By mentor I mean finding someone with wisdom in whatever you're interested in, but I'm mainly thinking about regular personal development, not even spirituality, although I'd like to hear about that perspective too if you have experience. And then developing a personal connection with the mentor where you can directly learn from them. I don't mean going to a seminar, or watching videos, or reading books. I don't even mean going to a retreat (although I've never gone to one so I don't know how similar a months long retreat could be to having a mentor) - Have you ever considered finding one? - Is it realistic? - Do you have experience with a mentor? I don't know if trying to find a mentor is a worthy pursuit, or how hard finding a good one can be.
