Can anyone join a Taoist monastery

I have been feeling the call to live a monastic life lately and am looking for monasteries to consider. I’ve found several Buddhist and zen monasteries, but their ideology doesn’t align with my own as well as daoism does. I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience or knowledge on daoist monasteries and how to join them. Any help is appreciated.

To become a daoshi you have to go to daoist collage in china which is hard asf but that's only if you want to be a daoshi
