“To be evangelical about anything means you only learned once.”
– Betsy Gain

Betsy Gain is in the new generation of multi-hyphenate women working in digital film production. She is known for her work with sound and music, but she is also an experienced writer, editor, and director. She has always felt her light body, and learning what she can do with it provides her endless fascination and amazement.

With an acumen for Cognitive Psychology and Evolutionary Theory, she has studied a wide variety of energetic practices and wisdom traditions for over thirty years. Her favorite techniques are those that involve spacial awareness and vibrational discernment without the need for stillness and quiet.

Raised in Springfield, IL, she was originally trained in Evolutionary Biology and Psychology at Princeton and The University of California, Santa Barbara, before she graduated from Film School and moved to Los Angeles. The Covid-19 shutdown led her to develop a website for an online community that practiced awareness techniques to explore and experiment with expanded consciousness. When the world re-opened, she encountered many former colleagues in the sciences who were fascinated by her pandemic project and wanted to learn more. Thus, she developed The Triforium Tribune to serve this audience.

She has three grown daughters and now lives in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California. When the Hollywood strikes dried up the film industry, she began substitute teaching in the public high schools. To deal with the stress of subbing, she developed energetic practices to fit a teaching context. To help other teachers, she produces educational media to share what she knows and to legitimize doing energy work in public spaces like schools.

A 2024 encounter with a neighbor with POCD prompted her to revise and publish a short booklet she wrote almost twenty years prior. In it, she explains how she uses an adaptationist perspective to understand how consciousness is experienced by new mothers.
