info_outlineAndrea was born during WW2 in the Netherlands. She experienced a traumatic childhood given her father's participation in the Nazi SS which cast a long shadow over her life. Despite these challenges, she embarked on a journey toward healing. Her search took her across the globe, where she eventually found solace, purpose and community.
In The Pressing Stones, Andrea relates eighty years of her life exploring her deeply intimate and emotional journey, exploring family, relationships, sexuality, spirituality, motherhood, psychedelic therapy, addiction recovery, and the generational aspects of war. It also presents a personal portrait of life in Auroville, the "City of Dawn," dedicated to the spiritual visions of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.
