A Transformational Experience
with Alphonso James
Sunday, April 12, 2026
6:00 – 8:00 PM
Colectivo Coffee · Milwaukee, WI
An invitation to listen, reflect, and connect
Unfragile is the belief that adversity does not have to break us. It can become the very thing that makes us more human.
It is not toughness. It is not simply bouncing back. Unfragile is the capacity to grow stronger through difficulty while remaining deeply compassionate, deeply present, and deeply connected to others.
Unfragile is a philosophy, a practice, and a community. It begins with one honest question: What if the hardest things you have been through are not just wounds to heal, but seeds of something new?
At seventeen years old, Alphonso James was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to prison. He would spend the next 32 years incarcerated for a crime he did not commit.
Inside those walls, Alphonso faced a choice that most of us will never have to make: let rage and despair define him, or find another way. He chose transformation.
Through years of inner work, mindfulness, and an extraordinary commitment to forgiveness, Alphonso turned his suffering into compassion, his isolation into deep human connection, and his anger into purpose.
Recently exonerated and free, Alphonso now shares what he discovered. His story is the doorway. Unfragile is what you find on the other side.
This is not a lecture you sit through. It is an experience you participate in.
A grounding practice to bring you fully into the room and into yourself. No experience needed. Just a willingness to be present.
Hear the story firsthand. Alphonso shares the moments of despair, the turning points, and the practices that transformed him from the inside out.
Small group conversations guided by prompts from the Unfragile Reflection Journal. A chance to connect honestly with others.
Take home your copy of the journal and continue the work at your own pace. The evening is the invitation. The journey is yours.
You will leave with more than a story. You will leave with a practice.
Includes admission and your copy of the Unfragile Reflection Journal
