IRVINGTON, N.Y., Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Weleda announces a new partnership with The Foundation for Living Beauty, a nonprofit organization supporting women with cancer. This month, Weleda is proud to sponsor the foundation's Goddess Wellness Retreat, a four-day healing experience taking place in Malibu, California at the Serra Retreat Center. This holistic retreat is offered free of charge to female applicants living with cancer and provides a restorative mind/body/soul experience through workshops and gentle movement classes. During this retreat, Weleda will host a workshop focused on rebalancing the body, mind, and spirit through nature's wisdom and plant-rich products that work in harmony with the skin.

Since 1921, Weleda has carefully crafted plant-rich skincare products that work with the body's own systems, which aligns with the mission of The Foundation for Living Beauty to empower women while increasing their wellbeing. Weleda is proud to support the foundation's core focus knowing women feel more in balance when they are closer to nature.

Dedicated to improving the quality of life for women living with cancer and cancer survivors, The Foundation for Living Beauty provides support through educational opportunities, sisterhood events, retreats and resources. While the original focus of the foundation was 'look good, feel good' events, the mission has since evolved to provide a complete support system to meet the emotional and physical needs of female cancer patients. Today, The Foundation for Living Beauty offers services designed to help women along their cancer journeys while educating and uplifting.

"We are thrilled to partner with such an inspirational organization like The Foundation for Living Beauty," said Rob Keen, CEO of Weleda. "Our mission of helping women to find balance and re-center by being in harmony with nature fits perfectly with the goals of The Foundation for Living Beauty. Together we aim to help these Living Beauties connect to their "inner nature" and bring them a feeling of balance in body, mind and spirit as they continue on their healing journey."

In addition to sponsoring the Goddess Wellness Retreat, Weleda will donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of a limited-edition Holiday bag, as well as all proceeds from Weleda Garden Plant purchases at Weleda.com to help continue The Foundation for Living Beauty's important work and cause.
