   Jim - Lauren Odom

   Lauren Odom reads her piece inspired by Jim Morrison, life, death, cemeteries, and the space between them. About the Author/Reader/Performer: Lauren Odom is a writer, astrologer, intuitive, and creative exploring the space where the physical and spiritual worlds meet. Her work is grounded in the belief that life itself is a spiritual practice — that art, travel, music, beauty, history, and lived experience can all become gateways to intuition and deeper self-understanding. Alongside her work in the legal technology world, Lauren writes about astrology, intuition, creativity, and the unseen threads that connect us to places, people, and moments in time. Her current book-in-progress, inspired in part by Jim Morrison, explores creativity, identity, connection, and the liminal spaces between the ordinary and the mysterious. Her work tends to resonate with thoughtful, curious people who are spiritually open but firmly grounded — people who want to explore intuition and meaning without disconnecting from the richness of everyday life.
