Shelley Astrof

Shelley Astrof is a writer, educator, and lifelong student of meditation whose work explores the meeting place of stillness and change. Her writing reflects a deep curiosity about how human beings learn, adapt, and remember what matters beneath the surface of a constantly evolving world.

She holds a Master of Education from McGill University, a Doctor of Meditation from Vishwa Unnyayan Samsad in India, a certificate of advanced studies in Yogic Science, Vedantic philosophy, and the Theory and Practice of Meditation, as well as being awarded a Peace Pioneer from the International Meditation Institute. Her teaching journey has taken her from classrooms in Montreal to northern communities in Quebec, film sets, and spiritual learning communities in India.

Shelley’s love for education, meditation, and storytelling is woven throughout her work. Whether writing for children or adults, she invites reflection, presence, and a quieter way of seeing — offering stories not as instruction, but as a gentle pause.
