You might also try perfecting the art of being alone in a crowded room, that works very well.
I ran off and did live in the woods for two weeks up in the bottom end of the north east territories. I had hoped to live there for six months but wanted to see what it was like first. I learned two things: first living in a lean-to is a crap way to live and if you want any time for spiritual refinement you need to build some civilization. I looked in to what it would take to make a small 10 X 10 hut worth livening in, and found it would take a major undertaking. Hauling tools and supplies up there would not be fun. Mind you I still intend to do it again but it will be better planed and supplied next time.
There is a Taoist monastery in CA, one in the back woods of Arkansas and a few more scattered about. Out here in Hawaii there is a harikrishna temple that will put your up for free without regard to religion provided you help with the cooking and cleaning as you search for awakening. I think some of the bigger churches will do the same. Japanese Shugendo "warrior cults" will take anyone provided they speak Japanese and the government lets you live there for an extended time; they live mostly alone from what I remember.
--------------------
Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion....
We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs,
from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything....
The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light.
This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.
-Sage Vasishtha
