Ubud turns scent into self-care. In this Love Pure workshop, I love the oracle card reading to guide your choices, and I also love that you leave with your own face and body essential oil blend. It is creativity plus spirituality, done in a calm, hands-on way.

One thing to consider first: the studio is small, so it is not suitable for babies or wheelchairs. If you need lots of space to move around comfortably, this may feel tight.

Key things to know before you go

• Oracle of essences to help choose what fits your intention
• Private attention from the workshop leader in a group up to 4
• You mix your own face and body oil, then take it home
• Singing bowl meditation at the start and finish for a soothing rhythm
• Small studio setting, so plan for close quarters
• All materials included, plus a travel skincare gift set

Turning Ubud vibes into an essential oil you actually use

Ubud is famous for healing routines, spiritual detours, and practical wellness. This workshop fits right into that world, but it also keeps one foot in real life: you make something you can use on your skin later, not just a moment you watch and leave behind. The core idea is simple, you set an intention for self-love, then blend oils that feel right for you.

You get that mix of creativity and calm. You start with a short oracle reading tied to aromatherapy, then move into measuring, blending, and labeling. There is time to breathe, smell, and slow down, which is exactly what you want during a busy Bali trip.

And because it is private (only your group), the leader can check in with you as you go. That is a big deal if you are new to essential oils or not sure how to choose scents.

Where the workshop starts, what you get right away

You meet at the Love Pure studio: LOVE PURE natural skincare products & Aromatherapy Workshops for healing and learning, Kutuh Kaja, Jl. Tirta Tawar No.5, Petulu, Kecamatan Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571. The experience ends back at the same place, so you do not have to build time around transport drop-offs.

When you arrive, you get coffee and/or tea. You also receive a natural infusion handmade by the team as a welcome. It is a small touch, but it sets the tone, gentle and unhurried, before you get into mixing.

You will also have bottled water available. Since there is no lunch during the workshop, this matters. You can stay comfortable without hunting for snacks mid-session.

The oracle of essences and the smell-intuition switch

The workshop includes a short meditation, then an oracle card reading tied to essences. The leader uses the reading to help you recognize what your energy points are telling you, in a way that stays focused on your intention rather than vague spiritual talk.

Practically, the oracle part gives you a structure for choosing scents. Instead of standing in front of a lineup of essential oils feeling overwhelmed, you have a direction to follow. You still make personal choices, but you do it with less guesswork.

Then comes the sensory part. You explore your sense of smell, and you connect it to intuition and the intention for self-love. This is where aromatherapy becomes personal. You are not just picking a pleasant fragrance, you are trying to match what your mind and body respond to in the moment.

If you tend to overthink your self-care routines, this format can be soothing. It turns the decision into a process, not a test.

Mixing your self-love face and body blend like an alchemist

After the reading and meditation, you get into the hands-on creation. You will learn how to make a natural face-body oil using essential oils and the right blending approach taught by the leader. The workshop provides the laboratory equipment, so you are not improvising in someone’s kitchen.

You will select oils, then mix and blend them into a personalized creation infused with intention and self-love. The tone here is both respectful and practical. You learn the tools and then you use them, step by step, until your blend is ready.

A key detail is that you do not just taste, smell, and leave. You actually make a product you can take home. That makes the whole experience feel grounded, like you are building a ritual you can repeat.

The workshop time is about 2 hours, so the pacing stays friendly. You will not be stuck for ages, but you also will not feel rushed through the important part, choosing and blending.

Singing bowl meditation, and why it feels different in a workshop setting

The workshop finishes with a singing bowl meditation. A review I saw highlighted that the meditation with singing bowls felt uplifting, and that it helped people connect with their intuition when picking oils for mind, body, and spirit.

That makes sense. Singing bowls tend to slow your breathing and sharpen your awareness, and in this setting it also gives you closure. You spend time creating, then you pause and settle, which helps your blend feel intentional instead of random.

Even if you are not a big meditation person, you may find this part useful because it is short and tied to the activity you just completed. You leave with your oil, and you also leave with a calmer mindset to use it with.

Take-home skincare and a travel gift set you will actually pack

Your take-home includes your own face and body oil plus a travel skincare gift set with the products. You also get a bottled water during the workshop, which helps you stay comfortable while you create.

The practical value here is that it is a ready-to-use self-care item. Essential oils and oils blended into skincare routines work best when you can bring them with you, and the fact that you get a travel set is a strong match for people who are touring.

If you like practical souvenirs, this beats another bottle of body spray you might use once. You can bring your blend into your hotel routine, then later rebuild the ritual at home.

One thing I’d suggest: when you leave, take a moment to note the intention you set and the scents you chose. It is the quickest way to remember why you made this blend. When you use it later, you will feel more connected to the process.

Private group size, attention, and how the pace works

Sessions run from one person up to 4 people per session, and it is private, only your group participates. For you, that means the leader can give real attention while you blend. It is not a crowded class where you feel like a passenger.

The pacing is built around short moments of meditation and reading, then focused mixing time. With a 2-hour duration, you can plan this as a calm block in your day. It also pairs nicely with other Ubud activities like a coffee stop, a spa visit, or a relaxed dinner.

Booking timing is another practical factor. It is commonly booked about 15 days in advance on average, so if your trip dates are set, I’d reserve ahead. This kind of workshop can be small capacity, and the calendar fills.

What to bring, what to plan around, and how to stay comfortable

There is no lunch offered. The workshop says you should bring what you need to feel comfortable. In my view, that means bring a small snack plan if you are the type who gets hungry, even if you also plan to eat later.

You might also want to wear comfortable clothes with easy access to skin if you are planning to smell and handle oils. You will be in a small studio, so consider a light outfit and no complicated layering.

You should also keep weather in mind. The experience requires good weather. If it gets canceled due to poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

Who this workshop is best for in Ubud, and who might want to skip it

This workshop is a great fit if you want a hands-on wellness activity that feels personal. If you like essential oils, aromatherapy, or guided spiritual rituals, you will likely enjoy the structure: oracle reading, then blending, then singing bowls.

It is also a solid choice if you want something quieter and more intimate than a big group tour. The private setup helps you stay present, especially during the smell and intuition moments.

It is less ideal if you need a large, open space environment. The studio is small and it is not suitable for babies or wheelchairs. If any accessibility needs apply to your group, it is worth checking before you book.

If you are looking for heavy skincare science or a long lecture, this is not that kind of class. It is more about intention, sensory experience, and making your own blend.

Value check: what $31.46 buys you in real terms

At $31.46 per person for about 2 hours, the value comes from two places. First, you leave with your own face and body oil plus a travel skincare gift set. That is tangible product value, not just an experience.

Second, the attention is more personal because it is private to your group and sized for up to 4 people. That can make the process smoother if you are new. In an aromatherapy setting, beginners often need gentle guidance, especially when choosing scents and mixing safely.

So you are paying for time, tools, instruction, and take-home skincare. When I weigh it this way, it compares well to many Ubud activities where you only get photos and a memory.

Just be honest with yourself about priorities. If you only want a scenic tour or a big cultural experience, this may feel too wellness-focused. But if you want a meaningful souvenir that you can actually use, it is hard to beat.

A quick reality check on the vibe and the outcome

The vibe is calming, and the outcome is practical. The oracle card reading and recognition of energy points are part of the experience, and they guide how you pick oils. Then you blend and create your own self-love blend.

The singing bowl meditation adds emotional pacing. Instead of rushing from activity to activity, you get a start, middle, and finish that feel like a small ritual.

If you like structured self-care, you will appreciate this. If you prefer totally free-form experiences, you might find the guided format a bit directing, even though you still make your own choices.

Should you book this self-love essence workshop in Ubud?

Book it if you want a calm, hands-on Ubud activity that ends with take-home skincare, not just a memory. The oracle-guided oil choices plus the singing bowl meditation are the parts people usually remember, and they also make the experience feel personal rather than generic.

Skip it if you need a lot of space or if accessibility is a concern for your group, since the studio is small and not suitable for babies or wheelchairs. Also skip if you are not interested in essential oils or aromatherapy at all, because the whole workshop centers on scent and blending.

If you are even slightly curious about blending your own oils for self-love, this is the kind of workshop that can turn into a repeat ritual, because you have the product waiting at home.
