> **気の合う人々のいる場** を見つけたら、休まずに通うこと。  
>  When you find a place with people that matches your interest...

To understand this sentence I tried changing it into

> "(あなたは)気が合う人々がいる場"

And I think I seemed to understand the meaning of this part. Is my
understanding correct?

question
meaning relative-clauses
Sentence seems to have multiple relative clause「気の合う人々のいる場を見つけたら、休まずに通うこと。」
More context would be helpful, but going by what you have provided here, this
reads like a piece of general advice given to an unspecified audience, in
which case, yes, if you add a [generic
you](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_you), it'd make sense. The author
is talking to the reader in such a way that they expect the reader to want to
learn from them. You could say the tone is patronizing. And you are right this
sentence does contain cascaded relative clauses. For more on relative clauses
in Japanese, check out [this

ことfunctions as a nominalizer that marks a thing that is suggested to the
reader/listener. See entry 10 [on
jisho.org](https://jisho.org/word/%E4%BA%8B). So your original sentence means

> 気の合う人々のいる場を見つけたら、休まずに通うこと。  
>  If you find a place with a lot of like-minded people, go there without
> cease.
