NACHOS S3E12 - Wintering the Human Season

In this first NACHOS episode of December — and the final episode of the semester — we explore what it means to winter as humans. From the first snowfall across Michigan to ancient cultural rituals, from the biology of cold adaptation to the inner seasons we each carry, this episode weaves together story, science, history, and neuro-affirming reflection.Join Dr. Dutch Hazlett as we journey through:• the meaning of winter in our bodies and our cultures• how ancient humans adapted to cold through community• the inner “human seasons” of rest, reflection, and becoming• what wintering means for neurodivergent minds and nervous systems• why slowing down, seeking warmth, and honoring your internal season matters• and a gentle call to support April’s Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month programming through our GoFundMeThis episode brings everything home with a powerful affirmation:You are allowed to winter. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to honor your season.If NACHOS has been a grounding part of your semester, consider following, sharing, and supporting our mission as we prepare for a full month of neuro-affirming programming this April.Follow the mission.
