Who are we?

Welcome to Sober Events where we are all about making recovery a fun, supportive, community-driven adventure. Robert and Heidi Woldhuis want to show you that sobriety isn't just possible—it's just plain awesome.

Meet Robert

Robert Woldhuis is living proof that you can turn your life around. He kicked a hard drug addiction and served almost 10 years in jails and prison (on the installment plan as he says) only to emerge as an engaging public speaker, life coach, and counselor. He specializes in addiction recovery, life coaching, and both computer and financial education for those on the mend. Robert also works full-time for Crossroads Prison Ministries, an international non-profit. He's all about helping others rebuild their lives and find lasting recovery, using all he has learned along the way.

Meet Heidi

Heidi Woldhuis, a recovered alcoholic and abuse survivor, is an ordained minister and chaplain who’s got a heart of love as big as her mission. She leads trauma and addiction recovery groups and works with people dealing with sexual and/or physical trauma and PTSD. Heidi is also a public speaker and steps in at times to preach at various churches. Her compassion and strength help others, and herself, heal and find hope.

Our Mission

We believe it takes an entire community to make life the best it can be for everyone. Our mission is to provide support, resources, and a sense of belonging to those in recovery while fostering understanding and collaboration with the general community. We’re gearing up to expand our ministry to multiple days a week, so we can reach more people and make a bigger impact. Our goal is to expand and offer classes, meetings, workshops, computer access and education, and church services. 

Our Passion

Together, we love Jesus, cherish time with family and friends, wholeheartedly embrace the recovery community, and find joy in adventuring in the great outdoors with our three dogs. Our prior life experiences fuel our passion to help others find their path to recovery. It is our hope that because of our pasts, we can better love, accept, and support all we meet in life.
