The Crossings

From the Community Impact Newspaper January 2008...

The Crossings is a learning center set in a retreat-type atmosphere. Guests may come for a day, weekend or as long as they wish.

It regularly hosts workshops led by motivational speakers, writers and teachers.
The classes are held in one of four major meeting spaces at The Crossings and cover a variety of topics, including physical and mental fitness, watercolor and trapeze.

While at The Crossings, guests may indulge in the facility’s award-winning wellness spa, which features 13 treatment rooms, a sauna, hot tub and outdoor swimming pool.

“There is always an aspect of education that goes along with everything that happens at The Crossings,” Beck said. “The education in the benefits of massage includes why one service is different from another and how that affects the individual.”

The Crossings is located just west of Austin in the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge.
