Overview

Discover the restorative power of the natural world in our upcoming webinar focused on healing and renewal. Led by oncology social worker Robyn Tibert, MDIV, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, this session dives into the evidence-based science of nature therapy (ecotherapy) and its profound impact on cancer care. Attendees will explore how intentional time in nature can significantly reduce cortisol levels, ease anxiety, and support emotional and spiritual healing during and after cancer treatment. Whether you are a patient or a caregiver, this webinar will illuminate how the environment around us can be leveraged as a powerful tool for holistic clinical support and resilience.

Beyond the scientific data, Robyn will provide practical, actionable advice to help you maximize your time outdoors, tailored to accommodate varying energy levels and mobility. From simple mindfulness exercises under a canopy of trees to creative ways to bring the healing elements of the outdoors inside, you will leave with accessible strategies to integrate nature-based interventions into your daily routine. Join us to learn how to cultivate peace, find grounding amidst life's changes, and intentionally connect with the natural world to support your well-being. Register today to secure your spot!

Robyn Tibert, MDIV, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C

Robyn Tibert, MDIV, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, is a compassionate clinical social worker serving patients and families at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood and Littleton Colorado. Specializing in oncology social work, Robyn provides a vital anchoring presence for individuals navigating the profound complexities and systemic life disruptions that accompany a cancer diagnosis. Her patient care philosophy is deeply rooted in holistic, person-centered guidance. Robyn is firmly committed to walking with patients through the multi-layered emotional, spiritual, and relational changes that come with cancer. Rather than focusing solely on the clinical aspects of care, she views her role as helping patients and their families explore what it means to live fully, both during active treatment and throughout their post-treatment lives. Robyn’s unique ability to support both the practical and existential needs of her patients is backed by a robust, multidisciplinary educational foundation. She earned her Bachelor of Arts from Hanover College in Hanover, Indiana, before going on to receive a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. To anchor her spiritual training in advanced clinical therapeutic practice, she completed her Master of Social Work (MSW) at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This diverse background allows her to offer exceptionally well-rounded, empathetic care tailored to the whole person.
