Recentration

Recentration refers to the process of re-establishing a central focus or point of stability, particularly after a period of displacement, upheaval, or distraction. It can apply to individuals, groups, or systems. In a personal context, recentration might involve regaining a sense of emotional balance, re-prioritizing goals, or reconnecting with core values after experiencing stress, trauma, or a significant life change. This can involve practices such as mindfulness, therapy, or setting new routines.

On a larger scale, recentration can describe the efforts of a community or organization to recover from disruption and rebuild its foundational structures or shared purpose. This might involve addressing social inequalities, economic recovery, or political stabilization. The concept also appears in ecological contexts, where recentration can describe the process of restoring a degraded ecosystem to a more stable and balanced state. The underlying theme across these applications is the movement back towards a state of equilibrium and functional coherence.
