"The natural building workshop I attended in Alişler Yurdu in July 2017 with Matt has been an overarching introduction to permaculture that fitted in only 4 days. Matt has a very effective way of curating his course, finding balance between head-heart-hands; which gives you space to think about, to feel and to practically work on the holistic approach that is rooted in permaculture. All in all; you are guaranteed to be eager to learn more and to feel excited to start new things after any workshop with Matt." - Sera Çakıroğlu

"Matthew Prosser, he is the man. I am so happy to come to one of the most amazing places in Turkey, Alisler Yurdu which is so beautifully designed in Permaculture systems. A beautiful spot in unique nature with sea views and wild flora. The workshop was highly worthwhile to join. I learned many different techniques about sustainable building, super adobe, cob, ferro cement and also about vegetable production. He shared a lot of information and we had opportunities to practice the theory. Also the part of the non violent communication which fit very nicely into the workshop. It is highly recommended to every one who loves and protects nature." - Funda Cilga
