Calling the laravel framework from outside of laravel. E.g. calling from wordpress to laravel

i have read here but it does not seem to be quite what I am looking for

I am trying to use

Auth::user() from within wordpress functions.php

I am using corcel to call wordpress from within laravel

but the opposite, calling laravel from within wordpress seems a bit more tricky.

When I do

require_once __DIR__.'/../../../mylaravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';
$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../../../mylaravelbootstrap/app.php';
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

i get

FATAL ERROR: UNCAUGHT RUNTIMEEXCEPTION: A FACADE ROOT HAS NOT BEEN SET. IN /VAR/WWW/HTML/FOO.LOCAL/MYLARAVEL/VENDOR/LARAVEL/FRAMEWORK/SRC/ILLUMINATE/SUPPORT/FACADES/FACADE.PHP ON LINE 234

what is the correct way to initialize laravel from outside of laravel context?

I am trying to call laravel from wordpress, laravel is a subfolder installation of the wordpress installation, and does not know about its existence.

Basically:

/VAR/WWW/HTML/FOO.LOCAL/ <- is the wordpress installation

/VAR/WWW/HTML/FOO.LOCAL/MYLARAVEL <- is where laravel is
