My ideal situation would just be to work with someone who understood my path, had been down it themself, and could guide me in the right direction as well. As if I were struggling in math and wanted to get help from a tutor. This is why studying at a monastery seems like the right place for me right now.
Ah, I see. Well I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of Ticos are Catholics so you might be able to find a Catholic monastery..? On the other hand there are tons of American expats down there so I'm sure you could find somebody with a more spiritual bent who has been down there for a while.
Very true. I'm not necessarily tying myself to Costa Rica. I'm really willing to go anywhere in the world if the circumstances were right.
