 
Some of you have already been a part of the Tao-Girl workshops;
some have not... and, so, for those of you who are excited to
learn more, here's some information.
TAO-GIRLS RULE!
A Workshop for Girls - Ages 11 to 17
Let me start by reminding you a bit about me: my
name is CJ Golden and I am the author of the book, TAO OF THE
DEFIANT WOMAN and TAO-GIRLS RULE!
 I
wrote TAO OF THE DEFIANT WOMAN to help women (myself
included) because as we go through life we find that all
things change: our friends and family, our bodies, our
health and the world around us. Those are the times when we
are going along as if everything is just great and then,
wham, something happens that turns our worlds upside down. |
In the
book I share a belief of mine that follows an ancient
Chinese way of thinking. It’s called TAO (pronounced DOW)
and it teaches us we need to accept changes that happen in
our lives. And then I talk about being defiant or
dynamic - that's the part that makes us strong. |
Many of the TAO AND
DEFIANT WOMEN I met have daughters about your age. These
women asked me to write a new book – one for girls ages 11 –
17. |
I titled your book TAO-GIRLS RULE!
because, well, you do RULE when you live your lives as
Tao-Girls.
You can learn more about TAO-GIRLS on
the: Are YOU a Tao-Girl? page .
So far, I
have met with many groups of girls and am finding you are
all going through some pretty difficult changes in your
lives – just like we moms and grandmothers did when we were
younger. In some ways your lives are similar to ours
when we were your age, but also very different.

During a workshop, when you, your friends and I meet, we will
talk about the lives of Tao-Girls and see how being balanced,
confiednt and bold helps to keep us strong, confident and happy.
We do this by sharing our stories...learning from each other,
playing games and having fun.
When we’re together you will learn about me and my work and I,
in turn, will learn more about you. There is much you can teach
me about the challenges you face in your lives and how you deal
with them.
I have many workshops coming up
with Tao-Girls around the country. It would be fun to meet
you and your friends, too. There are even times when I've
met with girls and the adults in their lives (mom, grandmother,
aunt, etc.) and we've done workshops together. They
were really very interesting workshops and and everyone had a
great time!
The photo above shows me
with a group of kids and adults at a workshop at TBICO in
Connecticut. Proof that we really do have fun! |

workshops, please email me at

I am so looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks!
