About The Noble Circle Project

The Noble Circle Project was founded in 2003 by eight local women coping with their own cancer diagnosis. These courageous women learned how to navigate the treatment process, support each other, and seek out ways to take charge of their cancer journey. They were united in the belief they could use their personal experiences to help other women “thrive” beyond cancer.

The Noble Circle Project is committed to creating an intimate and caring community of women thriving beyond cancer by bringing hope, inspiration, empowerment and well-being through programs focusing on nutritional education, complementary energy techniques, and peer support. The next New Sister Program Retreat is scheduled for March 2020.
