Innocence is defined in many ways. Being a virgin is very common clause to be called innocent.
But many people lose innocence in a score of other ways. Death, abuse, depression, hurt, deception, etc etc
Can innocence and a pure soul and heart be.... rejuvenated? so to speak

I think so. One only has to see the way things should be and step out of assumptions born from habit. If you really connect with and have feelings for life, then it's apparent what is right. After all, there's no trick involved, only letting truth come to light.

I guess it truly means on your definition of innocence.
If your heart is only needing rejuvination because it is waining then of course it can be because you never lost it. once it is gone however I do not think you can regain what you lose. Once your true innocence is lost it is forever lost and one may spend the rest of their lives seeking some form of redemption or way to be that innocent individual they once were, but once you experience something that changes that innocence only a mind wipe or amnesia would ever have a chance at allowing you to mentally be innocent from within again.
Again if it has not been lost and is just waining, than of course it can be rejuvinated.
As long as you mean Innocence as described in the second sentence.
The only other exception I could think of is if you were an innocent being controlled by someone not innocent and were forced to do things to yourself or others against your will. Here you have not lost innocence, you have had someone who is not innocent inflict harm upon you.
Just My opinion and it is not a religious one either based on just logic. Innocence is a state of mind and being, not physical state as you stated I agree.

Innocence is over rated. Being a virgin is not innocence. Being ignorant is innocence, and nobody tries to achieve that. A pure soul and heart can be rejuvenated though, through forgiveness.

I think it might be possible but it depends on what it is because virginty once its lost it can't be reclaimed, but say if one finds religion or some sort of peace they maybe able to regain a pure soul and a heart. Its hard to say.

you can't unsee things and unlive experiences....you can forgive but not forget (unless you practice the art of repression). So, to me, innocence lost will never be completely regained.

no. don't confuse innocence with purity. innocence is like understanding the depth of "purity" and human nature.
