About The Pressing Stones:
Andrea van de Loo, born in WWII Netherlands, grew up under the shadow of her father’s Nazi SS past. Despite a traumatic childhood, she embarked on a global journey of healing and self-discovery. The Pressing Stones chronicles eighty years of her life, touching on family, relationships, sexuality, spirituality, motherhood, psychedelic therapy, addiction recovery, and the generational impacts of war. It offers a personal view of Auroville, the spiritual community inspired by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. This poignant memoir highlights Andrea’s courage and determination to overcome her trauma, inspiring readers to pursue their own paths to healing, peace, and fulfillment, even in the face of life’s darkest challenges.
About Andrea van de Loo:
Andrea van de Loo, born in WWII Netherlands in 1942, studied psychology at the University of Amsterdam. She moved to India in 1971, meeting The Mother at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and living in Auroville until 1978, where her two daughters were born. Since 1979, she has resided in Santa Cruz, CA, running a healing practice until retiring in 2007. Now, she dedicates herself to family, friends, and sharing her memoir, hoping to contribute to a more peaceful world.
