”

If you’re the kind of person who needs a reason before you commit, this helps. It gives structure to choosing scents when you might otherwise overthink it—especially because essential oils can smell very different in a bottle versus in a blended oil.

What you’ll take home: face-and-body oil plus a travel skincare gift set

Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud - What you’ll take home: face-and-body oil plus a travel skincare gift set
At the end, you don’t walk out empty-handed. You’ll take home:

  • The face and body oil you created in the workshop
  • A travel skincare gift set with their products
  • Plus bottled water is provided during the session

There’s also a practical angle to the gift set. If you’re packing light, a travel-size set is easier to use on your trip right away and easier to keep on hand later. It also helps you continue the routine without immediately ordering supplies.

And since the materials are included, you’re not juggling shopping lists or trying to find compatible bottles in Ubud while you’re also dealing with traffic and heat. That alone is a quiet form of value.

Food, timing, and the kind of day this fits best

Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud - Food, timing, and the kind of day this fits best
This workshop is 2 hours, and they don’t offer lunch during the session. That’s important for your planning. Bring whatever you need to feel comfortable—snacks, water outside what they provide, or anything you personally require to avoid getting cranky mid-ritual.

Timing is flexible in the sense that you’re not locked into a half-day of driving. It’s a good add-on when you want something meaningful that still respects your energy level. Ubud can wear you out with heat, crowds, and motorbike traffic. A workshop like this is a calmer change of pace.

The small-group setup matters more than you think

This is private, and the session is from one person up to 4 people per session. With a small group, you’re more likely to get actual attention while choosing oils and blending. You’ll also have less pressure to go fast, which helps when the point is intuition and intention, not speed.

Price and value: why $31.46 can make sense here

Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud - Price and value: why $31.46 can make sense here
The price is $31.46 per person, and it’s typically booked about 15 days in advance. Even without comparing to other Bali workshops, the value is clear because so much is included.

You’re getting:

  • All materials included (and laboratory equipment provided)
  • Coffee and/or tea, plus a handmade natural infusion welcome
  • Bottled water
  • The oracle + meditation components
  • A take-home face-and-body oil you created
  • A travel skincare gift set

So you’re not paying just for a “class.” You’re paying for a guided process, time with a leader, and a tangible product you can use afterward. In other words, you’re buying an experience that ends with something real.

If you want a souvenir that stays useful rather than decorative, this is a strong pick.

Who should book this self-love essence workshop in Ubud

Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud - Who should book this self-love essence workshop in Ubud
This is a great fit if you want:

  • A calmer, more personal Ubud activity than temples or crowded markets
  • A hands-on aromatherapy experience with guided spiritual elements
  • Something you can use after the trip (face-and-body oil + skincare set)
  • A small setting where you’re not pushed into a large group dynamic

It’s also a good option for travelers who like learning with their hands. You get instruction, but you also get to do the mixing yourself, which usually sticks in your brain better than listening only.

On the other hand, if you’re chasing big scenery or a high-adrenaline day, you might find this slower. It’s about scent, sensation, and reflection. Think cozy workshop energy, not sightseeing energy.

A few practical tips before you go

Essence Alchemy Workshop: create self-love blends in Ubud - A few practical tips before you go
I’d treat this like a skincare-focused class. Since you’ll be creating a face-and-body oil, wear something comfortable and consider leaving your most delicate fragrance-heavy items at home. You’ll get the best results when your sense of smell can actually do its job.

They mention you can participate if you’re a “most travelers,” but again: the space is small and not suitable for babies or wheelchairs. If your group has any accessibility needs, check this early.

Also, set a simple expectation: you’ll leave with a blend that’s meant to feel like yours. If you go in trying to make a perfect “designer scent,” you’ll likely miss the point. The blending is tied to intention and self-love, guided by oracle and energy points.

Should you book Essence Alchemy in Ubud?

Yes, you should book it if you want a meaningful Ubud break that’s hands-on, small-group, and product-focused. The biggest reasons to choose it are personal attention, a guided process that includes oracle and meditation, and the fact that you take home the face-and-body oil you made plus a travel skincare gift set.

Skip it if you need a large-venue event, need wheelchair access, or you’re planning a day where you can’t handle a no-lunch workshop. This experience is 2 hours, but it asks you to slow down and show up for the process.

If you’re on the fence, here’s my quick decision rule: if you’d enjoy making something you’ll use on your skin later, and you like guided calm, this workshop is a very solid use of time in Ubud.
