TULCA
Tulca NI is a CIC (community interest company) founded in 2024 with the mission to deliver Trauma-Informed yoga and mindfulness practices to communities in Belfast that wouldn’t usually have access. Our team works with community partners to deliver programmes that are inclusive, accessible and culturally appropriate. We believe that wellbeing practices are a human right and that these practices within a community setting can support fostering a sense of safety, dignity and belonging.
Tulca is an Irish word gathered from fisherman and folklorists on the west coast that translates to ‘a huge wave ~ a large mass of fish ~ a horn-led charge’. (Manchán Magan ~ Sea Tamagotchi) The word ‘Tulca’ represents the power of community, as individuals we’re a drop in the ocean, but together we’re a powerful wave of change.
