Delta Arts Center Celebrates Women’s History Month with Empowering Retreat

March was a month of celebration, empowerment, and community at Delta Arts Center as we honored Women’s History Month with a series of inspiring, women-led events. In collaboration with dynamic local partners, we created a space for women to connect, reflect, move, and dream big together.

Our Women’s Month Retreat brought together wellness, creativity, and empowerment in a day designed to uplift and energize. We kicked off with a grounding meditation led by Zen by Shannon, setting powerful intentions and inviting mindfulness into the space. The event was hosted at the newly opened Healing Unlimited Wellness Collective, where attendees also got an exciting preview of the programming soon to come.

Movement was a major part of the day’s energy! We were guided through a joyful and engaging choreography session by Joel Hurt (aka Phyusion) of the Royal Curtain Drama Guild, and later we danced our way through an Intro to Samba workshop led by Courtney of the NC Brazilian Arts Project. This beginner-friendly class taught the rhythms and cultural roots of Samba no Pé, straight from Rio de Janeiro.

The retreat also featured an empowering workshop that combined artistry and financial literacy—featuring a professional photographer and real estate agent, attendees explored how to show up confidently in front of the camera and how to start building generational wealth through homeownership.

A heartfelt thank you to Arts For Everybody for supporting this experience, and to all the incredible women and community members who made this day unforgettable. Together, we celebrated strength, culture, movement, and legacy.

Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.
