The Crossings is a wellness resort and leadership retreat center in Austin, TX, with a unique offering of individual and organizational programs. Its mission is to provide experiences, in a learning environment, that expand awareness and support conscious choices by individuals, organizations, and cultures in the work of transformation and renewal.
The Crossings was founded by Ken and Joyce Beck in 2003. Ken, who retired from Dell Computers in 2000, is well acquainted with the stressors and challenges faced by today's employees and organizations. Joyce, a psychotherapist for more than 30 years, has extensive experience counseling people seeking not only stress relief but also meaning and purpose in their lives.
Aware that the challenges they experienced in their seemingly disparate careers converged, Ken and Joyce blended their expertise to create a community that would inspire people to find peace and balance in their professional, personal, and spiritual lives. Over the years, The Crossings has expanded its workshops for individuals to include broader professional programs to help businesses and organizations develop both a sustainable organizational structure and a healthy, positive environment for employees.
In keeping with our mission of encouraging balance and well-being for people, The Crossings employs eco-friendly practices and green building principles to sustain the environment's health as well. In 2008 The Crossings became a Partner Member of the Green Hotels Association as part of our continuing efforts to preserve the earth's natural beauty and resources.
We are proud to have been recognized repeatedly for our thoughtfully designed buildings and landscaping. The Crossings was awarded the 2003 Excellence in Construction Award by the Central Texas Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc., the 2004 Commercial Real Estate Architectural Design Award from the Austin Business Journal, and the 2005 Award of Excellence by the Austin Commercial Real Estate Society.
