Allysha Lavino is a history geek, spiritual seeker, writer, and world traveler. Born in California to a long line of adventurers, her family encouraged her passion for history, culture, language, and spirituality. Studies in psychology taught her to apply the scientific method to reveal patterns of thought and behavior, but the true nature of her studies was in understanding how humans thrive across time and culture.

Eager to expand her research, she moved to France, where she met Henry Lincoln, bestselling author of Holy Blood, Holy Grail and foremost expert on the mysteries of Rennes-le-Château. Lincoln immediately recognized her natural scientific approach to questions of history, and her deep understanding of the spiritual implications of his work. She quickly became his protégée, and the two have partnered to ensure his legacy continues.

Allysha founded Sacred Mystery Tours, a boutique travel company, with the dream of sharing deep travel with people from around the world who dream of real adventure. Each year, she and her husband Mark offer Ancient Mystery Quests in the South of France for those ready to dive into the mysteries of history.
