“I myself am strange and unusual.”

It was Lydia Deetz in the eclectic ’90s film Beetlejuice who first uttered this intriguing phrase, and to this day, some of us still take it to heart. Some of us prefer the offbeat to the mainstream, and we celebrate our strangeness in spaces crafted with us in mind. Enter Healer, an eclectic celebration of arts and the bizarre that will keep even the oddest among us intrigued. Healer in Indiana is an art and music venue that is truly, genuinely unique, and once you visit, you’ll slowly feel yourself becoming immersed in the high strangeness – and you’ll definitely have to keep coming back for more.

Once upon a time, the building that now houses Healer was an office strip mall.

Dull and uncreative, it was a place where people went to collect a paycheck and work the days away in a quiet, drab white room. Now, it couldn't be further removed from - or more at odds with - its original self.

The space is now a sacred spot for the eclectic and the artsy; it's a strange and beautiful place of respite from the dull routine of waking life designed to take you away from it all - at least for the night.

Equal parts bar, music venue, and art installation, nights spent at Healer are truly the closest we'll ever get to time spent in alternate realities. The atmosphere here is carefully curated to create as much weird, creative zen as possible.
