"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

I actually attended the workshop for my girlfriend, who is more into growing her own plants, but I got hooked and I started growing my own radishes! Matt is such a great teacher, and you can tell he has an enormous experience in the field and he did such a great job explaining permaculture and helping us connect with each other and with nature. Fantastic energy of the group and I can’t wait for the next one, thank you Matt! ​” -​ ​Agata Julia

“Our 1-day permaculture Course with Matthew was really nice. We learnt a lot, met like-minded people and enjoyed a really nice time. Matthew's approach to permaculture went further than what we had been taught on other permaculture courses, as he connected the permaculture principles to a deeper connection with ourselves, the nature and the present moment. This enhanced our way of understanding our environment and apply the permaculture principles in a more mindful way. We were also surprised at how fast we made a large compost structure from scratch with recycled materials. Overall we received lots of information that we integrated with ease, and have already started to apply right after the course to our farmhouse and garden. Thank you Matthew and see you very soon for another course!​” - Guillaume Jaques

Thanks for giving us tools and new perspectives, for opening our minds and hearts, and thanks a lot for teaching us about Deep Ecology, I'm amazed about it!​” - Elena Gelabert
