About Latitude 55 Outdoors
Latitude 55 Outdoors was founded by Sarah Murray-Boyd, a Canberra-based outdoor activity facilitator, nature connection guide and event manager.
Sarah works with individuals and small groups to help build deep embodied connections to self and nature through mindfulness, nature meditation and somatic techniques.
Motivated by her own adventures outdoors and how they helped her recover from debilitating burnout, Sarah is passionate about the power of time in nature to heal, connect, teach, and guide us.
