Aliah Josiah,
Even being in a rural area, put it out to friends you know in more populated places to kepp an ear and eye out for you. A lot of Qigong teachers came and went through Minneapolis during a two-year stint that my aunt looked for a teacher for us. Then Chunyi showed up.
If you made it to a class to talk to Master Nance, then it means you are willing to take the steps to meet an opportunity - if needed .
Put out there what you specifically want in the teacher, systems, and as a result for yourself. Then be vigilant and and ready.
Much Love, Shawn
