Soul wondering

Sapattu is a quiet space, a place to come away from the hectic pace of life.  This five acre retreat center is located just ten miles from the Missouri state capitol.

The word "sapattu" is based on the Babylonian word from which we derive "Sabbath," a day of rest, reflection and renewal.  Sabbatical, the word for a time of more extended and intentional renewal, comes from the same root word.

Committed to seasonal awareness, proprietors Roger and Nancy TannerThies are avid gardeners.  Flower and vegetable gardens provide an ever changing variety of colors, smells and tastes.  The vegetables and fruits of Sapattu  grace the dinner table in a style best characterized as "country gourmet."

Fine food, quiet walks, a summer afternoon in the hammock or a winter night by the wood stove can provide renewal for a weary body.  There are many beautiful outdoor settings at Sapattu  and a variety of  comfortable indoor spaces.
