Hi Jaydee,
It has been suggested that when you need a teacher, they’ll come to you, or you’ll somehow know when you’ve found the right one. However, it seems that you would perhaps benefit more from a group of like minded people. As for moving, I would work out what it is exactly that you want from your practice. Are you happy where you currently live? Do the pros of moving outweigh the cons?
The only thing I will say is be careful not to be manipulated or brainwashed — always approach any mindfulness, meditation or spiritual practise with an objective mind.
Hope this helps.
