Trust Builds the Warrior

Lora O’Brien in conversation with Ever Conwell, Class of 2024

Q1. Lora: Alright Ever, before you leapt into a six-month Intensive with a war-goddess breathing down your neck, what was really going on for you?

Ever: I was actively avoiding the relationship. Not exactly afraid, more… intimidated. I had trust issues – with Her and with myself – so I kept turning away from the very obvious signs in my life. 

Key takeaway: Many students arrive wrestling with doubt, not lack of devotion. The first win is honesty about your resistance.

Q2. Lora: So what finally nudged you to click the enrol button?

Ever: Bridgid gave me the shove! I felt the “No, you need to do this” so strongly I couldn’t ignore it. I needed tools to become a better activist and to build local community – even with people who annoy the heck out of you.

Key takeaway: The Intensive isn’t fluffy goddess worship; it’s practical training for real world sovereignty and community action.

Q3. Lora: Six months is a slog. What was the most powerful surprise along the way?

Ever: My nightly devotionals. Sitting down in quiet every evening created space for genuine communication. When She did speak, it landed hard. 

Key takeaway: Tiny, consistent practices trump grand, occasional rituals. Show up; She decides when to answer.

Q4. Lora: Let’s talk trust. How has your relationship with the Mórrígan changed?

Ever: The respect was always there; the trust wasn’t. Through the lore, the journeys, the nightly check-ins – I finally trust both Her and myself. 

Key takeaway: The programme’s layered approach – Learn, Experience, Integrate – turns academic respect into lived trust.

Q5. Lora: What piece of the Intensive supported you most?

Ever: Community. Reading other students’ posts kept me accountable and stopped the self-beat-ups when I lagged behind. 

Key takeaway: The meitheal community model means you never face the battlefield alone; peers pick you up when your energy dips.

Q6. Lora: Time is everyone’s dragon. How did you actually fit the work in?

Ever: I printed the slides every Sunday, kept the notebook on the coffee table, and blocked one hour after dinner each night. Bit-by-bit beats weekend cramming. 

Key takeaway: Two to three hours a week is doable when you calendar it like meals – and the programme is built with catch-up weeks.

Q7. Lora: Last words for someone hovering on the fence about joining the next programme?

Ever: If you feel the nudge, listen. The Intensive gives structure, support, and a kick-up-the-arse when you need it – and you will need it.

Key takeaway: Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s feeling that fear and doing it anyway.
