The True Nature Trail
Welcome to the True Nature Trail, your path to cultivating self-confidence and overcoming anxiety.
The True Nature Trail is for those who believe or are willing to discover in practice that the most powerful, enduring healing begins from the inside-out. There is no sage we must seek; that power rests within.
If you sometimes feel like you might crumble under pressure, or if you’re just tired of nerves getting the best of you in the midst of important moments, The True Nature Trail could be for you.
The course curriculum addresses causes of nerves and anxiety, empowering you to shift from self-consciousness to self-assurance. Instead of covering up what's bothering you and trying to manage the symptoms, we guide you to overcome the struggle within yourself.
Through the True Nature method, you'll come to understand that anxiety stems from internal patterns of thought and behavior, rather than external factors. The keys to your wellbeing rest in your own hands. This discovery becomes a lasting awareness, offering a profound sense of ownership over your life.
Throughout the True Nature Trail curriculum, you'll learn to navigate challenges without being derailed by self-criticism or doubt. By embracing your true nature and fostering self-respect, you'll discover a newfound resilience in the face of anxiety-provoking situations.
Course Description
The eight-week curriculum includes self-study exercises and a weekly Trail huddle on Zoom. Nervous about a big event? Grappling with everyday stressors? The True Nature method will equip you with the tools to approach your current circumstances with calm and confidence.
Progressing on the True Nature Trail, which follows an analogy of a hike in nature, you'll discard beliefs and habits which no longer serve you. In their place, you will develop supportive practices and practical mental reminders. These guide you to choose thoughts and perspectives that tap into your ambition, and align with your commitments in life. Course exercises encourage you to focus on thoughts that support your growth, fulfillment, and happiness. We also incorporate exercises in this online course to ground you in the wisdom of nature, while discovering and reflecting on your own true nature.
You experience a bond with the natural world, which opens and expands your own awareness. Your trust in your self will deepen, an enduring gift that extends far beyond the course's conclusion.
Join us on the True Nature Trail and create your life of conscious choice, confidence and clarity.

"I've benefited the most from the guidance in the course when I drift off my path, and into traps caused by my own thinking. The True Nature Trail helps me realize that I can just as easily focus on the "Trail markers," the thoughts, perspectives, and practices that encourage me as I go after what I want. And I feel good remembering that I am the author of my own life." - Ryan Conroy, True Nature Trail participant

Andy Bayon
Program Creator and Guide
I have been fascinated by nature since I was barely old enough to climb a tree. I would pick from a few favorite climbing trees in the yard where I grew up in southeastern Massachusetts and sit there, observing a different perspective of the world. Since then, I’ve been climbing mountains and wandering through forests in North, Central, and South America, continuing to deepen my appreciation for nature, of which we are part.
Today, I help people reconnect with inner wisdom and peace of mind through their personal experiences in nature. Though I relish outdoor adventure such as climbing a challenging mountain, I believe the most rewarding adventure of a lifetime is to look within and know who we really are, and discover what we are capable of.
My background as a coach includes coaching leadership and communication courses as a volunteer for close to seven years before opening my own coaching practice in 2019. Since then, I’ve led programs on dating and relationships, and career-focused programs for those seeking purpose and meaning in their work.
I am also a student of Buddhist wisdom, Taoism, shamanic healing, and have had a meditation practice since 2013. The mind-training exercises in The True Nature Trail are a direct result of my own exploration and practice. I’ve synthesized the most beneficial insights of my self-study and experience guiding clients into the mind-training exercises and teachings in the course.
We are each powerful beyond measure, and we begin to know this when we shine the light within. We do have a say in the quality of every aspect of our life. Yet we so often forget this core truth, especially when struggling.

Why participate in this program?
The True Nature Trail will be a rewarding investment if you are open to taking on an area of your life where it feels like you lack confidence. When a personally challenging situation arises, you may feel like you're standing on shaky ground. Instead of being excited for the challenge, you feel intimidated and start to doubt. Yet you know that this is not the true, authentic you.
This course is an especially potent resource for someone grappling with excessive nerves before or during a speech, presentation, interview, or big event. Yet how exactly your anxiety manifests is less important than your commitment to not let it take you out of the game. If what you've read here resonates, I invite you to register above and join me in the course.
A quick note on my philosophy as a coach and guide:
I will offer guidance, seeing my role as a mirror for you to discover what you seek from within yourself. You are the best authority on your own life. Like a sherpa, I’ll walk by your side every step of the way, helping you avoid obstacles and find the path of least resistance, but you are the one who has to take the steps.
I will listen for what you say is important to you. Call these your commitments. I will reflect back qualities you have that you may not see or have fully grasped yet. And I will never judge you for what you have gone through or are still at work on.
If you would like to connect with me, please reach out to me at [email protected]. I would be honored to meet a fellow seeker, no matter where you are on your journey.
