The Carter Settlement


ABOUT THE CARTER SETTLEMENT BEQUEST


"All children are born geniuses but are trained out of their godlike power by society and generational conditioning." Raquel M Carter


The Carter Settlement is a way of life, a Renaissance hearkening to the days of victorian life. The Carter Settlement is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organisation dedicated to furthering districts by encouraging women and children to recall their zest for life.


The Carter Settlement achieves these pursuits by small gatherings and workshops, commentary through classes, curating programs, giving rise to content, merchandise and events. 


The Carter Settlement events inspire the message in a bottle; the "Take Joy" movement (inspired by Tasha Tudor, Beatrix Potter and Laura Ingall's Wilder) and illuminate its ideas through an immersive display of authentic participation in personal development classes, workshops and small gatherings. Thus, the Carter Settlement events are both collective gatherings, personally empowering, and transformational. The experiences encourage and blend the lines between self-concept and one's unique ability to comprehend their threaded connection with Inner Consciousness.

Unfortunately, in June of 2019, the same child that faced man" struggles as a youth was brutally murdered. However, with tenaciousness, Raquel never does things by halves, and with a burning desire to learn how to heal, Raquel wrote a storybook titled,  The Tale of Sawyer Lamb.
