Moments in Lavender Reminiscence DVD
$36.00
A lavender-themed reminiscence DVD for seniors and aged care groups, featuring video and still images set to relaxing classical music. Includes a full-length 28-minute version and a shorter edited version, both suited to group or one-to-one reminiscence sessions.
This reminiscence DVD for seniors presents lavender-themed video and still imagery across two viewing options: a full 28-minute film and a shorter edited version with a faster presentation pace. It is suited to group reminiscence sessions in aged care settings, including use with individuals living with dementia.
How it can be used
Screen the full-length version during a relaxed group session, or use the shorter version when attention spans are limited. The lavender colour theme and familiar imagery — sewing, gardens, and balloons — can prompt conversation and personal recollections. Pair with the companion Moments in Lavender picture book or ready-to-print picture book on CD for a more extended reminiscence activity.
The DVD includes the following content:
- Images of hand sewing and a vintage treadle sewing machine
- Lavender gardens and lavender sachet making
- A girl playing with purple balloons
- Footage of the historic Jacaranda Trees at New Farm Park, Queensland
- Ambient relaxing classical music throughout
- Group viewing session: Screen the full 28-minute version as a structured group activity, then invite participants to share memories prompted by the imagery — sewing, gardens, or familiar colours.
- Shorter session use: Use the edited shorter version for residents with limited concentration, pausing at key images to encourage brief conversation or responses.
- Paired reminiscence: Use alongside the companion Moments in Lavender picture book so participants can handle and discuss the printed images before or after viewing.
- Sensory prompt activity: Bring in a small lavender sachet or fabric sample during the screening to add a tactile and olfactory element to the session.
- One-to-one viewing: Screen the DVD with an individual living with dementia as a calm, low-demand engagement activity, using the imagery as a gentle conversation starter.
