Dementia affects not only the person living with the condition, but also those close to them. Seventy percent of people with dementia still live at home and are cared for by relatives or loved ones. In this way, the condition affects three times as many people than the people with dementia themselves: family, friends, caregivers, healthcare workers, colleagues, neighbours, \u2026   <\/p>\n<p>Despite the difficulties the condition causes, a meaningful and good quality of life often remains possible. Communication with people with dementia can be difficult and demanding. But the people involved with them are not only bearers of burden, they are above all creators of connection. So we can view these shadow participants as \u201chidden resources\u201d, even in especially challenging circumstances.    <\/p>\n<p>We can shift the focus from connections between brain cells to connections between people. Dementia is more than memory loss; it also involves a loss of communication. Good communication emerges from resonance: moving along with the rhythm of the other person.  <\/p>\n<p>While rocking together, calmness and attuning can arise. It would be wonderful to bring generations closer together and enrich one another by, for example, giving every child at least one opportunity to have a positive encounter with an unfamiliar older person. <\/p>\n<p>The experience within the Mirror Room invites us to reflect one another and to build our own memory palace. While we wait for the miracle pill, our fellow human beings remain the best medicine.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm&#8221;]<div class=\"qode_video_box\">\n\t<a itemprop=\"image\" class=\"qode_video_image\" href=\"https:\/\/memorypalace.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Official-trailer-Memory-Palace.mp4\" data-rel=\"prettyPhoto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1164\" src=\"https:\/\/memorypalace.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Geheugenpaleis-trailer-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memorypalace.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Geheugenpaleis-trailer-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/memorypalace.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Geheugenpaleis-trailer-1-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/memorypalace.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Geheugenpaleis-trailer-1-660x1024.jpg 660w, https:\/\/memorypalace.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Geheugenpaleis-trailer-1-700x1086.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t<span class=\"qode_video_box_button_holder\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"qode_video_box_button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"qode_video_box_button_arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1779445282027{padding-top: 96px !important;padding-bottom: 96px !important;background-color: #D1A771 !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;the-experience&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;wijnpruim&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>A walk that lingers in the memory<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1781020879187{padding-bottom: 46px !important;}&#8221;]As you walk through the Hall of Mirrors at the Royal Palace, you are invited to join in doing small, meaningful things together.
