reimmerse

Dip back in

To reimmerse is to immerse again—to plunge back into a liquid, environment, or activity after having withdrawn from it.

The word most often appears in figurative contexts: After years away from academia, she reimmersed herself in research.

It suggests a deliberate return to something that once fully occupied one's attention or surroundings.
