Scheduling
Your Reading: All readings are taped and your session cost
includes mailing of your tape if by phone.
You
may schedule a reading in the any of the following ways:
-
Schedule
Online using the Online
Scheduler (Fastest) this allows you to view current openings and schedule
a reading date and time that works for you. (Please note -- the
online scheduler is allows you to schedule no less than 48 hours in
advance. If you need a session sooner than this, you will need to
schedule by telephone or email to check on availability of appointment
times.)
-
Telephone
to schedule a reading by telephoning (360) 385-1073. (Slower,
as I may not be available to answer the phone when you call, and may need
to call you back)
-
Email
to schedule a reading -- Click here: ruccha@carruch.com (Slowest,
as I will need to email you back and communicate about possible reading
times.)
If
you wish to schedule by email or phone please provide the following
information:
-
Your
Name
-
The
type of reading you want (Phone or Onsite)
-
The
length of reading you want (Hour or Half-Hour)
-
The time zone you
are in.
-
Your phone number
with area code or email address where I can reach you.
-
Whether you would like to contact you by phone or email to schedule your appointment.
-
If by phone,
please leave likely times that I might reach you in person, or
-
Indicate how
often you check your email, if that is your preferred mode of contact
If
you schedule with the Online Scheduler, you will receive a confirmation of
your scheduled time by email, usually within a few minutes. If you
contact me by email or phone, I will email/call you back (usually within 48 hours) and we will schedule a time for your session.
I am generally booked one to two weeks out. Because of my teaching and
travel schedule, I generally do private session work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and
Fridays, 9 am - 6 pm, but I do schedule some evening and weekend appointments
for those with very inflexible weekday schedules.

Calling/Arriving:
At the time scheduled for your reading, telephone me at (360) 385-1073 (if you
have scheduled a phone reading) or arrive at my house (driving directions here) or the
agreed-upon site if this is an onsite reading. IMPORTANT! Please remember,
if you are having a phone reading, that you will be
calling me.
If
you call or arrive late for an appointment, it is my policy that we
proceed with the reading only to the end of the time you originally scheduled for,
and you pay the full cost of your scheduled
time. If you cancel with less than 24-hours notice, you must pay me
in full for the scheduled session time. Please see more
about this at Cancellation/Late Show Policy
How
to Prepare: To prepare for your reading, you may wish to
compile a list of questions, although this is not required. You may ask
about anything pertaining to you, your life, and your relationships,
and your questions may be quite varied (folks ask about their "soul
paths" and their cars in the same reading!) Carruch says that
everything is Spirit, so there are no mundane questions. However, if you
are attempting to access personal information about another living person
without their consent, some information may be inaccessible.
Also, you may wish to notice any strange
synchronicities which occur between the time you contact me and your reading.
Often, your guides will try to "nudge" you toward certain lines of
questioning by throwing odd, and often humorous things your way prior to a
reading.
Most people prefer a one hour reading for their
first session. The readings are dense and full of material -- most
people talk to me once or twice in the year at most -- so a follow-up
appointment of a half-hour is usually more than adequate.

MY
PHILOSOPHY ABOUT
MONEY & THE WORK:
My
Background: I grew up in a small town in Kansas, medium
size family, small size money, worked my way through college and have supported
myself all my life. I am equally committed to making this work accessible to all
who want it and to caring well for myself. After much experimentation with
formats around money, barter, and exchange (including working for nine years
entirely on the basis of voluntary "love offerings"), I have come up
with the following philosophy/policy about how
I deal with money and equal exchange for my work.
Private Taped Sessions are:
In
addition, for those who refer three new clients who schedule and purchase a
reading, I offer reduced prices for readings. Read more about it
here: Join the Karma Club
I
volunteer my services as a teacher, channel, and minister to The
Society of Conscious Service at least twice each week, at Open Circle and
Doing the Do Class. These events are open to the public and offered purely on a
donation basis. During weekly Open Circle, I channel Carruch in a public
setting for all who desire to attend, and their personal questions are welcome
at this time. In this manner, I assure that the work is accessible and
available to all regardless of monetary status.

Society of Conscious Service.
For those whose real financial need would prevent them
receiving private session work, I am open to trade for
materials and services I need, to make financial arrangements, or to offer
discounted work. I require that those requesting trade/financial
arrangements do this
negotiation directly with me at the time they call/email to schedule a session
or register for a class, rather than negotiating with me at the time of the
session/class.
My guidelines about trade/financial
arrangements are as follows:
-
I believe that
appropriate exchange is an important aspect of healing and enlightenment
work.
-
I
make all trade and financial arrangement agreements in writing, before I
begin an exchange of this type.
-
If
trading, please pay what you can,
then make the rest up in trade. Ask yourself whether your trade is about
convenience or need (Rule of Thumb: If you eat out twice a week or more,
you can probably afford to pay for your session).
-
Please consider your
trade as seriously as you do cash. I experience that many people
"blow off" appointments for which they intend to
trade. I believe this reflects our cultural agreement that money is the
only "real" payment. I don’t hold with that and I give the
same quality of work for trade as for cash. I ask that you honor my work
by considering your trade just as seriously.
-
Please be as willing to offer trade to others as you
are hoping I will be to offer it to you.
If no mutually-amenable trade can be negotiated, other financial
arrangements can be made in advance, such as paying over time. It is
important to me that people be able to access the work, and we can usually find a
flexible alternative so that personal finances are not an obstacle to
participation. I
only agree to make agreements about trade and financial arrangements in writing.
Finally: I am always willing to be of service at little or
no cost to those in real financial need.
I define those in real financial
need as:
-
persons unemployed
through involuntary loss of employment
-
low-income
elderly and/or handicapped, those receiving Aid to Families with children
(essentially, people who qualify for state assistance such as food stamps, SSI,
etc.)
-
dependent children of non-affluent
families
If
you know someone in a difficult situation who would benefit from my work,
perhaps you would consider matching my contribution by gifting them with
one-half the price of their session.
