Just checked again. No it is not listed in Shared
Any reference to to it on your Events page? When was the last time you saw the folder? When was the last time you signed in to your account? Are there any files in your account or is only this folder missing?
If it's no longer on your Sharing page then you may have removed your access to the folder, intentionally or not. Is the other person able to invite you back to the folder? If not, then there's likely no way to recover access to the folder. A new folder would need to be created and shared. The other member could then move the content from the old folder to the new one.
