Torchlight Series: Olga Sannachina

In this intimate Torchlight evening, Olga Sannachina shares the unexpected story of how a seemingly harmless desire, to be famous, led her into years of psychotherapy and self-discovery. What began as curiosity slowly revealed deeper threads connected to early hospitalization as a baby, complex family dynamics, love, loss, and the immigrant experience. With honesty and reflection, Olga explores how our earliest wounds can shape our ambitions, our relationships, and the stories we tell about ourselves. Her story invites us to consider what lies beneath our desires, and what becomes possible when we are willing to look.
