regather

Bring together anew

To regather is to gather again—to collect, assemble, or bring together something that had previously been gathered and then dispersed.

People regather after a break: The committee regathered after lunch.

One regathers scattered thoughts, composure, or strength: She regathered her wits and continued.

The word implies restoration of a prior state of collection.
