Finding a Group

I was moved by a quote “Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.”
This is what I have to do: Find a group of people who study English hard.
I live in a rural area of Japan so it is difficult to find such a group.
There will be a seminar next month in Hiroshima.
The seminar is for English teachers who work in junior high school or high school.
Hiroshima is a bigger city than my city so I might as well find a group of people who study English hard.
I will apply for the seminar hoping that I can make friends who study English harder.
